Do you struggle to make real change because you're starting too big without building a foundation first - get a new job, lose twenty pounds, learn a new language? Maybe the tools at your disposal seem inadequate, the prospect of change overwhelms you, and you feel stuck. In Happy Habits, happiness expert Tal Ben-Shahar provides accessible and easy-to-implement tools, and an easy-to-follow three step process, that can help you realize your goals, aspirations, and dreams. He starts with simple intervention techniques to reset your mood in as little time as possible - what he calls Happiness Boosters in the form of MVIs - Minimum Viable Interventions, which include: taking three deep breaths; writing down five things for which you are grateful; reading a quote slowly and deliberately; vigorously climbing stairs for 45 seconds. From there, discover how to improve wellbeing - spiritual, physical, intellectual, relational, and emotional - and build a stronger base within yourself for committing to change, increasing your willpower, and finding joy in the journey. The final step in Ben-Shahar's guide will help you learn how to create the daily rituals that will help you turn goals into habits, and intentions into reality, using the 3 Rs of change: Reminders, Repetitions, and Rituals. With concrete examples, practical, direct advice, and an easy-to-follow action plan, Ben-Shahar shows you that while cultivating lasting change takes motivation, it does not have to be a frustrating experience that is doomed to failure: you're just starting without the foundation you need for real change.
