Many of us believe that happiness depends on outside circumstances. Richard Carlson shows that in fact it has nothing to do with forces beyond our control - and that our natural state is actually contentment. Carlson takes us through five principles - Thought, Moods, Separate Realities, Feelings, and the Present Moment - to help us discover a new way of living that doesn’t repress natural emotions. You Can Be Happy No Matter What is a simple and practical guide that gently guides readers through life’s challenges and restores the joy of living.

Pretty solid read. The principles for happiness laid out in this book make a whole lot of sense, and I will definitely be doing my best to integrate them into my life. This book uses many real life scenarios to portray ideas, which is great, but it doesn't use very much data or results from any kind of research, which would be better for my personal comprehension. Despite this, I still recommend this book to any person who desires to live a happy life unfettered by negative thoughts and emotions.
