Thank you for sharing this book with me.
I appreciate the opportunity to read Beyond Happiness and share it with my followers.
There are fantastic takeaways in Beyond Happiness which I am happy to say are easy to remember with the goal of applying them to my days.
A primary one for me was - don’t assume- I can think I am a mind reader and thus make incorrect interpretations- Guttman’s book reminds me not to do this!
Another huge takeaway for me personally was taking a close look at people pleasing habits I have. There is so much more in this book and what others glean from this may differ from mine but all is beneficial and an affordable form of self-help!! I’m thankful Jennifer is on Instagram as I follow her for reminders on what I learned.
Beyond Happiness posits that happiness is nice but ultimately setting us up for sadness if we expect that life can ever be all happiness all the time. Instead, the author argues that contentment is the ticket-a sustainable, and achievable, goal which can take you on a far more meaningful and rewarding journey. This was an interesting read for anyone who wants to learn more about the science behind happiness, and why focusing on this as a goal is not enough to live the life of your dreams.
