How happiness happens : finding lasting joy in a world of comparison, disappointment, and unmet expectations
(Audiobook CD)

Read by Ben Holland.

"How long has it been since you felt a level of contagious, infectious, unflappable, unstoppable happiness? Maybe your answer is, 'I feel that way all the time.' If so, God bless you! (And consider suggesting this book to someone who needs it.) For many of us the answer is, 'Well, it's been a while. I used to be happy, but then life took its toll.' Worldwide, people profess that happiness is their most cherished goal. Marketers get this. Want to be happy? they ask. Eat at this restaurant, drive this car, wear this dress. Happiness depends on what you mount on your trophy wall, deposit in your bank account, experience in your bedroom, or serve at your dining table. Happiness happens when you lose the weight, get the date, find the mate, or discover your fate. It's wide, this way to happiness. Yet, for all its promise, it delivers a fragile joy; here one day, tomorrow scattered by the winds of comparison, disappointment, or unmet expectations. But what if there is a different, unexpected path to happiness? One that requires no credit card, monthly mortgage, or stroke of fortune. One in which age, looks, and ethnicity aren't factors. What if the road to joy is less about getting and more about giving? If you want to know more about life-altering, uplifting, heart-stabilizing, peace-producing joy, read on. In this book you will discover a way of life -- backed by Jesus' teaching and modern research -- that produces a happiness that lasts, a reliable joy that endures through any season."--,Provided by publisher.
