Thanks Katherine 🙏❤️

It’s my book launch week, so I wanted to share a personal message. It’s been years in the making and if these ideas matter to you too, I’d really appreciate your support. Ordering now genuinely makes a difference and helps the book reach more people who might need it 🙏 geni.us/MakeLifeHapp...

Join us for a special live online event with Dr Mark Williamson and be the first to learn the insights from his new book ‘Make Life Happier’ which is out this week. It’s 7pm UK time today (Mon 20 April) hosted by Dr Sian Williams. Book here: actionforhappiness.org/talks @markrwilliamson.bsky.social

To help yourself, do good for others. And to help others, remember to be good to yourself too #makelifehappier

‼️🧀 Warning: overly enthusiastic first-time author! 📸 a photographer needed to get some shots of me with the book ahead of this week’s launch - and I think it’s fair to say I look a bit keen 🤣 All slightly ridiculous but quite fun too. 4 days to go! 🙌 geni.us/MakeLifeHapp...

Be friendly to yourself as well as others

As we get ready to launch @markrwilliamson.bsky.social’s new book next week, here’s the 1 minute story of Mark’s journey and why taking Action for Happiness matters. ⛅️

Care about others. But let go of caring about what they think of you

Be like water. Find a gentle, natural way round whatever emerges

You can’t change what happened in the past, so focus on finding the best way forward from here

Yes exactly (I feel heard, thanks) 😊

Rest isn’t the opposite of progress, it’s the essential foundation for it

Thanks Debbie 🤗

Thanks so much, would love to hear your feedback after reading it. And please do pass on if you find helpful 🙏 geni.us/MakeLifeHapp...

Thanks so much Helen 😊 I’d love to hear what you think of it if you get a chance to read it geni.us/MakeLifeHapp...

Still can’t quite believe I’ve written a book! I spent years on this because I truly believe in these ideas. All around us we see people who aren’t at peace with themselves or each other. But by combining self-care AND caring for others, we really can make life happier together

Focus on doing what you can, with what you’ve got, where you are. Let go of the other stuff

Wow, emotional moment! Feeling overwhelmed - and very happy - to finally be holding this book in my hands having worked on it so hard for so long! Huge thanks to everyone who has supported me along the way. It’s been quite a journey to this point 🙏❤️ geni.us/MakeLifeHapp...

Great communicators paraphrase back what the other person says, to check they’ve understood and help them feel heard

Sometimes happiness comes from enjoyable moments. Other times from purposeful activities. Both matter

To focus on things that really matter, you need to be willing to say no to other distractions

Did you know our Solar System is moving through space at around 230 km per second? That means every year, we travel billions of kilometres together through the Milky Way. So even when life feels stuck or uncertain, we’re always moving forward.

Remember: People in need of love sometimes show it in unloving ways

Going by car? Remember, you aren’t just in traffic, you ARE traffic 🚘

Going for a walk? Remember, you aren’t just in nature, you ARE nature 🌱

Ask yourself: What do I need to let go of to free up space for what really matters right now?

Yes it feels good to get the thing done, but remember to enjoy doing the thing. If we just focus on the outcome we may miss the joy along the journey

Be confident enough to try, humble enough to adapt and consistent enough to keep going

Reduce stress by freeing up time. Are there any upcoming commitments you could cancel to make space for what matters?

Whenever possible, assume positive intent. This has a profound impact on how we approach people or problems

I love this insight from the science of ‘behavioural activation’. We don’t need to wait for motivation before taking action. Changing what we do changes how we feel
