Finding happiness in the chaos is one of the hardest things you can do. It's also one of the most important.

Covid, financial insecurity, political division, social unrest, gun violence, climate fears--they've created a chaotic reality that we will be dealing with for years to come. Even long after some of these challenges start to lose their headlines and prime-time news slots, they will continue to occupy space in our minds, keeping us anxious, depressed, and angry, and ultimately keeping us from becoming our happiest selves.

But maybe it doesn't have to be that way.

Chaotic Happiness challenges the notion that we can only work on finding happiness once we've resolved all of the negative events in our lives. In it, licensed therapist and TikTok counselor T.J. Hoegh outlines the Three Rules of Chaotic Happiness:

- Find yourself in every situation
- Find courage in every relationship, and
- Find potential in every plan

With a combination of advice and exercises, you'll discover your "why" and gain awareness of what's keeping you from it. You'll learn how the quality of your interactions with others impact your relationships. You'll discover how to view time and attention as the investments needed to grow the pursuits and relationships that will help you arrive at your happiest self.

To the point and immediately applicable.

Concepts are broken down into digestible chunks and paired with easy to do exercises. Lots to think about and even more that is actionable.
