You Can Be Happy No Matter What

Five Principles for Keeping Life in Perspective

By: Richard Carlson

Narrated by: Richard Carlson

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.

Critic reviews

"...Shows us...how to remove the blocks to the awareness of our natural state, happiness." (Gerald Jampolsky, Love is Letting Go of Fear)

"...[Counterbalances] the therapy junkie's tendency to wallow in 'processing' while life's beauty passes them by." ( Yoga Journal)

excellent very practical,

narrator read well, easy to listen,
it helped me understand my thinking feelings and mood.

Focusing on current instead of past or future

I have been a big fan of Richard Carlaon's books. We easlily lost track of our thinking and reminding bad things that occurred or expected. This book can help us to live more lively focusing on the present.

everyone should read it

real life application available if you do what it says. totally worth your time to read or listen

This book is great

A must read

The earlier in life you read this book the better! It should be re-read at the beginning of each year as a re-fresher.
