Dr. Dan Baker, director of the Life Enhancement Program at
Canyon Ranch, has devoted his life to teaching people how to
be happy. And apparently, most of us could use a little
tutoring. Research has shown that the root of
unhappiness--fear--lies in the oldest, reptilian part of our
brains, and negative reactions are often dictated by primal
instincts. We're literally "hardwired for hard times." In
What Happy People Know, Dr. Baker uses evidence from the new
science of happiness to show us how we can overcome this
genetic predisposition toward negative reactions and lead a
truly rich, happy, and healthy life. In this book, Dr. Baker shares the program that has
revolutionized the lives of countless unhappy people, VIP's
and regular Joes and Janes alike. First, you'll learn the
only two issues that ever cause unhappiness and devise your
plan to overcome both of them. Then, Dr. Baker teaches you
how to spot the happiness traps, the five doomed ways we try
to make ourselves happy, only to dig ourselves further into
misery. Finally, he shares his happiness tools, the six
simple skills that, when practiced consistently, will
inevitably lead to greater optimism, courage, good humor,
and fulfillment--in short, to happiness.
