Learn How to Change Your Outlook on Life

From one of the Creators of the New York Times bestselling Random Acts of Kindness series, M.J. Ryan teaches you the power of positive thinking.

Train your brain to be optimistic, even in the darkest situations. From stress management tips to positive and motivational quotes, M.J. Ryan’s The Happiness Makeover shows you how to transform your mindset so that you can face any difficult challenge thrown your way.

We all want the things that we are sure will make us happy—money, success, independence, and love. But when we finally get them, we can find to our surprise that we are the same miserable, moody, or just not really happy person we always were. Do things have to be that way? Absolutely not!

Cultivating the ability to feel contentment is the key. There are people whose lives are full of serious challenges but who nevertheless feel peace and joy—and there are those who have few difficulties in life and yet feel hopeless. We can teach ourselves to be happy and enjoy every day, and M.J. Ryan, the bestselling author of The Power of Patience and Attitudes of Gratitude, shows us how. The Happiness Makeover gives you a plan that can help you:

  • Clear away happiness hindrances like worry, fear, envy, and grudges
  • Discover happiness boosters
  • Rewire your brain to experience joy
  • Learn to think optimistically

If you enjoyed transformative journeys like A Year of Positive Thinking, The Happiness Equation, or Hardwiring Happiness, then you’ll love The Happiness Makeover.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideas to think about.

I only give 5 stars to books I am willing to read more than once. I like how her book is broken down in short chapters that you can read quickly. I like that approach because it's just enough to think about. There was only one problem and that was one of her chapters she made reference to finding your strengthens and directed you to her site. I could not find what she had referenced and I did see someone else posted a question looking for the same reference she made in her book. Outside of that it has a lot of valuable ideas.

Great for happiness/gratitude journaling! I like to read 10-15 minutes every morning and write in a gratitude journal for 5-10 minutes and this is the perfect book for that! You can usually read 1-2 chapters during that time and it’s actually good, applicable information :)
