Before this book was a TED talk, it was an idea. That idea led Agnes to spend a year living according to current happiness research, do her own academic research on happiness, and learn from other people.
Award-winning poet and TED speaker Agnes Török spent a year living according to current happiness research, and then wrote a poetry collection about what she had learnt. Happiness Is An Art Form is a reflection on what makes our lives good and how we can best equip ourselves to get through difficulty - illness, mental ill health, trauma -you name it. Török speaks about them all, with joy, clarity, and humour.
This is a book about you. It is an invitation to think about your life - your good times and your bad, your joys and your challenges. To think about if there is anything you could do, big or small, that could add more joy to your life. Anything that could make the challenges a bit more manageable. Don't worry, you'll have a whole book to help you make up your mind.
