The Secrets of Evidence-Based Happiness
by Elliott Middleton PhD

What if everything you've been told about happiness is wrong?

After two decades of rigorous research in positive psychology, Dr. Elliott Middleton reveals the surprising scientific truth about what actually makes people happier—and it's not what the self-help industry wants you to believe.

Forget the feel-good platitudes. This is happiness backed by hard data.

Drawing from peer-reviewed studies and longitudinal research involving more than 50,000 participants, Dr. Middleton exposes the evidence-based strategies that consistently produce lasting well-being. You'll discover:
• Why gratitude journals fail for 73% of people (and what works instead)
• The "hedonic treadmill" myth that's keeping you stuck
• How to rewire your brain's happiness circuits in just 8 weeks
• The counterintuitive role of negative emotions in long-term satisfaction
• Why wealthy people aren't happier—and what this means for your life choices
• The surprising connection between purpose, meaning, and measurable joy

This isn't another happiness handbook filled with wishful thinking.

Dr. Middleton's approach combines cutting-edge neuroscience with practical interventions that have been tested in randomized controlled trials. Each chapter includes specific, actionable protocols with success rates clearly documented. No pseudoscience. No empty promises. Just proven methods that work.

For readers who demand substance over sentiment.

Whether you're struggling with persistent dissatisfaction, seeking to optimize your well-being, or simply curious about what science really says about human flourishing, this book provides the evidence-based roadmap you've been searching for.

Transform your understanding of happiness. Transform your life.
