Tips to achieve more happiness this holiday season

According to a poll (via Angus Reid Institute), 18% of Canadians said they were “not too happy” and only 1 in 6 were satisfied with their level of stress. And with the holiday season almost upon us, with it comes, for many people, a heightened feeling of stress from what is supposed to be “the most wonderful time of the year.”

So often we focus and obsess over giving the perfect gift, playing the perfect host, or making the most perfect holiday dinner – things we believe will make us happy. We reflect and dwell on resentments and on the people and things that frustrated or angered us during the year. We are often consumed by pettiness and completely miss that a new year and a new start lies ahead of us. We all need guidance to develop the tools to appreciate our true gifts this holiday season.

Enter: Charles G. Hanna, highly successful Canadian CEO, philanthropist and author of the new book, Higher: Awaken to a More Fulfilling Life. Through his firsthand experience and decades-long research of human nature, neuroscience, and life management, Charles, for the first time, is revealing his practical and achievable techniques, tips and tools so that everyone can find holiday cheer this year.
