Searching for Happiness: How Generosity, Faith, and Other Spiritual Habits Can Lead to a Full Life

The key to happiness is being rich, successful, and beautiful…right? Best-selling author Martin Thielen, insists that this is far from the truth.

In Searching for Happiness, Thielen uses psychological research, personal anecdotes, and Scripture, to describe ten practices that do contribute to happiness. Instead of aiming to make more money, Thielen contends that expressing gratitude and cultivating optimism are surer paths to joy. Rather than focusing on constant advancement in our careers, let's practice our ability to forgive, to be generous, and to use trials as growth opportunities. These lessons and much more, will help anyone who is dissatisfied in their lives see that authentic contentment is closer than they ever imagined. Also features a guide for group or individual study.
