What are you bringing to retirement besides your 401(k)? One thing to leave behind are outdated beliefs about happiness reinforced by your full-time working years. It’s time to break free and craft your own.
Stephanie Harrison’s New Happy: Getting Happiness Right in a World That’s Got It Wrong is a refreshing and insightful exploration of happiness that offers a new perspective on happiness and well-being. It can help you redefine what happiness means in a world that often prioritizes individual achievement and material success over emotional well-being, relationships, and purpose.
Harrison, an expert in the science of happiness with a Master’s degree in Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, brings a decade of research to bear in this groundbreaking book. She’s the founder of The New Happy, a company reaching millions worldwide with an innovative approach to well-being. She takes aim at what she calls “Old Happy” – the societal misconceptions about happiness based on extrinsic factors that often ultimately lead to dissatisfaction. Instead, Harrison lays out an alternative path pursuing true happiness by discovering your authentic self and using your unique gifts to help others, which is relevant and timely for anyone embarking on a new chapter.
New Happy distills complex psychological concepts in accessible and engaging ways, using the author’s beautiful artwork and visual elements to explain key ideas that will often resonate with your life experience. And it’s not just theoretical; it offers a step-by-step guide for you to apply the key principles, unwinding old habits and unlocking your personal gifts. The science is brought to life through stories and reflections from her personal experiences, sharing how her own striving led to exhaustion and a lack of fulfillment.
Stephanie Harrison’s New Happy is a timely and important contribution to the field of Positive Psychology and personal development. Its blend of scientific rigor, practical advice, and stunning visuals make it a valuable resource as you embark on creating a new life in retirement.
