You may have seen claims about how a book can improve your life.
Thousands of people have provided supportive evidence for this
book. It gives both clear help and evidence for its ideas. Even if
you have a history of unhappiness or depression or are facing
difficult circumstances, you can learn to be happier. For those who
doubt they can affect their emotions, the book provides strong
contrary evidence. The factors Dr. Stevens' research identified are
specific learnable beliefs and skills--not general, inherited
traits. Each chapter teaches some of these factors about how to be
happy and successful. The book is for people who value growth and
self-development to become happier and healthier. Perhaps you want
to improve self-esteem, positive thinking, assertiveness, autonomy,
motivation, emotional control, relationships, self-control, or
achievement. Chapters deal with these issues, but also deal with
core issues underlying these problems. This book is for people who
are serious about being happy. No matter how difficult your past
history or current circumstances, striking insights into the causes
of emotions can empower you to rise above negative emotions, and
choose to be happy. When Dr. Stevens was 16 he started a life-long
experiment in learning how to be happy and help others be happy. He
combines expertise of 31 years as a psychologist with a
cognitive-philosophical-spiritual approach and his personal
experience to make this an important book about achieving
happiness. His research provides crucial, detailed support for his
ideas not found in most self-help books. Yet, his clinical and
personal experience helps him provide practical, detailed self-help
advice. Well-known author and PBS speaker, Dr. Wayne Dyer wrote
this book is, "A thorough presentation, rich in detail, yet very
reader friendly. I enthusiastically endorse Tom Stevens' book and
recommend it as a powerful tool for human development." What Dr.
Stevens learned about happiness was the basis for his own happy
life and marriage. It gave him new approaches to therapy that
greatly enhanced his ability to help others. That's why readers
say, "I have found your book to be such an inspiration to me."
"It's packed with insightful knowledge and expertise." "All the
personal experiences and skills I learned will stay with me
forever." "I'm a self-help book 'junkie'-I've read them all; and
this is the best self-help book I've ever read." "Already I am more
at peace and will never be the same again." "The book is a terrific
combination of scholarship, superb information, and spirituality."
100% of a reader test group said they would recommend the book to a
friend--40% already had. They rated the book an average of 8.23 out
of a possible 9.0 on a scale of "overall usefulness of the book."
After writing the first edition, Dr. Stevens wanted even more proof
that the content of this book was valid, so he developed the free,
online questionnaire, SHAQ (The Success and Happiness Attributes
Questionnaire), by going through each chapter, taking each main
idea, and turning it into questions. He correlated these questions
(and related scales) with over 3400 SHAQ users' emotional and life
success measures. SHAQ scales correlated with Happiness, .87; with
Low Depression, .73; with Low Anxiety, .68; with Low
Anger-Aggression, .70; with Relationship Success, .70; and with
good results for career success measures as well. Correlations this
high are rarely found in this type of research. We aren't aware of
any self-help book that has ever tested its ideas so extensively.
These dramatic results impelled Dr. Stevens to revise this book and
include the results of his study and other new sections. Take SHAQ
for help related to what you read in the book.
