HOW TO BE MISERABLE: 40 STRATEGIES YOU ALREADY USE
Book ID/图书代码： 09700015B85153
English Summary/英文概要： Sometimes when we’re sad or just dissatisfied, our instincts tell us to do the opposite of what we should do—such as focusing on the negative, dwelling on what we can’t change, isolating ourselves from loved ones, eating junk food, or overindulging in alcohol. In How to Be Miserable, psychologist Randy J. Paterson outlines forty specific behaviors and habits, which—if followed—are sure to lead to a lifetime of unhappiness. On the other hand, if readers do the opposite, they may yet join the ranks of happy people everywhere!
This tongue‑in‑cheek guide will help readers identify the behaviors that make them unhappy, and discover how they are holding themselves back from a life of contentment. They’ll learn to spot the tried‑and‑true traps that increase feelings of dissatisfaction, foster a lack of motivation, and detract from their quality of life—as well as ways to avoid them. So, for readers ready to live the lives they want (or not?), this irreverent guide can light the way.

Randy J. Paterson has hit a home run with this highly accessible, engaging book. How to Be Miserable uses tongue-in-cheek humor, scientifically grounded practical advice, and a healthy dose of what is colloquially known as reverse psychology to help put an end to common behavioral patterns that contribute to unhappiness. Anyone who wants to be less miserable should read this book and do the opposite of everything it recommends!

Randy J. Paterson has failed miserably in his quest to create a recipe for unhappiness in How to Be Miserable, and instead has written a gem of a parody on how to cope with the inevitable difficulties we all must face in order to live a happy and fulfilling life.
