Personal Development

During a time when happiness often feels elusive, psychologist Dr. Ashley Smith sheds light on how to attain it… even in the face of challenges. Born with a rare condition that makes her legally and increasingly blind, Dr. Ashley knows, firsthand, what it takes to overcome adversity and live a bold, happy life. Through heartfelt storytelling and professional insights, this collection of short lessons offers actionable wisdom and tools to help you find happiness as well. The Way I See It will change the way you see life.

“My formal training and my desperate personal journey for happiness, the experiences I’ve had… have all coalesced into this place in which I am confident and content. I am excited by life and able to weather its storms with resilience, trust, and hope. I want the same for you.”

Dr. Ashley Smith is a clinical psychologist, speaker, co-founder of Peak Mind: The Center for Psychological Strength, and self-proclaimed happiness quester.
