In a world that constantly tells us to “stay positive,” happiness can feel frustratingly out of reach, especially when you’re navigating stress, self-doubt, and emotional overwhelm. We’re taught that happiness comes from success, relationships, or meeting certain expectations. But when life doesn’t go as planned, that version of happiness can quickly fall apart.
You’re not doing anything wrong.
You’ve just been taught a version of happiness that was never meant to hold you through real life.
In The Happiness High, certified mindfulness and neuroscience coach Dana-Maxx Pomerantz—founder of The Be Happy Project, a global mental wellness community reaching nearly one million people—shares an honest and practical approach to happiness. One that isn’t fragile and doesn’t disappear when life gets hard.
Blending over a decade of research, science-backed tools, relatable stories, and simple, actionable exercises, this book will help you stop chasing happiness and start creating it in a way that truly lasts.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
- Quiet overthinking and calm your mind by regulating your nervous system
- Break free from limiting beliefs and negative thought patterns
- Build self-trust, confidence, and emotional resilience
- Manage stress and navigate difficult emotions in a healthy, grounded way
- Stay present and steady, even when life doesn’t go as planned
- Create lasting happiness, inner peace, and a deeper sense of purpose
This isn’t about forcing positivity or pretending everything is okay.
It’s about learning how to feel safe, supported, and strong within yourself—no matter what life brings.
If you’re ready to stop chasing happiness and start creating it, The Happiness High will show you exactly how.
Happiness isn’t something you earn at the end of the journey. It’s the foundation you build along the way.
