The Top 10 Myths About Happiness

Most of what we believe about happiness is inherited, untested, and often wrong. The Top 10 Myths About Happiness exposes the dead ends—those comforting stories that sound right but leave us circling the same disappointments. Drawing on clear research and real-life examples, JD Arden untangles ten persistent myths, showing why they persist and how they quietly steer us off course. Each chapter replaces confusion with a sharper, evidence-based model, offering practical ways to recalibrate expectations—without false promises or easy fixes.

If you’ve ever wondered why achievement, money, or positive thinking don’t deliver the peace you expected, this book offers a new lens. Instead of chasing mirages, learn to spot the wind currents that actually shape well-being. With plain language and a calm, direct style, Arden helps readers trade wishful thinking for clarity, and complexity for better choices.
