Sample Book Insights:

#1 A happy life is one that is full of different types of positive emotions. Positive emotions about the past, such as gratitude, forgiveness, and appreciation, are important components of a happy life.

#2 Positive psychology is the study of how people and society can be happier, and it has drawn on scientific research to develop strategies for raising happy children. It is based on the idea that we can get something negative back to neutral, and that parents and children can be happier no matter where they start from.

#3 Raising Happiness is about setting your children up to thrive. The well-being of children is more important to adults than anything else, and we have reason to be concerned about the well-being of teenagers. But happiness is a skill that can be taught to children.

#4 Emotional literacy is the ability to regulate and understand emotions. It is the most important skill for growing into a happy and successful adult. Children who can regulate their emotions are better at soothing themselves when they are upset, which means they experience negative emotions for a shorter period of time.
