The Book of Happiness is a condensed version of the 2010 bestseller Eight Steps to Happiness, the companion volume to the ABC television series, Making Australia Happy.
Dr Tony Grant and Alison Leigh bring us the latest findings of happiness research – and show that happiness is within our grasp and how we can achieve it. While genetics and life circumstances play a significant role in happiness levels, 40 per cent is within an individual's personal control. You can't change the cards you were dealt in life, but you can change how you deal with them.
