As Marci Shimoff recounts her life-long experience with self-help concepts such as visualization, goal-setting, the laws of attraction, and success, among others, as well as her career as a motivational speaker, what comes through is that she has a track record and a solid grounding that eventually led her to the realization that externals will not bring happiness; the work that needs to be done is internal. Shimoff offers two solid contributions: she identifies and explains how what she calls our "happiness set point" can help us gauge our happiness and how it can be "reset like a thermostat." And, she offers practical advice on how we can consciously work on seven key areas: personal power, mind, heart, body, soul, purpose, and relationships.

Shimoff backs up her insights with scientific research on happiness, and connects her ideas to the world's religions and wisdom traditions. She explains why her idea of "happy for no reason" is not a pie-in-the-sky view of life through rose-colored glasses, but a practical way of living that can bring about a deep, underlying feeling of peace and security.

What would it take to make you happy? A fulfilling career, a big bank account, or the perfect mate? What if it didn't take anything to make you happy? What if you could experience happiness from the inside out -- no matter what's going on in your life?

In "Happy for No Reason: 7 Steps to Being Happy from the Inside Out," transformational expert Marci Shimoff offers a breakthrough approach to being happy, one that doesn't depend on achievements, goals, money, relationships, or anything else "out there." Most books on happiness tell you to find the things that make you happy and do more of them. Although there's nothing wrong with that, it won't bring you the kind of deep and lasting happiness most people long for -- the kind you'll never lose, no matter what happens in your life. Based on cutting-edge research and knowledge from the world's leading experts in the fields of positive psychology and neurophysiology, plus interviews with 100 truly happy people, this life-changing book provides a powerful, proven 7-step program that will enable you to be happier right now -- no matter where you start.

Studies show that each of us has a "happiness setpoint" -- a fixed range of happiness we tend to return to throughout our life -- that's approximately 50 percent genetic and 50 percent learned. In the same way you'd crank up the thermostat to get comfortable on a chilly day, you can actually raise your happiness set-point The holistic 7-step program at the heart of "Happy for No Reason" encompasses Happiness Habits for all areas of life: personal power, mind, heart, body, soul, purpose, and relationships.

In these pages you'll discover moving and remarkable first-person stories of peoplewho have applied these steps to their own lives and have become Happy for No Reason. You'll read phenomenal tales from a former drug dealer turned minister, a hit filmmaker, and a famous actress who escaped a "family curse," as well as stories from doctors, mothers, teachers, and business executives. You'll learn practical strategies that will help you experience happiness from the inside out.

You don't have to have happy genes, win the lottery, or lose twenty pounds. By the time you finish this book, you will know how to experience sustained happiness for the rest of your life.
