The Happiness Trap
Harris, Russ
All you have to do is set aside some time on a regular basis to force your brain to think positively about the future. Which, if you are not very optimistic, you may recognize as precisely what your brain is not doing enough of. Actually, you probably don’t even need to write, but having the journaling exercise helps focus your thoughts. Structured journaling exercises can help us learn to be more optimistic, which in turn can help us manage stress.
