  Wayne and Mary Sotile have coached thousands of individuals that happiness is a choice that yields powerful dividends, both personally and professionally.In this book, the Sotiles demonstrate that the happiest people in the world are the busiest people, those who are so passionate about everything important to them - work, relationships and health - that each category of their life is impossible to separate. This interrelationship produces a type of 'good stress' that makes people thrive.Stress can be a positive experience in our lives. In fact, fearing stress increases the odds of falling into chronic worry, depression, and/or unchecked anger and hostility. What makes one person burn out while another thrives in success and happiness? Burnout is the result of mismanaged emotions and relationships, not long hours and hard work. The Sotiles argue that one of the biggest risks to marital happiness is career dissatisfaction. Their research has shown that a person's mood upon returning home will have more effect on a marriage than will the actual number of hours worked.Everyone has the ability to achieve their personal happiness; all it takes is letting go of what's holding you back. This book takes readers through a programme of honest self-evaluation, practicing the coping skills used by happy, healthy, high-performing individuals. Readers take the same quizzes, self-assessments and exercises that the Sotiles present at their seminars.
