Publisher's summary
The purpose of this book is to help myself and others move from hypercritical thinking to happiness. We will start with an understanding of what hypercritical thinking is. As we apply these concepts, we will not only suffer less in our lives from being hypercritical, we will discover the benefits of being happier. Definitions of happiness from multiple sources will be included, as will my own attempt to define happiness. I will discuss concepts like destiny, calling, character, fate, genius, soul, and spirit and their connection to happiness. I will explain that being happy is an unattainable goal, whereas being happier is more realistic. Convincing evidence will be presented that hypercritical thinking will diminish intelligence. We are warned that hypercritical knowledge may be poisonous to us, whereas other information we gather will increase intelligence. Post-traumatic growth and how we can turn our traumas into transformations are explained. I will discuss how living life with more blessings than hypercritical thinking will improve our lives. A ratio of at least three times more-positive-than-negative perceptions and statements is supported in multiple areas of our lives. Champions of both hypercritical thinking and happiness will be explored. A pathway from hedonistic pleasures to pleasures that support one's destiny will be discussed. I will use the myth of Psyche as a guide to us in therapeutic work that we are currently involved in or have done in the past.

For years Brian Weiss, M.D. has focused on leading his patients into the past, yet some of them experienced spontaneous pre-cognitive moments. When developing regression into past lives, one man went forward into the future rather than backward. He entered into an idyllic future life - a passage which helped him emotionally. At that moment, Dr. Weiss recognized that past, present, and future are one. What happens in the future can affect the present, just as the past also influences it.

Story
The relentless pursuit of high self-esteem has become a virtual religion - and a tyrannical one at that. Our ultracompetitive culture tells us we need to be constantly above average to feel good about ourselves, but there is always someone more attractive, successful, or intelligent than we are. And even when we do manage to grab hold of high self-esteem for a brief moment, we can't seem to keep it. Our sense of self-worth goes up and down like a ping-pong ball, rising and falling in lockstep with our latest success or failure.

The inner critic might feel overpowering, but it can be managed effectively. Meditation teacher and therapist Mark Coleman helps listeners understand and free themselves from the inner critic using the tools of mindfulness and compassion.

Ubuntu is a Xhosa word originating from a South African philosophy that encapsulates all our aspirations about how to live life well, together. It is the belief in a universal human bond: I am only because you are. And it means that if you are able to see everyone as fully human, connected to you by their humanity, you will never be able to treat others as disposable or without worth. By embracing the philosophy of ubuntu and living it out in daily life it’s possible to overcome division and be stronger together in a world where the wise build bridges, not walls.

Every moment, then, is an opportunity to make a choice that will bring us greater happiness. Ben- Shahar presents 100 such opportunities, some simple, such as whether to frown or smile; others complex....

As Dr. Cloud unpacks these universal, eternal principles, he reveals that true happiness is not about circumstances, physical health, financial success, or even about the people in our lives. In other words, it’s not about the factors that are frequently beyond our control.

Story
Ubuntu is a Xhosa word originating from a South African philosophy that encapsulates all our aspirations about how to live life well, together. It is the belief in a universal human bond: I am only because you are. And it means that if you are able to see everyone as fully human, connected to you by their humanity, you will never be able to treat others as disposable or without worth. By embracing the philosophy of ubuntu and living it out in daily life it’s possible to overcome division and be stronger together in a world where the wise build bridges, not walls.

Great collection of other’s advice
Mr West has written a book on increasing happiness by primarily referencing work and studies done by other people, organizations, and groups. He offers some of his own anecdotes along the way which offered some perspective but I was hoping for more instruction versus mostly being referred to further reading elsewhere. Was also distracted by some of the religious undertones but ultimately found this purchase to be worth it.
