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.

For many people, a good life is a stable life, a comfortable life that follows a well-trodden path. This is the case for Shigehiro Oishi's father, who has lived in a small mountain town in Japan for his entire life, putting his family's needs above his own, like his father and grandfather before him. But is a happy life, or even a meaningful life, the only path to a good life? In Life in Three Dimensions, Shige Oishi enters into a debate that has animated psychology since 1984, when Ed Diener (Oishi's mentor) published a paper that launched happiness studies.

In Joel's Schwartzberg's 10-plus years as a strategic communications trainer, the biggest obstacle he's come across - one that connects directly to nervousness, stammering, rambling, and epic fail - is that most speakers and writers don't have a point. They typically have just a title, a theme, a topic, an idea, an assertion, a catchphrase, or even something much less. This book shows you how to identify your point, leverage it, stick to it, and sell it and how to train others to identify and successfully make their own points.

So many of us feel lonely, unfulfilled, or trapped—in our roles and relationships, in cycles of self-sabotage and bad decisions, by our patterns and misguided attempts to feel happy or to feel something. According to existential psychotherapist Sara Kuburic, it doesn’t have to be so difficult. Really. The answer is found in facing ourselves—whatever version that might be, regardless of whether we like the person we see reflected back to us. It’s about accepting full responsibility for the choices and actions that create our reality.

Successful people confront well. They know that setting healthy boundaries improves relationships and can solve important problems. They have discovered that uncomfortable situations can be avoided or resolved through direct conversation. But most of us don't know how to have difficult conversations, and we see confrontation as scary or adversarial. Authors Henry Cloud and John Townsend take the principles from their award-winning and best-selling book, Boundaries, and apply them to a variety of the most common difficult situations and relationships.

But the microbiome—a community of bacteria, viruses, and yeasts that dwell in the body—has long been something that the average person can find baffling—and maybe a little bit gross.

Have you been too nice for too long? Have you tried to speak up for yourself, have better boundaries, or take care of your own needs, only to feel anxious, stuck, or guilty? The unfortunate truth is people-pleasing and excessive niceness are debilitating patterns that most people never truly change. They remain in this “cage of niceness” until their final days, when they experience a strong sense of regret for living a life that wasn’t truly their own.

Over the last fifty years, women have made extraordinary advances in athletics. More women than ever are playing sports and staying active longer. Whether they’re elite athletes looking for an edge or enthusiastic amateurs, women deserve a culture of sports that helps them thrive: training programs and equipment designed to work with their bodies, as well as guidelines for nutrition and injury prevention that are based in science and tailored to their lived experience. Yet too often the guidance women receive is based on research that fails to consider their experiences or their bodies.

Whether they’re elite athletes looking for an edge or enthusiastic amateurs, women deserve a culture of sports that helps them thrive: training programs and equipment designed to work with their bodies, as well as guidelines for nutrition and injury prevention that are based in science and tailored to their lived experience. Yet too often the guidance women receive is based on research that fails to consider their experiences or their bodies.

What makes a good life? The question is inherent to the human condition, asked by people across generations, professions, and social classes, and addressed by all schools of philosophy and religions. This search for meaning, as Yale faculty Miroslav Volf, Matthew Croasmun, and Ryan McAnnally-Linz argue, is at the crux of a crisis that is facing Western culture, a crisis that, they propose, can be ameliorated by searching, in one’s own life, for the underlying truth.

Jim VandeHei’s high school guidance counselor laid it out clearly: VandeHei wasn’t cut out for college. In 1990, you could find him proving the counselor’s case emphatically, preferring beer to books and delivering pizzas to mapping out career plans. He attended a two-year school before smuggling himself into the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, where after a year he had racked up a 1.4 GPA and was on the verge of getting the boot.

Do you know anyone who's truly living The Good Life? Traditionally, philosophers and psychologists have thought of the Good Life in terms of happiness or meaning, or some combination of both. But, if it’s really that simple, if all you need is more happiness or meaning to get to the Good Life, why aren’t more of us achieving that truly “good” life? You’ve hit all the traditional markers, jumped on the happiness train, committed to a gratitude practice, sought purpose in your work, and yet The Good Life you’re seeking, is still out of reach.

Everyone has a sensitive side, but nearly one in three people have the genes to be more sensitive than others—both physically and emotionally. These are the people who pause before speaking and think before acting; they tune in to subtle details and make connections that others miss. Whether introverted or extroverted, they tend to be bighearted, creative, and wired to go deep, yet society tells them to hide the very sensitivity that makes them this way. These are the world’s “highly sensitive people,” and Sensitive is the book that champions them.

A Must Read
Stephanie Harrison has researched happiness from all perspectives including a significant amount of peer-reviewed, high impact factor studies to back up her New Happy Theory. It suggests that the old view of happiness actually results in a perpetual cycle of unhappiness; and how to incorporate New Happy views to break the cycle and re-evaluate values on an individual, local, national, and global basis.

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.
