Publisher's summary

2009 Audie Award Finalist for Personal Development

What would it take to make you happy? A fulfilling career, a big bank account, or the perfect mate? What if it didn't take anything to make you happy? What if you could experience happiness from the inside out: no matter what's going on in your life?

Studies show that each of us has a happiness set-point: a fixed range of happiness we tend to return to throughout our life that's approximately 50-percent genetic and 50-percent learned. In the same way you'd crank up the thermostat to get comfortable on a chilly day, you can actually reprogram your happiness set-point to a higher level of peace and well-being. This life-changing program shows you how!

In Happy for No Reason, transformational expert and best-selling author Marci Shimoff reveals a remarkable program, incorporating the latest findings in positive psychology, moving real-life stories and powerful tools and techniques that will raise your happiness set-point and enable you to experience more unconditional happiness in your life: starting today.

Great Job!

If this is the kind of thing you are into (self improvement) then this is a good book for you. I just finished it and am excited about what I learned from it. I am also even more inspired to start acting on some things i have been putting off.

So Rich!

This book got me out of my own head and away from all the things that I had learned that were incorrect when it comes to my happiness and the happiness I help others feel. I can’t wait to read again. The exercises in the pdf are awesome!

Grateful For Every Reason

So blessed by the words shared here. I walked on the beach listening to this book: again. I’ve read it before and am so glad I also purchased the audible version. Heart softened. Hope renewed. Thank you. ❤️

Everyone must read this

This book is awesome. I loved everything she had to say. I want to go out and buy a copy for every person I know so that I can be surrounded by "happy for no reason" people. She gives you actual things to try with quantifiable results. I just got the book 2 weeks ago and I'm still trying to implement the things she presents into my daily life, and I will continue to do so. It's that good.

Wonderful!

Any additional comments?

I listened to 7 Habits, Better than before and Change Friendly leadership. This was my favorite! But they all work together so well!

Fantastic

This book is a spectacular compilation of tools and ideas. While all of them are truly wonderful and valuable you also have the opportunity to further build upon the ones that call to you. Awesome information with personal touches and a multitude of various personal stories sprinkled throughout.
