This work explains that unhappiness is so persistent because it is hardwired into our brains. It argues that stress and fear were vital in primitive times, but are destructive for our lives today. We cannot feel fear and appreciation simultaneously and can only be happy by adopting practical steps for appreciating and loving life. It argues that we can't talk our way out of problems - we have to do something. It explains that there are key things that all happy people have in common and from there develops six happiness tools that it explains can be incorporated into our daily lives: appreciating what we have; making choices; building personal power; leading with strengths; telling healthy stories about our lives; and living a balanced life. It exhorts the reader to be proactive and learn these simple tools and make them a habit.

What Happy People Know: How the New Science of Happiness Can Change Your Life for the Better

What Happy People Know Dr. Dan Baker, director of the Life Enhancement Program at Canyon Ranch, has devoted his life to teaching people how to be happy. And apparently, most of us could use a little tutoring. Research has shown that the root of unhappiness--fear--lies in the oldest, reptilian part of our brains, and negative reactions are often dictated by primal instincts. We're literally "hardwired for hard times." In What Happy People Know, Dr. Baker uses evidence from the new science of happiness to show us how we can overcome this genetic predisposition toward negative reactions and lead a truly rich, happy, and healthy life. Maybe you're wishing for more--more money, more friends, more status--thinking that "more" itself will insulate you from fear, making you feel safer and therefore happier. But Dr. Baker's clinics have been filled with VIPs who are just as unhappy as the next guy--some even more so. In What Happy People Know, Dr. Baker shares the program that has revolutionized the lives of countless unhappy people, VIPs and regular Joes and Janes alike. First, you'll learn the only two issues that ever cause unhappiness and devise your plan to overcome both of them. Then, Dr. Baker teaches you how to spot the happiness traps, the five doomed ways we try to make ourselves happy, only to dig ourselves further into misery. Finally, he shares his happiness tools, the six simple skills that, when practiced consistently, will inevitably lead to greater optimism, courage, good humor, and fulfillment--in short, to happiness.

The director of Canyon Ranch's award-winning Life Enhancement Program draws on the latest discoveries in psychology and gender-specific medicine to help all women enjoy richer, healthier, more fulfilling lives. In this innovative book about what brings women happiness, Dr. Dan Baker focuses on the five traps that can compromise happiness and leave women yearning for a better life. Unlike clinical psychology, which focuses on trying to fix what's wrong with an individual, positive psychology builds on a person's natural strengths. The root of most unhappiness, fear, finds a special expression in women, who too often succumb to the happiness traps of perfectionism, wanton wanting, people pleasing, seeking revenge, thinking I'm nothing without X, and overinvesting in their careers. In What Happy Women Know, Dr. Baker synthesizes a wide range of current research on how women uniquely respond to life's slings and arrows and how they can best bounce back from them. The book offers women a compelling set of tools that will help them accept the past and actively move toward a happier future of their own design.

La ciencia ha demostrado que la raíz de la infelicidad está en los impulsos del cerebro arcaico. Pero también es verdad que hemos evolucionado y que una parte de nuestro cerebro es capaz de pensamientos superiores que nos capacitan para reconocer esos impulsos. Comprender esto y aprender a evitar estas trampas a la felicidad son los primeros pasos para reeducar nuestras reacciones y, finalmente, nuestra química cerebral. En este libro el doctor Baker nos da a conocer el programa que ha revolucionado las vidas de innumerables personas. Primero nos muestra los problemas básicos que nos causan infelicidad. A continuación nos enseña a detectar las trampas que impiden conseguir la felicidad, es decir, las cinco formas como tratamos de ser felices sólo para hundirnos más en el sufrimiento. Finalmente nos da sus herramientas de la felicidad: técnicas sencillas que, si se practican con constancia, llevan inevitablemente a un mayor optimismo, más valor, buen humor y satisfacción, en resumen, a la felicidad. Durante quince años, el doctor Dan Baker ha sido director del galardonado Life Enhancement Program en Canyon Ranch.
