Samenvatting:

Praise for THE HAPPINESS HIGH

“I often say, ‘Happiness is not the goal; finding your true self is. After all, who said life is going to be happy?’ For that reason, I love Dana-Maxx’s book, The Happiness High. This is not a book about chasing happiness—it’s a masterclass in truly living. In the endless river of ups and downs, she so eloquently helps us navigate life’s hills and valleys.”
—DR. EDITH EGER, New York Times bestselling author of The Choice, renowned psychologist, and Holocaust survivor

“In a world chasing quick dopamine hits, The Happiness High offers something far more sustainable. With clarity and evidence-based insight, Dana-Maxx connects emotional awareness, nervous system regulation, and self-trust into a grounded path toward lasting happiness. This book empowers readers to understand their patterns and create real, sustainable change.”
—DR. NICOLE LEPERA, #1 New York Times bestselling author of How to Do the Work and How to Be the Love You Seek

“The Happiness High is one of those books that doesn’t rush you toward joy. It teaches you how to feel safe enough to arrive there naturally. Dana-Maxx blends vulnerability, neuroscience, faith, and practical tools in a way that feels deeply human and deeply healing. This book is an incredible reframe of happiness as an internal skill, not an external reward.”

In a world that constantly tells us to “stay positive,” happiness can feel frustratingly out of reach, especially when you’re navigating stress, self-doubt, and emotional overwhelm. We’re taught that happiness comes from success, relationships, or meeting certain expectations. But when life doesn’t go as planned, that version of happiness can quickly fall apart.

You’re not doing anything wrong.

You’ve just been taught a version of happiness that was never meant to hold you through real life.

In The Happiness High, certified mindfulness and neuroscience coach Dana-Maxx Pomerantz—founder of The Be Happy Project, a global mental wellness community reaching nearly one million people— shares an honest and practical approach to happiness. One that isn’t fragile and doesn’t disappear when life gets hard.

Blending over a decade of research, science-backed tools, relatable stories, and simple, actionable exercises, this book will help you stop chasing happiness and start creating it in a way that truly lasts.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Quiet overthinking and calm your mind by regulating your nervous system
• Break free from limiting beliefs and negative thought patterns
• Build self-trust, confidence, and emotional resilience
• Manage stress and navigate difficult emotions in a healthy, grounded way
• Stay present and steady, even when life doesn’t go as planned
• Create lasting happiness, inner peace, and a deeper sense of purpose

This isn’t about forcing positivity or pretending everything is okay.

It’s about learning how to feel safe, supported, and strong within yourself—no matter what life brings.

If you’re ready to stop chasing happiness and start creating it, The Happiness High will show you exactly how.

Happiness isn’t something you earn at the end of the journey. It’s the foundation you build along the way.
