About the Book
Control What You Can Control: A Path to Happiness combines the science of positive psychology with the common sense of good therapy. The book is educational and entertaining, with chapters written in a clear and engaging style as well as easy-to-follow exercises that allow readers to incorporate lessons into their everyday lives. This is a book one can keep on the nightstand, to read at bedtime when our brains are more receptive to reflection and change, and one that can be reread when old thoughts and habits creep back in.
