During times of uncertainty and fear, we need to become even more aware of happy, positive feelings to help neutralize unpleasant ones—especially when these are part of a collective experience that many are feeling simultaneously. This book helps readers to consider their own happiness from a different perspective, rather than telling them how to be happy as per the latest scientific study. The four happiness principles in Practical Happiness are a philosophy for living a realistic yet happy life: Happiness is personal Happiness Zappers can be managed Happiness changes as you change Happiness is bigger than you think These principles help readers recognize personal happiness, manage their Happiness Zappers, recognize that happiness changes, and become more aware of new happy moments. Readers will be shown how to apply these principles so they can experience more and consistent happiness in real, concrete, and practical ways. A recent study showed Americans are unhappier than they've been in 50 years. Prior to that, a 2018 study showed that of 2.5 million people polled, Americans are more anxious, depressed, and dissatisfied than they've been since 2009, the height of the great recession, despite the robust economy at the time of the survey. As we enter into a new challenging time globally, even more polls are confirming that we are mentally more stressed and anxious than we were prior to the pandemic. So, finding happiness will be an even bigger challenge for many people. As Pamela Gail Johnson has learned since founding the Society of Happy People, happiness doesn't happen as the result of the absence of unhappiness, stress, fear, chaos, and annoyances. Since your happiness comes from the inside, your happy mindset influences your reaction to these experiences. How you manage those Happiness Zappers determines their influence on your personal happiness. |
Pamela Gail JohnsonPamela Gail Johnson has helped people understand, expand, and rethink their happiness mindset since 1998, when she founded the Society of Happy People at the height of the self-help movement. As a mostly happy person, Pamela asked herself, "Where are all of the happy people?" She then decided they needed their own tribe. Today there are 52K of them on Facebook, and more elsewhere. Pamela and the Society have been featured in many national and regional magazines and newspapers, including People magazine, Newsweek, The Washington Post, The Cotsco Connection, USA Today, Prevention, Harper's, Yoga Journal, Self, Redbook, Glamour, The Wall Street Journal, The Dallas Morning News, and The Los Angeles Times. Numerous broadcast outlets have featured Pamela and the Society, including CNN, Good Morning America, The List, local TV network affiliates around the country, and radio stations nationwide. Pamela's work with the Society has also been covered by The Associated Press. The Society has been featured in several books, including 365 Health and Happiness Boosters by M.J. Ryan, Live Your Passion by Scott Trudo, Think You're The Only One? by Seth Brown, Voices of Truth by Nina L. Diamond, and Chase's Calendar of Events, as well as the Every Day's A Holiday calendar.
