Dr. Jan Seward
Cracking Happiness: A Practical Guide To Good Feelings That Last
Book blurb...
Happiness isn't a fixed trait you're born with or without. It's a skill, and like any skill it can be learned. That conviction sits at the heart of Cracking Happiness, and it comes from someone who has spent a career testing it. Dr. Jan Seward, Psy.D., a licensed clinical and transpersonal psychologist with more than thirty-five years in mind-body medicine, has watched people build lasting well-being the same way they'd build strength or fluency: through small, repeatable daily practices that stack into a scaffold sturdy enough to stand on. Her method rests on four pillars, mind, body, connection, and purpose, and on the Healthy Selfish Principle, the idea that caring for yourself isn't indulgence but the ground everything else grows from. You'll begin with a Happiness Audit to see where you actually stand, translate it into a personalized Happiness Blueprint, and set it in motion with a 90-day plan that turns intention into habit. No forced positivity, no overnight reinvention. Just a clear, practical path, laid out by someone who has helped people walk it for decades, so happiness stops being something you wait for and becomes something you build.
