About this listen

 Most of us believe that our happiness depends on the outside world - and that by solving our problems, improving our relationships, or achieving success, we will find contentment. In You Can Be Happy No Matter What, Dr. Richard Carlson shows that happiness has nothing to do with forces beyond our control. His simple and practical guide teaches 5 principles - Thought, Moods, Separate Realities, Feelings, and the Present Moment - for discovering a new mode of living that doesn't repress natural emotions, yet where feelings and thoughts don't overwhelm us. Dr. Carlson is the best selling author of Don't Sweat the Small Stuff.©1997 Richard Carlson (P)2012 New World Library Career Success Employment Motivation & Self-Improvement Personal Development Personal Success Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Happiness Career

I love this book and have listened to it so many times on repeat. There are a number of advices which I adhere to on a daily basis. For example I am more aware of my thoughts playing with my mind. I am less worried and see my life and others in a different light. I know that the author sadly died and it kind of feels that he is speaking from another world. This is an useful and straight talking audio book. I would definitely recommend this.

It changed me completely

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Having lost my husband 7years ago I found happiness elusive. The recognition that we are what we think and only as happy as we choose to be, has been a game changer. To simplify it down as Dr Carlson does has helped me enormously to find inner peace and contentment (most of the time, even through the trials of internet dating and being a single parent). When I remind myself of the advice he gives I can center myself back into a contented state of mind and life is so much easier. Too simple to be true, well it works for me.

It really is that simple.
