The Habit of a Happy Life: 30 Days to a Positive Addiction

This book offers a blueprint for achieving a happier, healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle. At the center is the formation of a Positive Addiction. Research scientific and anecdotal shows that just as a negative addiction usually becomes the North Star for a person s life, causing shame, isolation, and loss of control, a Positive Addiction can become the North Star that points in a different direction: toward greater peace, fulfillment, and optimism. And, further, we know that a Positive Addiction takes just 30 days to establish, to take root so that it can grow. The perspectives and activities in the book are designed to help individuals to identify their strengths while also accounting for idiosyncrasies and resistances. Thus, the plan doesn t care how lethargic your spirit and body, or how ambivalent you have been in the past, it asks only that you start exactly where you are, even to anticipate manageable little failures along the way and then to keep going. Once your Positive Addiction is selected whether a new activity or something reclaimed from long ago it becomes an anchor for positive change on every level. Imagine how reshaping your days to make time for a part of you not yet explored or one that has been left behind can enrich every part of life. What will your Positive Addiction be? Will you paint, or walk, or study Renaissance fashion, or practice French, or explore clean eating, or investigate yoga, or plant a wildflower garden, or, or, or ... ? Imagine. Envision. Do.
