Happiness is sought by all - but what, really, is happiness? Sometimes our confusion over just what it is we are looking for can make it seem elusive. Here, Lois Blyth explains what happiness is - and what it is not - and shows how it is within everyone's reach. She details the science of happiness, such as developing a happy brain, and its power to heal and even extend life. Then, she suggests simple activities for each week of the year that will help you reframe your view of the world. Some will lead you to self-reflection: look at what you're grateful for; increase your self-esteem and appreciate your uniqueness; become aware of your thoughts and language to note negative phrases and replace them with positive ones; tackle procrastination; and find happiness at work.
