"Original, exceptional, and fully accessible for the non-specialist general reader with an interest in aging/longevity and emotional healing from life's inevitable stresses." --Midwest Book Review

With so many competing voices, how do you know what's for real, what's just a trend, and what will actually be helpful for you? Dive into an accessible field guide for better emotional, mental, and spiritual health--based on an expert psychologist's in-depth research

Whether you're looking for more joy in your life or sustainable ways to thrive in hard times, Lasting Wellbeing will help you assess your well-being in five essential dimensions and identify which research-backed practices will open up your life to long-term happiness, clarity, and peace of mind.

Drawing on data collected from more than 10,000 people across 25 countries, psychologist Matt Bloom distills three decades of research into clear, science-backed strategies for coping with the stress, burnout, and anxiety in our increasingly demanding world. Explore dozens of practices to build a tailored wellness toolkit that will empower you to:
  • Boost resilience and cognitive flexibility with exercises like conscious disobedience or strategic self-distancing
  • Reengage your focus in positive, meaningful activities through mental tricks like temptation bundling or mental contrasting
  • Uphold your core convictions through dedicated practices like centered prayer or drafting a table of contents for your autobiography
  • Cultivate daily calm and release stress through walking meditation or breathing exercises
  • Create joy by learning to more intentionally savor moments of wonder and pleasure

Today, prioritizing self-care can take many forms. Lasting Wellbeing isn't a one-size-fits all wellness approach--it's a repository of time-tested, easy-to-adopt mental health practices, and a guide to finding your individual path to true wellbeing.
