Happiness isn’t easy. There are times in our lives when it comes easily. Falling in love. Finding the dream job. Getting a big raise. Having children. But most days, happiness is more difficult. It takes work, and part of that work is simply deciding the happiness is important and is worth working on. So if you are someone looking for more happiness in your life, and you’re ready to do the work, then The 5-Minute Happiness Journal is here for you.

Based on the work of a licensed clinical social worker and on decades of research into positive psychology, this small but powerful journal is an excellent tool on your path to happiness. The journal pages all start with a thoughtful question to get you thinking about what makes you happy. As you find yourself clarifying the moments and choices that truly bring you happiness, you can build with those to find more ways to invite joy into your life.

Filled with some personal insights, lots of inspiring quotes, and energizing colors, this journal first encourages you to figure out what happiness is for you and your life. Then it encourages you to embrace where you are in your life, healing from negative experiences and moving on to better days. From there, author Leslie Marchand encourages you to get more engaged with the world around you, to build connections that are meaningful to you and bring you genuine happiness. And then she turns her focus to gratitude, so you can be thankful for the happiness you are finding and draw more of it to you

The 5-Minute Happiness Journal isn’t going to fix everything that’s wrong with your life. It can’t promise wealth or health or that all your problems will just fall away. But it can help you focus more on what makes you happy, so that you can live a better life no matter what challenges you face. It’s all about what you focus on, and The 5-Minute Happiness Journal helps you focus on the things that bring you meaning, joy, faith, and happiness.
