Publisher's Synopsis
Most of us believe that our happiness depends on outside circumstances, that by solving our problems, improving our relationships, or achieving success we will find contentment. But Richard Carlson shows us that happiness has nothing to do with forces beyond our control, and in fact, our natural state is contentment. With this simple and practical guide, he reveals how to be happy, now, before we solve our problems, by understanding five principles: Thought, Moods, Separate Realities, Feelings and the Present Moment. "You Can Be Happy No Matter What" is a navigational tool that gently guides listeners through life's challenges and restores the joy of living along the way.
