About this listen
THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • A Next Big Idea Club Must Read • As seen in Oprah, FastCompany, LA Times, Forbes, BigThink, CNBC & more
A life-changing guide to finding true happiness from author Stephanie Harrison, whose revolutionary new approach to well-being has changed the lives of millions around the world.
You feel unworthy, anxious, lonely, lost, insecure, or empty. You wonder, “Isn’t there more to life than this?” and “When will I finally be happy?” And you blame yourself.
But it’s not your fault you feel this way. You have been affected by Old Happy: society’s warped definition of happiness. It has made you believe that, in order to be happy, you need to perfect yourself, work harder and harder, and do everything alone.
Old Happy is making you—and all of us—miserable. It’s time to free yourself and experience the true, lasting joy that you deserve.
In New Happy, happiness expert Stephanie Harrison deftly and compassionately challenges our conventional wisdom, drawing upon hundreds of scientific studies to definitively prove that we are pursuing happiness in all the wrong ways.
Harrison illuminates the path out of Old Happy, showing you the surprisingly simple steps that will bring you joy, purpose, and love—and how these choices ripple out to change the world for the better, too.
Based on ten years of research, and brought to life with beautiful artwork that explains the book’s key concepts, New Happy will teach you how to:
- Accept and love yourself, exactly as you are
- Break free of the pressure to follow a specific path in life
- Experience more love, connection and belonging
- Discover your extraordinary gifts, talents, and strengths
- Tap into your powerful internal motivation and do what matters most to you
- Overcome loneliness and find your unique place in the world
- Make the world a better place, starting right where you are
This isn’t just a book. It’s a transformative journey that will help you understand yourself and how to live your best life. With practical, step-by-step guidance based on the latest science, New Happy’s revolutionary approach to happiness is what you—and our world—have been waiting for.
* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF that contains visual representations of subjects explored in the book.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Story
For most of Hailey Magee’s life, people-pleasing came so naturally to her that she didn’t even have a word for it. When somebody wanted something from her—even a stranger—she gave it, no matter how uncomfortable, exhausted, or resentful she felt inside. People-pleasing, she learned, was a coping mechanism that had kept her physically and emotionally safe in the past, but wreaked havoc on her life in the present—and she was committed to breaking the pattern once and for all.

Story
Our lives are filled with repetitive tasks meant to keep us on track—what we come to know as habits. Over time, these routines (like brushing your teeth or putting on your right sock first) tend to be performed automatically. But when we’re more mindful about these actions—when we focus on the precise way they are performed—they can instead become rituals. Shifting from a “habitual” mindset to a “ritual” mindset can convert ordinary acts from black and white to technicolor.

After years of relentlessly racing up the professional ladder, Jennifer Romolini reached the kind of success many crave: a high-profile, C-suite dream job, a book well-received enough that reporters wanted to know the secrets to her success, and a gig traveling around the country giving speeches on “making it.” She had a handsome and clever husband, a precocious child. But beneath this polished surface was a powder keg of unresolved trauma and chronic overwork. It was all about to blow.

Our current definition of “productivity” is broken. It pushes us to treat busyness as a proxy for useful effort, leading to impossibly lengthy task lists and ceaseless meetings. We’re overwhelmed by all we have to do and on the edge of burnout, left to decide between giving into soul-sapping hustle culture or rejecting ambition altogether. But are these really our only choices?

In You Are the One You’ve Been Waiting For, Dr. Richard Schwartz, the celebrated founder of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, offers a new way—a path toward courageous love that replaces the striving, dependent, and disconnected approach to solving relationship challenges.

Every emotion—even shame, anger, and anxiety—brings us vital information and wisdom. “Too often, we either repress our feelings or let them run wild,” says researcher and educator Karla McLaren. “What many of us were never taught are the fundamental skills for honoring and understanding our profound, powerful emotions.” In this new edition of The Language of Emotions, McLaren takes us much deeper than naming or managing our feelings—she teaches us to listen to the messages within each emotion, reflect on their questions, and incorporate their wisdom into our lives.

Languishing—the state of mental weariness that erodes our self-esteem, motivation, and sense of meaning—can be easy to brush off as the new normal, especially since indifference is one of its symptoms. It’s not a synonym for depression and its attendant state of prolonged sadness. Languishers are more likely to feel out of control of their lives, uncertain about what they want from the future, and paralyzed when faced with decisions.

For most of Hailey Magee’s life, people-pleasing came so naturally to her that she didn’t even have a word for it. When somebody wanted something from her—even a stranger—she gave it, no matter how uncomfortable, exhausted, or resentful she felt inside. People-pleasing, she learned, was a coping mechanism that had kept her physically and emotionally safe in the past, but wreaked havoc on her life in the present—and she was committed to breaking the pattern once and for all.

Highly recommend this book for everyone!
Wonderful read! Very motivating and moving. I loved hearing all the stories of normal people harnessing their gifts to make an impact on the world around them, big or small!

Its basically a long high school commencement speech
The first parts of the book fall into the same tropes of most self help books: the author tells of their life struggles and figures out what everyone gets wrong about happiness, and that this book contains the “secret” to “lasting happiness” if you just keep reading. The nature of this pitch is classic predatory self-help that exploits people who are struggling and unhappy and promises that the author’s wisdom will fix not only their mood and struggles, but also all of the world’s problems. It adopts vocabulary (such as “your true self” and “your potential”) and tactics that imply that however you are now is either incorrect or not good enough, while at the same time criticizing culture for doing the same. It is sprinkled with quotes and brief anecdotes from notable people, though the majority seem like they were just found via google or a ‘famous quotes’ website, rather than actually connecting with their full original context. In this way, it comes across as an extended TEDx Talk or high school commencement speech.
The latter part of the book is more helpful and inspired, and inspiring - and lays out what the book is really about: you will (probably) be happier if you utilize your skills to help others and build community. But honestly thats all you really need to know. The book is basically that unoriginal message, but repackaged and extended out into a book so the author and the publisher have something to sell you.
However, most of the examples given portray people in already privileged positions becoming happier after they reorganize their career or efforts around service. There’s an obvious dissatisfaction and critique of Capitalism without directly calling it out, perhaps because it is sometimes painfully contradictory to the exploitative nature of the self-help publishing industry. More directly the criticism is of individualist culture, though in my mind the issues stem from capitalism and I think there is a faulty logic present in the book: that individual private actions, many NGO’s, and “conscious” corporations will save the world from the inherent problems of capitalism. Most of the examples in the book portray people of privilege becoming happier through doing work that serves their community. Unfortunately, many people don’t have the resources, time, or abilities to undertake such efforts and books like this might leave them feeling frustrated or unseen. The concluding example in the book is a parable of a King, literally the most privileged person in the land, finding the secret to happiness by focusing on the present moment and helping another person, which he learned from a “hermit”. This choice seems tone deaf and baffling to me, especially in light of many efforts by the author to make the book inclusive and mindful of social justice efforts. It seems the book’s intended audience is people of middle-class income or higher who are dissatisfied with their careers, or people who have already made lots of money and accomplishments but find their privileged lifestyle empty and meaningless. I hope those people read this book and choose to do good in the world, stop supporting greedy corporations, and vote and lobby to enact policies that will actually improve safety, health and quality of life for everyone.
However, if you are unhappy, depressed, feeling despair or hopelessness, and looking for a quick read that might give you the “secret” to “lasting happiness”, I would say this book is not for you. Yes, helping others with your skills, connecting with community, and willfully being of service will contribute to happiness, but you can also speak regularly with the therapist, be more physically active (exercise is medicine), strive to maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet, and do what you can to get 7-9 hours of good sleep every night. Unfortunately contemporary society makes these more difficult than they should be for everyone but the most privileged. Finding tools and a community or communities to help make those changes in your life is very helpful. This book might aid somewhat towards that direction, but it is not a singular solution, and it is not a new concept.

Pérdida de tiempo
No vale la pena perder mi tiempo con la opinión desinformada de un psicóloga sobre economía.
