In the revised edition of this engaging book, the author shows that happiness is nothing more than a way of thinking and doing; that beliefs lead to actions, which in turn lead to happiness. His strategies are practical and simple and, in his experience with clients, effective. This second edition contains a new chapter presenting the widely praised 'CHOOSE' happiness model. This distinctive approach brings together findings from the last few decades of Positive Psychology research and presents them in a way that's both practical and easy to remember. The 'CHOOSE' model presents six key strategies to happiness including clarity and optimism, building positive relationships and utilising your inner strengths. Timothy Sharp says: 'There's no doubt that happiness is something you choose – and this new model will help you make more decisions that will lead to more happiness.' The CHOOSE happiness model in a nutshell: C = Clarity (of life goals, direction, and of purpose) H = Healthy living (it's hard to be happy if you're literally sick and tired all the time) O = Optimism (a positive attitude about yourself, your future and the world) O = Others (including all of the important relationships in your life) S = Strengths (inherent qualities and attributes) E = Enjoy the moment (including having fun, as well as being grateful and appreciative).
