Build the Life You Want: The Art and Science of Getting Happier

Build the Life You Want introduces you to the cutting-edge science that can change your life, in understandable terms and with actionable strategies. Along the way, Arthur and Oprah share hard-earned wisdom from their own lives and careers, as well as the witness of regular people whose lives are joyful despite setbacks and hardship, including that of a professor who spent the last months of his life getting happier even while suffering from a terminal illness, and insights from a woman whose most fulfilling years came after a failed marriage and a career reset at forty-five. In every page, your happiness skills will grow, and you will learn amazing information you can't wait to share with others. Using the tools of emotional self-management, you can take control of your well-being, rather than hoping and waiting for your circumstances to improve. Build the Life You Want is your blueprint for a better life.
