Miserable with a Smile

Finally, a book about happiness that is uncomfortably honest about the real reasons so many people live life feeling dissatisfied about where they are compared to where they want to be. The author, Jason Barry, doesn't hold back in cutting straight into the root causes of discontent in life and offers a counter-intuitive framework for finding happiness without the traditional "finding zen" or "hustle-to-get-rich" advice that is seen in most other books in this genre.



For decades, authors, academics, and celebrities have pushed concepts such as positive thinking, meditation, morning rituals, and even nutritional supplements as the keys to happiness. They have talked about losing weight, becoming rich, and getting everything that you have ever wanted because these would be the things that would surely bring you a life of pure bliss. What they sold didn't work.



This book is different. Instead of regurgitating the same concepts that have been covered over and over, this book offers a new perspective. By addressing the reasons that you might feel unhappy, the author shows you how you can finally BE happy. It is a masterful counter-intuitive guide to finding happiness in a world that has seemingly been designed to keep us running on a hamster wheel of discontent.
