You can get happier, says Oprah. And getting there will be the adventure of a lifetime.

Build a more fulfilling life with the practical, science-backed guide to happiness, resilience, and personal growth.

THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

You can get happier. And getting there will be the adventure of a lifetime.

In Build the Life You Want, Harvard Professor Arthur C. Brooks and Oprah Winfrey invite you to begin a journey toward greater happiness, no matter your situation.

Drawing on cutting-edge science and decades of real-world experience, they show you how to improve your life right now instead of waiting for the outside world to change. Through this practical guide, you’ll learn how to:

  • Manage your emotions so they no longer control your outlook and behaviour
  • Turn life's inevitable difficulties and challenges into opportunities for growth
  • Strengthen your family ties by managing your expectations and building trust
  • Create and preserve deep and lasting friendships at any age
  • Develop an approach to work that fits your life and brings satisfaction
  • Find your inner peace with a spiritual practice

Sharing lessons from their own lives alongside inspiring real-world examples, Brooks and Winfrey introduce practical, research-based strategies to show you that happiness is not a destination, but a skill you can build every day.

Written with warmth, clarity, and openness, Build the Life You Want is your practical and uplifting blueprint for a better life.
