Do you want to be perfect? Or do you want to be happy?

We’re all laboring in our own and society’s objectives to become perfect in every way-to look youthful, to make more money, to become happy on a regular basis. But according to Tal Ben-Shahar, the New York Occasions bestselling writer of Happier, the quest for perfect may actually end up being the number-one inner obstacle to finding happiness.

Applying cutting-edge study in the field of positive psychology-the scientific principles trained in his wildly popular course at Harvard University-Ben-Shahar takes us from the impossible quest for perfection and directs us to the way to happiness, richness, and true fulfillment. He displays us the independence derived from not really trying to accomplish it all correct on a regular basis and the real lessons that failure and painful feelings can train us. He provides exercises for self reflection, meditations, and “Time-Ins” to assist you rediscover what you want out of lifestyle.
