As a GP he became increasingly interested in the psychological aspects of health and wellbeing, which led to a total career change. He now works in two different, yet complementary roles, as a therapist and a coach.
Happiness, according to the author, is defined as a rich, full and meaningful life with the full range of human emotions felt to varying degrees. From this standpoint there is a real opportunity to embrace concepts discussed by Harris, shut out some of the noise from advertisers and social media, and focus on the aspects of our existence that bring real human emotions, both positive and negative, that create the basis of happiness. Dr Russ Harris also has a series of YouTube clips that complement the book's teachings. They are well worth checking out.
The temporary nature of happiness is an evolutionary design. Humans would have died out if our ancestors were constantly happy because they would have missed the dangers and forgotten to care for others in pain.When we fail to savor the fleeting moments of joy, and ignore them in the hope of eternal happiness, we set ourselves up for disappointment.Another widely held misconception about happiness is that it is all about smiling, laughing, and having a good time.That flawed notion of happiness is the doing of advertisements, social media, and consumer culture. They created and perpetuated it, and we fell for it hook, line, and sinker.
Sadly, that narrow idea of happiness actually imprisons us in feelings of failure.When we are unable to attain the happiness that others have, by buying stuff, faking smiles, and forcing ourselves to look joyful, we feel frustrated.Actually, happiness is not something that we can force to come to us or can obtain through material possessions. 2b1af7f3a8
