The key tenet of The How Of Happiness is that every human being has a happiness 'set point' which, depending on how high or low it is, can determine how positive or negative they feel. This book offers a practical approach to help readers increase their set point, find a level of happiness above what they would normally feel, and experience more satisfaction in life.

Based on scientific research and trials, this is a groundbreaking book that offers a practical plan enabling readers to achieve a more positive outlook at home, at work, and in their personal life. It will also be of immense benefit to the hundreds of thousands of people who suffer from depression in the UK, as it provides the tools to feel better about life.
