Happiness Code Paperback - 2007

From the publisher

The author asserts that living in a greater state of happiness is living at our ultimate emotional comfort zone - free from embedded fears that spark emotional reactivity and cause anxiety, stress, and unsatisfying human relationships. Dr. Gary Laundre explains how to expand our comfort zone by releasing the fears and invisible self-limiting conflicts that hold us back. He describes the latest scientific evidence and behavioral-health discoveries which link feelings of unhappiness / fear to our body's naturally-produced neuro-transmitters. He explains how feel-good pharmaceuticals merely cover up the problems caused by fear. Then he shows how the special use of a simple physical / mental exercise discovered by pioneer Roger Callahan can switch off the mind-body alarm systems that result in emotional reactivity (fight or flight response). To prove his point, he offers an experiment that anyone can complete within 3-5 minutes. Dr. Laundre unveils a life-change emotional workout regimen that he asserts will allow anyone to achieve a complete emotional makeover. As evidence of his successful use of this step-by-step process, he draws upon the experiences of hundreds of his patients who have been able to dissolve phobias, release fears, reduce anxiety and stress, and overcome reactive behavior. The stories are instructive and often poignant. Anyone who desires new hope and immediate help for anxiety and stress should read The Happiness Code. It is an essential tool for both lay and professional use. For the lay person, it is an effective self-help guidebook toward greater happiness, emotional comfort, and personal choice. Practitioners will find Dr. Laundre's ideas and methods bothrefreshing and insightful. Those familiar with the works of Callahan and Craig will a
