Project Happiness Handbook

Project Happiness Handbook

"What would a worthwhile happiness project even look like?"

As Randy Taran began having concerns about the authentic happiness within her family, this question burned in her mind. Having a background in film, she decided to produce a documentary, which brought young people from three continents together to get some answers from icons such as George Lucas (filmmaker and educational activist), Richard Gere (actor and humanitarian) and Richard Davidson (world renowned neuroscientist). The ultimate interview would take place in India, at a private audience with Nobel Peace Prize winner, the Dalai Lama.

After the release of the award-winning documentary, the Project Happiness Film, Randy Taran and Maria Lineger, inspired by that journey as well as the exciting research from the Science of Happiness, created this book, called The Project Happiness Handbook.

Beautifully illustrated in full color, this 195 page experiential book, suited for teens and adults alike, engages you in activities and questions to make you go deeper, know yourself better, and awaken to your true potential. Grounded in science and created to give you an experience of self-discovery and renewal, it provides practical tools to:

- be calm within the chaos
- discover your strengths
- reboot your relationships
- deal with that inner critic
- tap into your passions for a more meaningful life.

If you have ever wondered how to be happy, the good news you will discover is that happiness is not just a state; itâ€™s a skill that is available to everyone.

The book features 7 chapters, each of which is designed to take you on a personal journey to get to know who you really are, to learn how to master emotions, to connect compassionately with yourself and the complex world around us and finally, to positively share your individual gifts and passion.

Chapter 1 explores â€œWhat is Happiness?â€

Chapter 2 looks at Obstacles to Happiness and how to be calm through the chaos.

Chapter 3 focuses on Self Reflection. If knowledge is power, then self-knowledge is a game changer.

Chapter 7 is called Share Your Gift. This is where you get to tap into your unique gift and the difference it can make to those around you.

The Project Happiness Handbook also provides space to journal personal insights and to discover new perspectives. Rather than follow a cookie cutter recipe, the happiness you uncover will be what was already inside you and your own! Because the visuals are fresh and inviting, you can be creative and use The Project Happiness Handbook in any way that feels right for youâ€¦ as a personal discovery tool, with your friends, family or even in the classroom.
