The gap and the gain : the high achievers' guide to happiness, confidence, and success / Hardy, Benjamin

"Most people, especially highly ambitious people, are unhappy because of what they measure themselves against. We all have an ideal, which is like a moving target always out of reach. When we measure ourselves against our ideal, we're in "The Gap." However, when we measure ourselves against our previous selves-the person we were when we set our goals and ideals-we will be in "The Gain." In "The Gain" we can more clearly see the progress we've made, and therefore will experience the happiness, confidence, and satisfaction that come from achieving-positive, powerful emotions that will motivate us to pursue new goals and ultimately become increasingly successful"--

The purpose code : how to unlock meaning, maximize happiness, and leave a lasting legacy / Grumet, Jordan.

"Worried about purpose? Most people are. But no one has to be. Brené Brown meets Malcolm Gladwell in this ground-breaking self-improvement book that reveals how to make a mark and how to set goals in life without falling into the anxiety traps of conventional success principles books. The ultimate in purpose anxiety relief, and a map for anyone to find happiness. Purpose can change your life. Having a sense of purpose has been scientifically proven to help people find happiness, longevity, and health. But lots of us are also worried about purpose -- purpose anxiety has been estimated to affect as much as 91% of people. What's going on? And how do we do purpose the right way -- to unlock all its many benefits, set goals in life, make a mark and journey from anxiety to legacy? This question set hospice doctor and writer Jordan Grumet on a quest, and The Purpose Code shares his remarkable findings to help you change your future forever. The result is a self-development book like no other. It turns out that we fundamentally misunderstand purpose and the role it plays in our lives. In fact, there are two different types of purpose. One will lead to anxiety and disillusionment; the other will lead to connection and lasting legacy. Finding happiness has never been about creating big audacious goals that we may or may not be able to achieve. True contentment comes from filling our lives with enriching activities that lead to connection and, ultimately, legacy. Swap grand but ultimately empty success books for this small goals book, and begin creating your true purpose today--

What your body knows about happiness : unexpected ways to find gratitude, happiness, and joy / Kaplan, Janice

"In school, we're taught that the central nervous system, including the brain, is the big computer telling our bodies how to respond to a trigger. But there's a growing body of research proving that in fact the system often works in reverse, that it's our body programming the brain by acting without being told what to do. For example, the act of smiling can improve your mood. Or when you pass a dark alley and your body tenses and your heart starts pounding, your cardiovascular system is sending a message to your brain to be scared. In this book, Janice Kaplan, the New York Times bestselling author of The Gratitude Diaries, will explore the mind-body connection and show that our feeling bodies are often smarter than our thinking minds, by weaving together new scientific research from experts from around the globe and from various disciplines, including psychologists, neuroscientists, and environments. And she'll provide tips and strategies for discovering this vital mind-body connection so they can work together to make you happier"--

The art of doing : a guide to getting motivated, getting unstuck and getting it done / Lipscombe, Jesse

How to embrace a life of curiosity, action, and adventure while still mastering your to-do list. The answer is yes: when the default response is no, or maybe another time, choose yes and open yourself to more opportunities for growth. Let love lead--everyday: point your energy and focus toward what you love about what you're doing instead of focusing on avoiding potential negative outcomes; life will sort out all the details along the way. Move from "have" to "get": when you realize you don't have to do anything, you get to, you'll unlock a whole new world of gratitude for who and where you are right now. Embrace a lobster life: a lobster sheds its shell when there is no more room to grow and sprouts a new one; when you find yourself too comfortable, ditch your safety shell to grow a bigger one in its place. Do the next easiest: when you have an idea but feel overwhelmed by how big the undertaking might be, do the next easiest thing; no matter how daunting, you can always find the next easiest thing to keep your project moving forward. Follow your drum: we all have a deep reason, an inner beat, to why we want to do anything; when things get hard and you want to jump ship, tune in to that internal drum to keep on moving.
