Summary

"Happiness: everyone craves it. And everyone benefits from it. Happy people enjoy higher odds of a strong marriage, lower odds of divorce, and superior work performance. Studies show they are also healthier and tend to have fatter bank accounts. Happiness, it turns out, helps everyone. But fewer people are finding it. Only one-third of Americans say they are happy. This means that a perpetual cloud of gray over-shadows two out of three people. Two out of three! Smiles are in short supply. How do we explain the gloom? While the answers are varied and complex, among them must be this idea: we are pursuing the wrong path to joy. In How Happiness Happens, trusted pastor and bestselling author Max Lucado unpacks a proven happiness plan, based upon ten key principles found in the Bible -- the "one another" statements. These others-oriented directives, such as love one another, serve one another, and forgive one another, embody what the Bible teaches and research affirms: doing good does good for the doer."--, Provided by publisher
