Build the Life You Want

The Art and Science of Getting Happier

Arthur C. Brooks and Oprah Winfrey argue that you don't have to wait for life to change to feel happier. You can start by managing your emotions and investing in four pillars: family, friendship, work and faith.

Three big ideas

  1. Happiness has three partsEnjoyment, satisfaction and purpose together make up a happy life.
  2. Notice your emotionsStepping back to observe a feeling gives you a choice about how to respond.
  3. Swap the feeling, not the factsYou can't always change what happens, but you can practise choosing a better emotional response.
