Story
By the time she was in her late 20s, Tara Schuster was a rising TV executive who had worked for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and helped launch Key & Peele to viral superstardom. By all appearances, she had mastered being a grown-up. But beneath that veneer of success, she was a chronically anxious, self-medicating mess. No one knew that her road to adulthood had been paved with depression, anxiety, and shame. Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies is the story of Tara’s path to re-parenting herself and becoming a "ninja of self-love".

Story
Our most commonly held formula for success is broken. Conventional wisdom holds that if we work hard we will be more successful, and if we are more successful, then we'll be happy. If we can just find that great job, win that next promotion, lose those five pounds, happiness will follow. But recent discoveries in the field of positive psychology have shown that this formula is actually backward; happiness fuels success, not the other way around.

Story
The enthusiasm for and expectation of happiness are so widespread today that fundamental questions about it are often overlooked. For starters, the most basic question of all: where does happiness come from? Is it your brain - a mere concoction of chemicals or network of neurons? Is it in fact your gut? (Spoiler alert: yes. Sort of) Or is it external? Is it love or sex or money or success? And what are these doing to our brains anyway? In The Happy Brain, Neuroscientist Dean Burnett delves into our most private selves to investigate what causes happiness.

Nobody needs telling that there isn't enough time.

Yet we rarely make the conscious connection that these problems only trouble us in the first place, thanks to the ultimate time-management problem: the challenge of how best to use our 4,000 weeks. Four Thousand Weeks is an uplifting, engrossing and deeply realistic exploration of this problem.

Brilliant audiobook
I have long been a fan of Richard Nicholls. The methods given in the book really do help if you are willing to work towards it!
Narration is well delivered much like the podcasts!
I couldn’t recommend this book more to anyone looking to improve their outlook on life or people looking to address mental health issues.
Richard really has given me lots of ways of dealing with things in life and shown me a far better way of looking at life.
Thank you!

A great book to build happiness
Hello, I wanted to give a quick review, I never heard of this guy, but I love his style as his cheeky voice always put a smile to my face, puts me in a great mood which is what you want, I discovered his website beforehand, which he does daily podcasts, which I really enjoyed...listening too.
I found the daily exercises in this audio very helpful and I highly recommend buying the book, to help increase your happiness today, so look forward to a new you.
I look forward to hearing more podcasts in the near future..thanks again Richard. He certainly puts the word fun into his work, which was something I was missing,

really really enjoyed this book. Richards voice was engaging and nice to listen to. it was light hearted and to the point and made loads of sense. I dont think you need to feel glum to choose to read this. I think everyone would benefit from letting their ears hear these words. great journal suggestions that I'm defo going to use and loads of food for thought. it will be a book I will listen to several times and hear something different every time. highly recommended :)
