How To Be Happy
You don't have to search endlessly for happiness. You can practice it.
You've worked hard, achieved your goals, and followed the well-meaning advice. Yet that sense of deep fulfilment still feels just out of reach. But the problem was never you. It's that no one ever taught you that happiness is a skillset, not a destination.
Declan Edwards β "That Happiness Guy" β has spent over a decade coaching thousands of people through BU Happiness College, an award-winning program grounded in positive psychology research. How to Be Happy distills that coaching experience into five core skills that build lasting well-being from the inside out, one intentional choice at a time.
- Understand your emotions and work with them instead of against them
- Tune out the noise and reconnect with what truly matters to you
- Train your brain to notice the good without ignoring life's challenges
- Get clear on who you really are β your values, your strengths and what makes you feel loved
- Build a life with real direction, meaning and daily purpose
How to be Happy is for people who want real tools, not inspirational slogans. Complete with practical exercises, insightful case studies and research-backed strategies that meet you exactly where you are. Whether you're a growth-minded professional, an overwhelmed achiever or simply ready to feel more alive, now is the time to progress towards the happy and fulfilling life you deserve β one skill and one step at a time.
