Every year, Americans spend more than $10 billion on self-help products. Psychologist and philosophers agree, however, that self-help makes critical mistakes and is incapable of creating happiness, success, and fulfillment. Stop Chasing Carrots communicates these mistakes as examples of the misconceptions about happiness and develops a philosophy of life that can achieve better results. Stop Chasing Carrots is the first book that creates a philosophy of life based on scientific evidence. Replacing self-help materialism, Eastern spiritualism/minimalism, and insightful but too complex psychological studies with an accessible, balanced, and realistic concept, Stop Chasing Carrots enables its readers to lead lives based on proven ideas.
