Hacking Happiness by Michael Simonsen
What if you had the superpower to generate joy and love in every moment – even at work?
In my forthcoming book, entitled Hacking Happiness, I’ll show you how.
In the video below, I share the basics of Hacking Happiness: how we can all unlock the superpower that many of us have lost. By focusing on our serotonin, oxytocin, dopamine, and cortisol, we can purposefully create the emotional conditions for success.
Hacking Happiness walks us through personal journeys that illustrate a universal human challenge: the quest to find deep joy in our lives and in our work. We all go through life’s phases of elation and depression – the question is, how can we emerge successfully on the other side? The latest technological and medical advances show us how we can manifest joy, confidence, strength, and creative energy at any given time – and demonstrate that these characteristics are in fact the emotional conditions that create success.
In Hacking Happiness, I’ll share my personal journey and the stories of countless others on this journey with me. My research combines the latest neuroscience and medical evidence with ancient wisdom and practical tools to define a new framework that is literally changing people’s lives.
Resource Guide
Hacking Happiness is scheduled for publication in 2022. In the meantime, I am writing and researching and hacking away. I’m also sharing the Hacking Happiness talk with companies and organizations. Each time I do, I get to learn more and grow. We continue to add to the collective knowledge.
Please drop me your email address below if you’d like to stay informed and receive the latest version of the Hacking Happiness Resource Guide.
Interviews and discussion
I’m having fun discussing the Hacking Happiness concepts, the research, and the “hacks” that lead to such a dramatic personal transformation. If you’re interested in learning more about the Hacking Happiness concepts before the book is available, check these out. Each is about an hour of fascinating interaction with a thoughtful host.
Stay tuned.
