The Joy Prescription: A Scientific Plan for Daily Happiness

You don't need another pep talk-you need a plan built for real days. This book turns cutting-edge findings from positive psychology into a positive psychology daily practice you can trust, using the neuroscience of joy to design small inputs that compound. Inside, you'll craft durable happiness habits, layer in micro joys that travel with you, and install gratitude rituals that work instead of wilting after a week. You'll protect attention, schedule flow states at home and work, and build social connections through simple, warm rituals that don't feel forced. Each chapter helps you test and personalise an evidence based happiness routine-sleep, light, movement, and conversation-until it fits. No heavy journaling, no perfectionism: just experiments, feedback, and upgrades. By the end, you'll have a living personal happiness formula and mindfulness you will keep-a practical rhythm that steadies your mood, sharpens your focus, and makes ordinary hours reliably good. This isn't about chasing peaks; it's about building a life that quietly works.
