Eight Steps to Happiness is a practical guide to becoming a happier person in just eight weeks.


Is happiness really all in the mind? Why are some people always happy while others seem doomed to a life of misery? Is it love, money, looks or genes? Scientists have discovered that happiness isn't just a fleeting emotion or a quality that some fortunate people are born with. Happiness is a skill that can be cultivated, and the positive effects can be seen in our brains, bloodstreams and behaviour. Eight Steps to Happiness is a practical, scientific guide to becoming a happier person in just eight weeks. The exercises and activities in Eight Steps are simple but profoundly effective and scientifically proven. As the eight volunteers in the ABC TV series Making Australia Happy have shown, Eight Steps leads to measurable physiological changes, from improved immune function to better sleep and increased physical strength. The Eight Steps to Happiness program gives you no-nonsense tools to make real change in your life. Using these techniques, you too can be on the road to a happier, healthier and more fulfilled life. And be warned: happiness is contagious!
