Publisher's Summary

Most of us believe that our happiness depends on the outside world - and that by solving our problems, improving our relationships, or achieving success, we will find contentment. In You Can Be Happy No Matter What, Dr. Richard Carlson shows that happiness has nothing to do with forces beyond our control. His simple and practical guide teaches 5 principles - Thought, Moods, Separate Realities, Feelings, and the Present Moment - for discovering a new mode of living that doesn't repress natural emotions, yet where feelings and thoughts don't overwhelm us.

Dr. Carlson is the best-selling author of Don't Sweat the Small Stuff.

"...Shows us...how to remove the blocks to the awareness of our natural state, happiness." (Gerald Jampolsky, Love is Letting Go of Fear)
"...[Counterbalances] the therapy junkie's tendency to wallow in 'processing' while life's beauty passes them by." ( Yoga Journal)

Cutting edge ideas

I’ve long had Colson’s bathroom books...don’t sweat the small stuff etc.....but I did not know he was what I would call a sleeper...While this is not a new book ...it’s been out a while ...And Colson has now passed on ....the ideas in this book are-new thinking cutting edge and simply brilliant. I’ve read a lot of self-help, psychology over the years ...Trained in counselling and participated in many retreats ...this book is a keeper these ideas are simple and true. Highly recommended. 5 star.
