My New Book Arrives in August

I have some exciting news! My latest book is coming out in August! Being Well: A Positive Path to a Healthier, Happier You, is a practical guide for anyone who’s ever struggled to turn good intentions into lasting habits. It offers an empowering, research-backed approach to improving well-being.

Since publishing Beyond Happy, I’ve given hundreds of talks on well-being. While people appreciate learning about the science behind living a happier, healthier life, many tell me they struggle to turn that knowledge into action. Beyond Happy was a “what to do" book. That’s important, but I realized people also need a “how to do it" book.

That insight led me to spend several years diving into the research on habit formation and behavior change. Along the way, I discovered a simple yet powerful truth: feeling good fuels sustainable change far more effectively than guilt or willpower ever can.

Whether you're hoping to eat healthier, move more, sleep better, or manage stress, this book offers evidence-based strategies for harnessing the power of positivity to create lasting lifestyle change. Inside, you’ll discover:

·      The six lifestyle factors healthcare professionals and psychologists agree are essential for physical and emotional well-being, and how to integrate them into your daily life.

·      Why your brain derails your best intentions because of its present bias, along with practical tools to overcome it.

·      How to make healthy habits enjoyable by choosing activities you love, adding elements that spark joy, and aligning your goals with your core values.

·      How your environment shapes your choices, and how to design spaces and relationships that support well-being efforts.

·      How to rewrite limiting self-stories and connect with your future self in ways that inspire better choices today.

Building well-being takes effort, but it doesn't have to feel like a constant struggle. When you make the process positive, effort starts to feel easy, rewarding, and even enjoyable. That’s the secret to lasting health and happiness. That’s what Being Well will help you achieve.
