Exploring Lasting Happiness: Insights from Dr Gihan Jayaweera’s New Book “Do Happy”
Happiness is often seen as something fleeting – moments of joy that come and go depending on life’s circumstances. But what if happiness could be something more? What if it were a skill that could be developed and strengthened over time?
In his new book, Do Happy: A way to be happy all the time, Dr Gihan Jayaweera (“Dr G”) explores this idea, offering a practical approach to cultivating lasting happiness. Drawing from nearly two decades of professional and personal experience, Dr G provides a framework for shifting the way we think about happiness, turning it into an active, learnable practice.
What Do Happy Covers
Rather than focusing on temporary boosts in mood, Do Happy presents strategies designed to help individuals take ownership of their mental well-being. The book outlines:
- Nine physical actions to enhance happiness through simple, intentional habits
- Eight psychological actions that reshape the way we think and respond to challenges
- Three mindset shifts that can help create a long-term foundation for well-being
These insights aim to equip readers with practical tools they can apply in daily life, whether to manage stress, improve resilience, or foster a more positive outlook.
The Practice of Happiness
A central theme of Do Happy is that happiness isn’t just something we experience – it’s something we can actively practice. Dr G encourages readers to engage with the book’s principles rather than passively consume them, reinforcing the idea that happiness is a skill that can be strengthened over time.
For those interested in learning more about this approach to well-being, Do Happy offers a structured yet flexible guide to developing a more sustainable sense of happiness.
It’s Time to Do Happy
If you had to pick just one skill to learn in life, let it be happiness. Because when you master this, everything else flows from it.
