In this revised edition, #1 New York Times bestselling author and nationally known stress-management consultant Dr. Richard Carlson reveals a profound breakthrough in human psychology. Most of us believe that our happiness depends on outside circumstances, that by solving our problems, improving our relationships, or achieving success we will find contentment. But Dr. Carlson clearly shows that happiness has nothing to do with forces beyond our control — in fact, he says, it is our natural state. With this simple and practical guide, Dr. Carlson shows us how to be happy now, before we solve our problems. By understanding five principles — Thought, Moods, Separate Realities, Feelings, and the Present Moment — we can discover a new mode of living that doesn't repress natural emotions yet doesn't allow feelings and thoughts to overwhelm us. You Can Be Happy No Matter What is a navigational tool that gently guides readers through life's challenges and restores the joy of living.

      The DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF author, a psychologist, puts his experience to good use again in this comprehensive guide to happiness. The program is anchored by five principles that explain the importance of one's thinking, mood, subjective individuality, emotional feedback patterns, and focus on the present moment. The lesson is relaxing and integrative--a combination of the Buddhist notion of being rather than doing and the brand of psychology that says we have control over our thoughts and interpretations of experience. Veteran audio authors like Carlson know how to create programs that flow ideas into the deepest learning centers of our psyches. This one is an intuitive listening experience that Carlson has organized with great care and balance. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
