Most of us do, but happiness can be elusive: it\u2019s not obvious where to find it and we don\u2019t learn about it at school. This book, possibly the first of its kind, aims to provide you with a\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\">complete but compact life guide to happiness and health.<\/span> It contains all you need to know to make your first steps along a path of increased happiness and health and acts as a guide for your subsequent journey.<\/p><p>It also serves as a <span class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\">map of the subject<\/span>, and\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\">signposts further resources<\/span>\u00a0to help you as you progress.<br \/>The author has extracted knowledge from<span class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\">\u00a0many different disciplines\u00a0<\/span>(Evolutionary Science, Buddhism, Mindfulness, Psychology, Psychotherapy, Neuroscience, Medical Research, Health, Fitness and Nutrition). He has then\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-italic\">condensed, restructured<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\">systematically\u00a0<\/span>combined that material into one book. If you don\u2019t have the time to read the many other good books out there, then this <span class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\">\u201cone-stop shop\u201d<\/span>\u00a0might be a good place for you to start.<\/p><p>The author has made a particular effort to make this book\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\">easy to understand<\/span>. He has used\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\">models, pictures and analogies. <\/span>He has also\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\">structured<\/span>\u00a0the material in a very carefully chosen way. Each topic is symbolised by the root or branch of a tree.

From the\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\">Happiness Cup Model,<\/span>\u00a0you will more easily understand how all of these positive and negative factors combine to determine your\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\">current level of happiness<\/span>. This will help you to find the particular areas that you want to focus on. Then you will learn\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\">various techniques<\/span> that will help you implement changes (for example meditation, positive thinking, relationships, compassion, lifestyle, exercise, healthy diet, relaxation, stress reduction, resilience and more). In this way, the book equips you with a toolbox of knowledge and skills that enable you to gradually develop a\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-italic\">happier, healthier lifestyle.<\/span><\/p><p>Because\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-italic\">we are all different<\/span>, this book does not recommend one\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-italic\">single solution<\/span>\u00a0for everyone. Instead, it shows you how to review your life against the bigger picture presented, and then\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-italic\">customise<\/span>\u00a0a plan to suit your individual needs.<br \/>You will also learn here that our minds and bodies are not as rigidly fixed by our genes as previously thought. This is very encouraging news; it means there\u2019s plenty of scope for improvement.<br \/>Does this book really achieve its ambitious aim?

The tree model has been specifically structured with this in mind. Each of the roots and branches can become one<span class=\"a-text-italic\">\u00a0module<\/span> of an educational course. The modules all fit together seamlessly to deliver the whole picture like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.

It also represents how the mind moves from the real world to the imaginary one and back to create solutions to problems.
