Publisher Description

Why are some people able to find happiness despite disappointments, financial hardships, and even physical disabilities? Therapist Barry Neil Kaufman's life-changing discovery is that people who are most successful at finding happiness share certain traits, beliefs, and attitudes. Happiness Is a Choice reveals these keys to happiness and shows you how to use them. Kaufman shows how to let go of judgments, worries, and regrets; how gratitude and openness can transform our relationships; and how authentic happiness arises from taking responsibility for our responses to people and situations.

"I read this book about once a year. It challenges my ultra-rational side to consider how I go about my life and my desire for both truth and happiness. It shakes me up & that's the main reason I re-read. Oh, that and the usual self-absorbed state we humans embody... :) "

    " Yes a self help, but so vital to our psyche. It was nice to have read this book to deal with some of the ups and downs of teenage childrens blues. Helpful to be able to quote a saying or suggest a chapter or even to help me open up to new ideas and possibilites. I love having a copy on hand. "

    " Bought this book for really cheap at Friends of Williams Library booksale(re-opening, Nov. 7th!), mainly because I liked the title, and to remind me. A good basic reminder that we are in control of our attitudes and can choose how to look at life. "

    " This book is packed full of wonderful advice and just a love of human nature. One of the quotations I read everyday now from this book is, "We. . .express anger toward lovers to induce them to change, all of which leads usually to resistance rather than compliance." "

    " It was not so much the writing that made this book a great experience, but having my private beliefs vociferously defended publicly without having to engage myself. "
