About this listen

When people find out she is a therapist, Niro Feliciano knows she isn't going anywhere anytime soon. At soccer games, at cocktail parties, in waiting rooms, people corner her and ask: Why am I so stressed?

The truth is happiness is fleeting, and we are stressing ourselves out trying to achieve it. In This Book Won't Make You Happy, national media commentator and Psychology Today columnist Feliciano offers a path to something much more achievable and abundantly more satisfying: contentment.

By incorporating eight simple postures rooted in cognitive behavioral science and mindfulness practices into our daily routines, we can move toward balance and calm. Acceptance, gratitude, connection, a present-focused perspective, intentionality and priority, self-compassion, resilience, and faith: through these practices we will overcome obstacles that hold us back from living full, meaningful, contented lives.

Anxiety, stress, and grief aren't going away anytime soon, and this book won't make you happy. But with wit and empathy, Feliciano leads you right past happy to calm. No matter how "happy" your life is—or isn't—you can reach a deeper, truer, and longer-lasting place of contentment.

Good book, but some cliché

Overall, I found this book interesting and worth reading, or listening. Some ideas introduced in this book are actually what I haven't head of or thought about. However, this book does contain some cliché that you may have heard or read a number of times, such as the threat that social media or materialism place upon us. And towards the end of the book, the author touches on religious stuff, not in a detailed way though, so if you do not want anyone to talk about that sensitive stuff, this book might not be for you.
However, all said and done, my honest feeling is like "if you can borrow this book or buy it at second-hand book store, I would certainly recommend doing so."
