It’s the end of 2023.
While winding up for a challenging but fruitful year, I recently finished a book that helped me find happiness and tranquility.
The book is called “Build the Life You Want” and co-authored by Arthur Brooks and Oprah Winfrey. It aims to help readers take control of their own happiness and success by embracing personal growth and pursuing their passions. The book encourages readers to create four sturdy pillars that will elevate them every single day: family, friends, meaningful work, and spirituality. It also emphasizes the importance of taking responsibility for one’s behavior and managing oneself emotionally to achieve happiness. The book is a practical guide to increasing happiness and life satisfaction based on scientific research. Some useful tips from the book:
- Create a vision for your life: The book encourages readers to create a vision for their life that is based on their passions and values. This vision should be used as a guide for making decisions and setting goals.
- Take responsibility for your behavior: The book emphasizes the importance of taking responsibility for one’s behavior and managing oneself emotionally to achieve happiness.
- Cultivate meaningful relationships: The book suggests that cultivating meaningful relationships with family, friends, and colleagues is essential for happiness and success.
- Pursue meaningful work: The book encourages readers to pursue work that is meaningful and fulfilling, rather than simply chasing money or status.
- Develop a spiritual practice: The book suggests that developing a spiritual practice can help individuals find meaning and purpose in their lives.
