A life-changing guide to finding true happiness from author Stephanie Harrison, whose revolutionary new approach to well-being has changed the lives of millions around the world.

You feel unworthy, anxious, lonely, lost, insecure, or empty. You wonder, “Isn’t there more to life than this?” and “When will I finally be happy?” And you blame yourself.

But it’s not your fault you feel this way. You have been affected by Old Happy: society’s warped definition of happiness. It has made you believe that, in order to be happy, you need to perfect yourself, work harder and harder, and do everything alone.

Old Happy is making you—and all of us—miserable. It’s time to free yourself and experience the true, lasting joy that you deserve.

In New Happy, happiness expert Stephanie Harrison deftly and compassionately challenges our conventional wisdom, drawing upon hundreds of scientific studies to definitively prove that we are pursuing happiness in all the wrong ways.

Harrison illuminates the path out of Old Happy, showing you the surprisingly simple steps that will bring you joy, purpose, and love—and how these choices ripple out to change the world for the better, too.

Based on ten years of research, and brought to life with beautiful artwork that explains the book’s key concepts, New Happy will teach you how to:

- Accept and love yourself, exactly as you are
- Break free of the pressure to follow a specific path in life
- Experience more love, connection and belonging
- Discover your extraordinary gifts, talents, and strengths
- Tap into your powerful internal motivation and do what matters most to you
- Overcome loneliness and find your unique place in the world
- Make the world a better place, starting right where you are


This isn’t just a book. It’s a transformative journey that will help you understand yourself and how to live your best life. With practical, step-by-step guidance based on the latest science, New Happy’s revolutionary approach to happiness is what you—and our world—have been waiting for.
