What kind of life do you want for yourself? What choices will create this kind of life?

In his New York Times bestseller Happier, positive psychology expert Tal Ben-Shahar taught us how to become happier through simple exercises.

Now, in Choose the Life You Want, he has a new, life-changing lesson to share: Drawing on the latest psychological research, Ben-Shahar shows how making the right choices--not the big, once-in-a-lifetime choices, but the countless small choices we make every day almost without noticing--has a direct, long-lasting impact on our happiness.

Every single moment is an opportunity to make a conscious choice for a happy and fulfilled life. Choose the Life You Want covers 101 such choices, complete with real-life stories, to help you identify and act on opportunities large and small.
