An Introduction to Happiness: Discover the Small Habits that Can Change Your Life, One Day at a Time
Autor Tim Bonoen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 sep 2019
When a group of researchers asked young adults around the globe what their number one priority was in life, the top answer was "happiness." Not success, fame, money, looks, or love...but happiness. For a rising generation of young adults raised as digital natives in a fast-paced, ultra-connected world, authentic happiness still seems just out of reach. While social media often shows well-lit selfies and flawless digital personas, today's 16- to 25-year-olds are struggling to find real meaning, connection, and satisfaction right alongside their overburdened parents.

read
that

This
should
be
required
reading
not
only
for

professionals,
but
for
anyone
who
is
interested
in
adopting
healthier
habits
in

own
lives.
A
must
read!"
