The Happiness Animal

The Happiness Animal, the first dedicated exercise guide to happiness, explains the psychology of what strengthens people's spirit —and how to apply these understandings to be happy. Will Jelbert has pulled together the most practical expertise in the rapidly expanding field of applied positive psychology. This is complemented and juxtaposed with the narrative of the trials of his own personal experiences of unhappiness and how he was able to use the book's exercises to strengthen his spirit and find happiness again. You'll learn the five universal muscles, how to exercise them—and how to defend yourself against the happiness traps. Perfect for people in all walks of life, the principles of The Happiness Animal will move you toward profound personal change and act as a driving force for your happiness.

Reviews: Danny Lawrence, BBC:
‘Will has an incredible ability to say things that are logical and obvious, although without somebody pointing them out in the clear way he has done, most of us don't ever think them. He identifies the power of awareness, but before I read his book I was not even aware of many of my own thoughts’'

Sadie Oliver, LIFE magazine:
‘Will has captured an immense understanding of the inner workings of society's struggle to find happiness with a whole hearted and honest truth. The exercises explained are an excellent route back to the inner being of happiness. A must read for everyone!’

Lucy Proud, the art of being:
'Will writes with honesty, authenticity and animation that allows the words on each page to come alive and live within the reader'

Jelbert organizes the 25 happiness exercises by the five muscles that direct and strengthen human happiness: honesty, kindness, tolerance (including curiosity), awareness, and courage.
