This is a summary, & it does not accompany the official

In 'Build the Life You Want: The Art and Science of Getting Happier' by Arthur C. Brooks and Oprah Winfrey, readers are invited on a transformative journey toward greater happiness, regardless of their current challenges. Drawing on the latest scientific insights and their wealth of experience in helping individuals turn ideas into action, Brooks and Winfrey offer practical strategies to enhance one's life immediately, without relying on external changes.

With empathy and optimism, the authors emphasize the power of emotional self-management as a tool for immediate life improvement. They provide research-backed practices to strengthen the four essential pillars of happiness: family, friendship, work, and faith. In addition to sharing their own wisdom from personal lives and careers, they also highlight stories of ordinary people who have found joy and contentment despite facing setbacks and adversity.

Armed with the knowledge of emotional self-management and a blueprint to fortify their life's pillars, readers can take control of their present and future rather than passively waiting for circumstances to improve. 'Build the Life You Want' serves as a practical guide to creating a happier and more fulfilling life.
