Product Description:
What would it take to make you happy? A fulfilling career, a big bank account, or the perfect mate? What if it didn't take anything to make you happy? What if you could experience happiness from the inside out -- no matter what's going on in your life?
In Happy for No Reason: 7 Steps to Being Happy from the Inside Out, transformational expert Marci Shimoff offers a breakthrough approach to being happy, one that doesn't depend on achievements, goals, money, relationships, or anything else 'out there.' Most books on happiness tell you to find the things that make you happy and do more of them. Although there's nothing wrong with that, it won't bring you the kind of deep and lasting happiness most people long for -- the kind you'll never lose, no matter what happens in your life. Based on cutting-edge research and knowledge from the world's leading experts in the fields of positive psychology and neurophysiology, plus interviews with 100 truly happy people, this life-changing book provides a powerful, proven 7-step program that will enable you to be happier right now -- no matter where you start.
Studies show that each of us has a 'happiness setpoint' -- a fixed range of happiness we tend to return to throughout our life -- that's approximately 50 percent genetic and 50 percent learned. In the same way you'd crank up the thermostat to get comfortable on a chilly day, you can actually raise your happiness set-point! The holistic 7-step program at the heart of Happy for No Reason encompasses Happiness Habits for all areas of life: personal power, mind, heart, body, soul, purpose, and relationships.
In these pages you'll discover moving and remarkable first-person stories of people who have applied these steps to their own lives and have become Happy for No Reason. You'll read phenomenal tales from a former drug dealer turned minister, a hit filmmaker, and a famous actress who escaped a 'family curse,' as well as stories from doctors, mothers, teachers, and business executives. You'll learn practical strategies that will help you experience happiness from the inside out.
You don't have to have happy genes, win the lottery, or lose twenty pounds. By the time you finish this book, you will know how to experience sustained happiness for the rest of your life.

I had seen the video "Secrets" before I read this book, hoping to find a written reference for most of the material in "Secrets". While the book starts out pretty good, and definitely has some good material in it for increasing your level of happiness, it starts to fall on lame, Pollyannish ideas from the middle of the book and beyond.
Most of the last half of the book contains a lot of "give into a higher power" pap, which requires a lot of mindlessness. I guess if you become mindless, ... Read More

I got this for my sweetheart because she was a bit down. She saw that it I meant well by it but has not read it probably because the last thing you want to do when your depressed is see that other people have noticed it too. If I ever get the chance to read it I'll let you know.

'Happy for no reason' has to be the best motivational/self help book i have read in ages. Besides 'Feel the fear and do it anyway' by Susan Jeffers, Marci Shimoff get's right to the point. Happiness comes from within. I like a lot of people i know have never looked at happiness in this way.
I asked a friend if they were truly happy and they gave the answer i expected, "Yes I'm happy because i have.........." It's the same with work collegues.
People are living unhappy lives and masking ... Read More
