Many of us believe that happiness depends on outside circumstances. Richard Carlson shows that in fact it has nothing to do with forces beyond our control - and that our natural state is actually contentment. Carlson takes us through five principles such as Thought, Moods, Separate Realities, Feelings, and the Present Moment to help us discover a new way of living that doesn't repress natural emotions. "You Can Be Happy No Matter What" is a simple and practical guide that gently guides readers through life's challenges and restores the joy of living.
