Almost everyone strives for happiness, that great feeling that seems so difficult to achieve. Countless motivation techniques and self-improvement guides provide seekers with tasks, rules, or exercises that supposedly lead to more happiness and satisfaction. However, experience and studies show that the opposite is often true. Frank Kinslow has good news for all the failed seekers of happiness: You don’t have to learn anything at all! Happiness is already within all of us; we just need to rediscover access to it. Recent research findings indicate that well-known motivation techniques such as positive thinking and the law of attraction not only remain ineffective in the long run but can also have negative effects on the psyche due to constant pressure to succeed, leading to dissatisfaction and even depression.
