The secret to happiness? Stop trying to find it – it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.

Finding happiness is less about learning new tricks and more about unlearning the ways of thinking holding you back: stop chasing happiness, stop obsessing over what others think, stop suppressing your feelings, stop making sacrifices for personal success.

Here, academic and philosopher Frank Martela from the world’s happiest country, Finland, unpacks why we value happiness and success, and why chasing them is actually making you miserable. Instead, he teaches you how to live with a sense of purpose and what he calls energised contentment.

Reading Stop Chasing Happiness will give you the courage to free yourself from the illusions of what you should be doing, the serenity to accept whatever life throws at you, and the sparkle to energetically pursue whatever you identify as your real values.

Stop the anxious chase. You have already arrived. Start living in a way that allows you to accept the past, enjoy the present, and work towards a better future – whatever that future looks like for you.
