You don't have to search endlessly for happiness. You can practice it. You've worked hard, achieved your goals, and followed the well-meaning advice. Yet that sense of deep fulfilment still feels just out of reach. But the problem was never you. It's that no one ever taught you that happiness is a skillset, not a destination. Declan Edwards — "That Happiness Guy" — has spent over a decade coaching thousands of people through BU Happiness College, an award-winning program grounded in positive psychology research. How to Be Happy distills that coaching experience into five core skills that build lasting well-being from the inside out, one intentional choice at a time. How to be Happy is for people who want real tools, not inspirational slogans. Complete with practical exercises, insightful case studies and research-backed strategies that meet you exactly where you are. Whether you're a growth-minded professional, an overwhelmed achiever or simply ready to feel more alive, now is the time to progress towards the happy and fulfilling life you deserve — one skill and one step at a time.
