Author Description

The forerunner of the positive cognitive psychology method, Dr. Inon Haiman examines how we define and achieve lasting happiness through the multiple stages of our lives. Can we hardwire our brains to be happy regardless of where we are in life? According to esteemed cognitive psychologist Dr. Inon Haiman, happiness is not a consistent goal. Just like our brains, true happiness changes and evolves throughout our lives, and the secret to capturing it lies in understanding how they work—and how they intertwine. In his fifth book, Dr. Haiman reveals the deep connection between our neurobiology and our collective quest for happiness and offers effective, practical techniques to experience happiness, prosperity, and success at any age. From approaches and methods for raising happy children and coping with internal and external challenges to the fascinating subject of successful, healthy, and happy aging, Dr. Haiman tackles the vital questions necessary to achieve a lifetime of happiness: Did we evolve to be inherently unhappy creatures? What is bio-subjective reality, and what does it mean for our happiness? Can happiness delay brain degradation? Why do so many of us experience irrational fears as life-threatening dangers? What does happiness have to do with reading body language? What are the precursors to healthy and long relationships, and why do so many individuals cheat on their partners to get happier? Is there a way to identify toxic or dependent relationships and avoid them? By understanding the relationship between our brains and our needs, Dr. Haiman shows us how to take control of our lives and become our best selves – and the path to a lifetime of happiness.
