The TRUE Happiness Recipe (Unabridged‪)‬

At last, an audiobook that takes the guesswork out of being happy. Just follow the recipes!

Author Will Marré has spent a long, successful career training people how to be happy in life and productive at work. This small book is packed with the same practical wisdom and action tips he brought to the employees of Gap, the giant global retailer. It is based on the new discoveries of brain science, nutrition, and positive psychology that Marré translates into 8 simple, practical habits we can all adopt to start feeling radically happier. Today.

Why are we unhappy? The main culprit is stress. Job stress. Our jobs are quite literally killing us. Stress creates cortisol, which attacks our bodies and affects our mood, judgment, and energy level. Though we may not be able to remove the stress from the job, we can change the way we approach our working life. By taking responsibility for our own happiness.

That means controlling two things: our body chemistry and our behavior. And that’s why the book offers two kinds of recipes: action recipes that lead to immediate and long-term behavior changes, and food recipes that support the chemistry of happiness. The two kinds of recipes work in perfect tandem to put the reins of happiness back into our own hands.

Will’s 8 Happiness Recipes are designed to build life-enhancing new habits, from the beginning of the day till the end, so that we can create TRUE happiness at home and on the job. The delicious food recipes are designed to keep our energy and optimism high and our bodies clean and vital, from breakfast till bedtime, so that we can rise above the toxicity that often surrounds us.

Follow the recipes and become happy. It really is that simple.
