Are you as authentically happy as your social media profiles make it seem?When a group of researchers asked young adults around the globe what
their number one priority was in life, the top answer was "happiness."
Not success, fame, money, looks, or love...but happiness. For a rising
generation of young adults raised as digital natives in a fast-paced,
ultra-connected world, authentic happiness still seems just out of
reach. While social media often shows well-lit selfies and flawless
digital personas, today's 16- to 25-year-olds are struggling to find real
meaning, connection, and satisfaction right alongside their
overburdened parents.
AN INTRODUCTION TO HAPPINESS tackles the
ever-popular subject of happiness and well-being, but
reframes it for a younger reader struggling with Instagram envy and
high-stakes testing, college rejections and helicopter parents.
Professor of positive psychology Dr. Tim Bono distills his most popular
college course on the science of happiness
into creative, often counterintuitive, strategies for young adults to
lead happier, more fulfilling lives.
Filled with exciting
research, practical exercises, honest advice, and quotes and stories
from young adults themselves, AN INTRODUCTION TO HAPPINESS is a master class
for a generation looking for science-based, real world ways to feel
just a little bit happ
ier every day.
