The SPIEGEL bestseller for more happiness in life. Being happy has nothing to do with luck! It's not so easy when it comes to happiness. We all want to be happy, but we have no idea how to achieve it. One thing is clear: it won't happen on its own. However, Nicole Staudinger knows that happiness often waits in places we least expect. And when life throws us off course, sometimes it helps to change our perspective: how small shifts in viewpoint can have a big impact in everyday life. How we can recognize and let go of old habits that make us unhappy. How we can clarify the circumstances that burden us and find the courage to change them. How we can learn to cope better with situations we cannot control. The popular bestselling author Nicole Staudinger shows why sometimes all it takes is the right perspective to be truly happy again. A guide that is as funny as it is touching, leading to new viewpoints, unexpected moments of happiness, and a rediscovered appreciation for the beautiful sides of life.
