Brimming with wisdom and wit, this illustrated and updated edition of The 7 Secrets of Happiness features new research, anecdotes and stories from national treasure and advocate for joy, Gyles Brandreth.
ILLUSTRATED EDITION - UPDATED FOR MAXIMUM HAPPINESS!
Ten years on, Gyles Brandreth has learnt yet more about happiness... featuring a new introduction and charming illustrations, this little book attempts to answer a big question: How can we be happy?
'Marvellous, brilliant, wonderful, best thing I've ever heard, transformational...'
That was the response from a total stranger when Gyles Brandreth delivered the Happiness Lecture at Birmingham University. Someone else in the thousand-strong audience tweeted: 'The 7 Secrets of Happiness are amazing. Thank you Gyles Brandreth, wherever you are.'
Well, Gyles Brandreth is here now with those 7 Secrets of Happiness. The secrets are simple rules, easy to remember, but challenging to achieve. Gyles Brandreth found them when he set out on a journey looking for happiness and ended up in the psychiatrist's chair - with Dr Anthony Clare.
What is happiness? Who gets to be happy? And how?
These are the big questions that Gyles Brandreth aims to answer in this little book. Research shows that happy people live up to ten years longer than unhappy people. This is a book that won't simply enhance your life: it will extend it.
