About this listen

 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.©1997 Richard Carlson (P)2012 New World Library Career Success Employment Motivation & Self-Improvement Personal Development Personal Success Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Happiness Career

I love this book and have listened to it so many times on repeat. There are a number of advices which I adhere to on a daily basis. For example I am more aware of my thoughts playing with my mind. I am less worried and see my life and others in a different light. I know that the author sadly died and it kind of feels that he is speaking from another world. This is an useful and straight talking audio book. I would definitely recommend this.

It changed me completely

This book and his other, Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff has given me a firm strong foundation to build a healthier mindset.
Peace and Serenity are my main goals in life, I now have a clear understanding of how to achieve and maintain that goal.
I wish I could tell him this.
RIP Richard 🤍

I listened to the whole book then been listening to 10 mins every morning since just to remind myself of what is in my control. I have been finding elements of my life challenging. Nothing has changed but my outlook. I have the ability to find calm. I’m not fixed but much more in control. This really helps and works. If you are stuck in a rut of negativity please listen. It will help. Good luck! Xx

Works!!!
