we’re
all
going
to
die.
Practical happiness for the time you have left.
Self-love, self-care and self-efficacy? Absolutely. These are all key elements of building a happier you… Self-centredness and self-pity? Nope. These have the opposite effect.
So make like Marcus Aurelius and ‘get active in your own rescue’!
What’s it about?
The Stoics knew that tempus fugit (‘time flies’). Rather than see this as a bummer, however, they knew that our ever-ticking personal doomsday clocks were actually a brilliant reminder to embrace every second of our lives.
Never forget that you are going to die, and make the most of the short time you have left.
This insightful, warm and witty book reveals the philosophy, science and secrets of true happiness, and equips you with practical, tangible and immediate tools to increase it. From exploring the wisdom of Stoicism, Hedonism and other schools of philosophy, to unpacking the detail of neuroscience and psychology, and all the while throwing in a healthy dose of tough love, Pronk offers enlightenment on what happiness is, how it works and how you can get more of it.
Let’s make you happy. There’s no time to waste.
