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.
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.
