Life got you down? Discover the cure to gloomy days in this book—packed with wisdom and inspiration guaranteed to bring your smile back.

The obstacles to your happiness. There are a lot of things in life that we worry and stress about. Our jobs, relationships, and possessions are important to us, and because of that, we look to them for happiness. But when they ultimately disappoint us, they act as obstacles to attaining that very happiness we thought they would bring. In this motivational book, author Hugh Prather urges readers to let go of attitudes that hold us back from experiencing happiness.

How to live a happy life. When we recognize and address the obstacles in our lives, we open the door for happiness to come in. But it doesn’t happen without putting in the work. During his years of counseling, Prather learned and developed an actual program for being happy. Through following this program, and examining our own lives, we can learn how to actively work towards achieving the happiness we all long for.

In How to Live in the World and Still Be Happy learn:

How to find your happy life with the help of concrete exercises
About the obstacles that may be standing in your way
The benefits of an inspirational guide that you can return to again and again

Reviews for How to Live in the World and Still Be Happy

[Mela Nie · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Some notes:
• Decide on an all-encompassing purpose on whatever you do.
• It is not making a mistake but dwelling on it that delays us.
• “Are you sure you want to call him? He is a very busy person.” = “He is more important than you.”
• We have no chance of getting happy when we are angry.
• Responsibility does not mean guilt. Guilt is an inefficient reaction. Yet indulging on it is not without consequences. Guilt blocks insight by focusing on ourselves and excluding the people we affected. Unless it is a deeply felt remorse for what we have caused and a strong determination to undo the damage, guilt is just another form of self-indulgence.

Looking to buy a few hard copies some time soon for myself and a few friends. A very well rounded view of how life works, what we usually do with it and how to do better. I'm very grateful for it's existence.
