Ordinary Happiness. How to Find Your Source of Joy When Nothing Makes You Happy
What distinguishes a happy person from one who is tormented by life and beaten by fate? The unhappy one often thinks about what they would like: more money, a slimmer waist, a higher status, fewer tasks. The happy one knows...
how to appreciate everyday life — the most ordinary one, with all its problems and small joys. It's not about the number of misfortunes that heartless Fortune has decided to throw at a person; it's about how the brain works and our evolution.
Author Catherine Gray has emerged from the abyss of alcohol dependence, suicidal thoughts, and has learned to find joy in the most ordinary of everyday life. Now she knows how to fully enjoy life, here and now, without additional conditions and stimulants.
For those who have felt down, depressed, lost the taste for life, or demand unimaginable achievements from themselves, she wrote this book.
And it contains very good news: - there are an infinite number of sources of joy in the world; - everyone can discover them; - the ability to be content with what you have and who you are provides huge advantages; - a state of happiness can become your baseline; - it is not life or fate that disappoints you, but your own brain, and this is fixable.
«I am not an example, not a role model, and not a self-help guru. I am merely a once confused person who is enthusiastic about psychology and neurobiology, bombards experts with questions, deeply immerses in hundreds of academic studies, tries different things and shares what I've learned». — Catherine Gray
