This book can’t change your life, but you can.

We all want the people we love to be happy – and most of us long to feel more at peace with ourselves. In this practical and encouraging guide, Dr Mark Williamson, CEO of Action for Happiness, shares 23 proven ways to make life happier for yourself, your loved ones and the wider world.

Drawing on fifteen years of working closely with leading experts in wellbeing – from psychology and neuroscience to timeless human wisdom – Mark offers simple, science-backed steps to help you feel better, strengthen your relationships and create positive ripples in the world around you. Mark isn’t a guru; he’s a ‘happiness engineer’ who has road-tested these ideas in real life with thousands of people – and in his own journey from burnout to purpose.

Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all formula, Make Life Happier shows you how to run your own ‘happiness experiments’ and discover what works best for you – whether that’s quieting your inner critic, building healthier habits, becoming a better listener or contributing to your community.

This book is more than a guide to feeling better; it’s an invitation to join a growing movement of people choosing to live differently. Because lasting happiness comes not just from caring for ourselves, but from caring for each other. Whatever your situation, you can do something – and you can start today.
