Free Happiness: The art and science of positivity

"Thank you for this beautiful girl, who looks after everybody. We've all got to play our part in protecting the world, we need to work as one." Sir Richard Branson

You can learn to be happier. The aim isn't to be perfect, it's to be authentic.

First thing's first - we all want to be happy. Secondly, nobody has it all sorted. Thirdly, that's okay. This book will inspire you to be the happiest you can be, whatever comes your way.

Backed by science, Free Happiness will give you practical tools you can use and personal stories to relate to. This book is for anyone wanting to be their best and help others do the same. No matter who or where you are, or what you do, you can influence yourself and those around you in amazing ways. We all have a part to play in the world's happiness.

Dr Vikki Barnes uses positive psychology to teach a life lesson that is perhaps the most important of all: what it means to be human and how to live a good and full life. You'll explore what matters to you, learn great things about yourself and feel energised to make lasting positive changes starting today.

It's not about the number of days you're here, but about living the time you have with everything you have. Open up to every experience and know that something wonderful can happen, if you let it.

You've been given one life to do all the things you'd like to do and be all the things you'd like to be. Go do and go be ... happy.

Dr Vikki Barnes is an organisational and clinical psychologist specialising in positive psychology, wellbeing and happiness. She's an international speaker, author, humanitarian, nature lover and explorer.
