Professor of positive psychology Dr. Tim Bono weaves together new research and innovative practical strategies to reveal the science of happiness.
When Professor Timothy Bono created a course on positive psychology, it quickly became one of Washington University's most in-demand classes, with a massive waitlist. His students--burning out from stress, binging on social media, and measuring their self-worth in likes and retweets--were desperate for true happiness.
Now Dr. Bono has distilled his life-changing seminar's lessons into a master class, providing innovative techniques and practical advice scientifically proven to increase happiness in areas such as:
- Attention training and willpower
- Time management
- The mind-body connection
- Gratitude and resilience
- Relationships
- Coping techniques for life's challenges
With groundbreaking research from over 100 studies, real stories from Dr. Bono's students, and simple yet creative tips, Happiness 101 is the perfect guide for your journey to well-being.

“Ultimately, what generates a feeling of well-being, says the author, includes life with other people, managing a bad day well, and developing will power. Bono’s teaching can be distilled to a positive mind-set, and throughout this book, he walks alongside readers to help them develop just that. Verdict: Although geared toward young adults, Bono’s message will benefit older readers as well.”
