Summary of Courtney E. Ackerman's My Pocket Positivity

Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Well-being is more than just happiness or just feeling good. It is a global sense that your life is a good one, and that you are fulfilled and satisfied by your day-to-day life. Having at least a minimum level of well-being is vital to living the good life. #2 The effectiveness of this exercise depends on the human desire to help others. Doing good for others is one of the best ways to enhance your well-being, and thinking about the potential ripple effects of your positive actions can boost it even more. #3 Taking a walk can give you a big boost to your well-being, both physically and mentally. It’s a simple and easy activity that almost anyone can do when they want to feel better. #4 You can challenge your negative thoughts by asking yourself four questions: Is the thought true. Is it even possible to know if it’s true. What effects does believing this thought have on you. What are the potential effects of not believing this thought.
