Most of us believe that our happiness depends on the outside world - and that by solving our problems, improving our relationships, or achieving success, we will find contentment. In You Can Be Happy No Matter What, Dr. Richard Carlson shows that happiness has nothing to do with forces beyond our control. His simple and practical guide teaches 5 principles - Thought, Moods, Separate Realities, Feelings, and the Present Moment - for discovering a new mode of living that doesn't repress natural emotions, yet where feelings and thoughts don't overwhelm us.

Dr. Carlson is the best-selling author of Don't Sweat the Small Stuff.

I have been a big fan of Richard Carlaon's books. We easlily lost track of our thinking and reminding bad things that occurred or expected. This book can help us to live more lively focusing on the present.

Focusing on current instead of past or future

While I found it easy to drift mentally at several points while the narrator spoke, the content is extremely eye opening. Perhaps the fact that I became distracted a few times ( the context gets deep) is precisely why this book was so helpful for me- learning to control your thought pattern from slipping into negative thoughts. I will listen one more time because I think it's worth going over again!

Wordy but enlightening

Book was fantastic and provides very valuable information that could be a life changer if you apply the tools provided. The narrator sounds a bit mechanical - versus natural conversation.

The earlier in life you read this book the better! It should be re-read at the beginning of each year as a re-fresher.

Turns traditional psychology therapy methods on its head. Why focus on all your problems, resentments or roadblocks. Doing so only invites more despair. With contentment as our goal, we can learn to feel peace in the present moment by ignoring our disturbing thoughts. A thought isnt reality- and we need to stop letting them predict our moods and hence behaviors. Freedom from mental suffering is within everyone’s reach,

A unique approach
