Description: A comprehensive guide to cultivating wellbeing, combining cutting edge science and primordial folk wisdom. 'A brilliant read... a gamechanger' Paul Ross, Talk Sport'Essential reading... Written with clarity, vivacity and depth' Manda ScottA comprehensive guide to cultivating wellbeing, combining cutting edge science and primordial folk wisdom.Beyond Happy explores how evolution has wired us to keep happiness just out of reach, leaving us perpetually stuck on a happiness treadmill. Instead of striving to escape it, the book argues, we should focus on making the treadmill a place we want to be. Finding this wellbeing begins with listening to our emotions, discovering intrinsic motivation and pursuing our authentic values. Fabian coaches you through this process of self-actualisation. Wellbeing, however, is not solely an individual pursuit - it is something we cultivate together.Most profoundly, Beyond Happy shows the way out of nihilism - the pervasive sense that life on the treadmill is purposeless and incoherent. To escape this despair, we must develop a moral compass. To heal the toxicity of our acrimonious politics, we need to rediscover the joy of sharing and celebrating what we love.Delivered with an entertaining mix of academic precision, a podcaster's knack for storytelling, and the down-to-earth panache Australians are known for, Beyond Happy is a one-stop shop to everything you need to know about the good life.
