Do you believe that happiness can only be found when you achieve or find something? Instead, how about reframing that thought to thinking that being happy is a choice, something that you can simply decide to be?

Dr. Dyer believed that happiness is within you and comes from the way you think. If you want to be happy, you can be. If you continue to search for it externally, you’ll never catch it completely. Placing the responsibility for your own happiness in someone else’s hands or on the off-chance of obtaining something is just going to lead to a life wasted.
Happiness doesn’t come from other people or other things; it comes from the way you think and how you see the world.
If you want to experience true happiness and contentment, you have to change your perception. You should realize that happiness is a choice that is in your hands and not the responsibility of someone or something else.

Many people blame others for the way they’re feeling. You’ll often hear, “You really upset me,” or “You hurt me,” or “You made me angry.” It’s common to hear things like this, but you can only be upset, hurt, or angry if you have those feelings already inside you. You have to allow yourself to have that hurt, upset, or anger inside to be able to experience it. You’re the one creating your own life and your own feelings.

If you’re constantly battling with your emotions and always wishing that you could be happier, learning how to manifest this in your own life is vital. It sounds complicated, but all you need to do is make the right choice and choose to be happy.
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
