The Art of Being Happy by Mukesh Jain | Book review

 Book review:

“The Art of Being Happy,” a ground-breaking course on the  science of positive psychology, explores the roots of a happy and  meaningful life. Through practical exercises and research-backed insights, one’ll learn how to foster social and emotional well-being, build stronger relationships, and create more meaning in your life. 

The author proposed PERMA which is an acronym for the five elements of  well-being, according to Seligman. 

 - P - Positive Emotions (Feeling Good) 

 - E- Engagement (Being completely absorbed in activities) 

 - R- Relationship (Being authentically connected to others)

 - M - Meaning (having a purposeful existence) 

 - A - Achievement (sense of success and accomplishment) 

Quote from the book that aroused a sense to introspect and change for better :

💦 “Happiness is not conditional. Don’t be happy when. Be happy  despite. Life is never perfect. Something is always wrong. But don’t  let the wrong erase all the right.”  -

💦“Comparison is the thief of joy.” 

💦 “The secret to life is meaningless unless you discover it yourself.” 

💦“Too many people spend money they earned to buy things they  don’t want to impress people that they don’t like.”  

In this book I got to know the importance of mindsets and how it influences others. Mindsets guide our attentional and motivational processes and  affect both subjective and objective measures of health and wellbeing. It challenges outdated anecdotal advice, equipping readers with proven methods to foster their social and emotional well-being, forge stronger relationships, and infuse their lives with greater purpose.

The author has deep researched the topic that is vivid in his descriptions and explanations. The anecdotes and inspiring quotes help in motivating the growth of an individual.

Overall, "The Art of Being Happy" is an enthralling and enlightening masterpiece that delves deep into the scientific realm of genuine happiness. Do grab it.
