The Happiness High: The Myths about Joy That Keep You Stuck (and What Actually Works) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781394334872)

If you've been doing everything you're "supposed" to do and still don't feel happy, it's time to understand why... and finally change it.

Most people spend their lives chasing happiness. They check all the right boxes, achieve what they "should," and still feel stressed, lonely, anxious, or empty. If you're tired of pretending you're "fine," if you've built a life that looks good but feels unfulfilling, and if you've been silently asking yourself, "Why don't I feel happy?" this is the moment everything changes.

In The Happiness High, Dana-Maxx Pomerantz, a certified mindfulness and neuroscience coach and founder of The Be Happy Project, a global mental wellness community reaching over a million people, shatters the myths we've been told about happiness. A former New York City fashion designer who rebuilt her life from the inside out, Pomerantz blends cutting-edge neuroscience, practical tools, and compassionate, raw honesty to provide a framework that doesn't just inspire--it transforms. Unlock the peace, joy, and fulfillment you've been searching for.

This isn't about forced positivity.

This is about understanding how your mind works and finally using it to your advantage.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

• Break free from thought loops that fuel anxiety and self-doubt
• Build emotional resilience even when life blindsides you
• Quiet your inner critic and heal old emotional wounds
• Rewire your brain with simple, research-backed techniques
• Stop chasing external validation and reconnect with your inner worth
• Create daily habits that produce real, sustainable happiness

...and so much more.

Grounded in neuroscience and enriched with relatable stories and actionable strategies, The Happiness High helps you understand why you feel the way you do--and exactly how to change it--with clarity, confidence, and zero judgment.

This isn't just a self-help book. It's a blueprint for emotional freedom. A guide to feeling lighter, calmer, more centered, and fully alive every day. A roadmap for moving from simply surviving your days to actually thriving in them.

If you're tired of the constant chase...
