The Happiness Hookup

The Happiness Hookup is a handbook to refer to when life makes you forget what it's all about. It's designed to give you tools, not abstract language that sounds positive but is unusable in the moment. This book gives ways of thinking that can be used as a life raft in the moment. It's always right there to assist, like a floatation device, to get you elevated from life's nonsense and on your way.

The Happiness Hookup, in handbook form, provides scenarios, plants mental imagery and opens your eyes to discoveries you already knew deep down inside. The book is for everyone from those fatigue with self-help information, to those hungry for it, to those who have never heard of self-help. The Happiness Hookup takes a bird's eye view of humanity that helps everyday problems begin to make sense. Life's constant flow of challenges become more easily overcome than originally realized. There are phrases, humor, illustrations and buzzwords to help make the concepts you need most, actually stick. And since we're all human, there's something to gain for everyone here. The everyday language and common sense logic helps to connect with something inside you. After all, it doesn't help to listen to another's point of view, something must connect in YOU. That's the point of The Happiness Hookup. All it takes is for one concept to connect to change your life. There are enough options to choose from here to tip the odds in your favor. After reading it, keep the book in an accessible spot for reference. Flip to any page, any time, for additional hits of Happy.
