By making habit changes practical, by helping us reconnect to the meaning in our lives, and by opening up about the challenges she's overcome, Nataly's hopeful optimism is indomitable, inspiring, and life-changing." <b>--Shawn Achor, </b> <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Big Potential</i> and <i>The Happiness Advantage</i> <p/> "Nataly's book is one that you can return to again and again. Supported by excellent, fact-based advice, she begins by telling her own story in an honest and engaging way, reassuring the reader that she's been through it, too. It's not just you, she seems to say, but all of us. It's a truly great read." --<b>Celeste Headlee, </b> journalist, TEDx speaker, and bestselling author <p/>"In <i>Happier Now</i>, Nataly Kogan traces her own journey to everyday happiness. What she discovers is that chasing one big goal rarely brings an end to self-doubt, fear, and unhappiness. Instead, true satisfaction is more often found in facing our negative emotions, cultivating self-care, and finding purpose in life. This book can be a guide to a life of genuine happiness." <br>--<b>Daniel H. Pink, </b> author of <i>Drive</i> and <i>A Whole New Mind</i> <p/>"<i>Happier Now</i> will feed your soul and nourish your mind. Expect inspiration, practical advice, and greater confidence that true, lasting happiness is within reach." --<b>Elena Brower, </b> author of <i>Practice You</i> <p/>"By synthesizing a treasure trove of psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral economics research, Nataly has created an immensely practical approach of what we can do every day to create more joy, feel more gratitude, and be happier. This is a book we can all learn from--no matter what our baseline levels of serotonin!" --<b>Bob Kocher, MD, </b> former special assistant for health care and economic policy for President Obama; adjunct professor, Stanford University; and partner at Venrock <p/>"Through doable, accessible practices, Nataly teaches us how to find joy in everyday moments, rather than hanging our happiness on the next big milestone, and how to avoid being guided by our ego and remember that we're a being, not a doing. As a mom, my biggest takeaway was the importance of teaching my kids that it's okay to not be happy sometimes instead of giving them a distraction to make them happy." --<b>Fran Hauser, </b> startup investor, former president of digital at Time Inc., and author of <i>The Myth of the Nice Girl</i> <p/>"Nataly rocks! Her journey is not only honest and vulnerable but also practical and inspiring--no easy feat! <i>Happier Now</i> isn't your standard cliché-filled slog. Instead, it's a refreshing, insightful, and actionable guide to making small changes that add up to a more resilient and joyful life." --<b>Derek Flanzraich, </b> CEO and founder of Greatist <p/>"What I love about Nataly's book is that she challenges us all to forgive ourselves for saying 'I'll be happier when . . .' and instead start telling ourselves 'I'm happier because . . .' Gratitude is a strategy. This realization has helped me in my life, and I know it will help you too." --<b>Amy Jo Martin, </b> entrepreneur & <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author <p/>"Every person on planet Earth wants the same thing--happiness. And yet it eludes most of us. With a skillful blend of scientific research and inspiring stories, Nataly teaches us that the keys to happiness are right in our hands." --<b>Bert Jacobs, </b> cofounder of Life is Good and coauthor of <i>Life Is Good: The Book</i> <p/>"Nataly Kogan has a profound insight: that happiness is not just a feeling but something that we can practice. <i>Happier Now</i> is chock-full of both the philosophy and tools we all need to transform and enrich the way we think about our lives--an invaluable resource for turbulent times." --<b>Diane Hessan, </b> entrepreneur, researcher, and CEO of Salient Ventures <p/>"Part touching memoir, part practical workbook, <i>Happier Now</i> leads the reader on an entertaining and useful journey to increase life's joy and meaning." --<b>Alex Korb, PhD, </b> author of <i>The Upward Spiral: Using Neuroscience to Reverse the Course of Depression, One Small Change at a Time</i> <p/>"This book, like Nataly herself, is a shining beacon if you are at a point of absolute exhaustion or crisis in your life.
