Dr. Ian Smith has turned his attention from losing weight to gaining joy in his new book, Happy: Simple Steps to Get the Most Out of Life. The New York Times best-selling author of The 4 Day Diet and The Fat Smash Diet and host of VH1's Celebrity Fit Club, questioned his own happiness a few years ago. Dr. Ian, had an epiphany after admitting to himself--while on his honeymoon--that he was a PDA-junkie who was working way too much and too hard.
In the book “Happy,” you can expect to find that happiness has nothing to do with money or beauty, fame or shopping.
Dr. Ian touches on several keys to happiness in his book. They include:
- How to be optimistic
- Why optimism and realism are not opposites
- How to get outside yourself
- The importance of family and community
- Why involvement leads to contentment
- Shedding the treadmill mentality of getting and spending
- Tapping the power of simple pleasures
- Mastering modern life to live in the moment
- What we can learn from the Danish people
- How to be, not just to do
