About this listen

Most of us believe that our happiness depends on the outside world - and that by solving our problems, improving our relationships, or achieving success, we will find contentment. In You Can Be Happy No Matter What, Dr. Richard Carlson shows that happiness has nothing to do with forces beyond our control. His simple and practical guide teaches 5 principles - Thought, Moods, Separate Realities, Feelings, and the Present Moment - for discovering a new mode of living that doesn't repress natural emotions, yet where feelings and thoughts don't overwhelm us.

Dr. Carlson is the best-selling author of Don't Sweat the Small Stuff.

Helped me look at things differently

I was skeptical if this book at first, then as I listened, I started to see things differently and I began feeling more peace inside. It allowed me to forgive and move on, instead of holding onto the past which I couldn’t change. I definitely recommend it for anyone who is going through heartbreak, sadness, grief, depression & anxiety.
I listened to it in one day, and now I’m going to listen to it again.

Expected nothing!

Carlson's book was a recommendation from another author.

I was expecting another cookie cutter think positive thoughts and you will be happy 😊

Instead I now have a greater understanding of thoughts, feelings, emotions and the impact they have on all of our lives.

Thankyou 🙏 Richard for a truly wonderful read.

In my opinion - Life changing
