Happiness Rules

by Manuel Astruc

About This Book

Success is the measure by which most entrepreneurs judge themselves. But success doesn’t guarantee happiness—especially if it leads to burnout. Successful entrepreneurs aren’t exempt from burnout but are candidates for it. The high demand of running a thriving business can push even the most passionate person into a state of exhaustion and dissatisfaction. Unaddressed, burnout can have profound effects on your personal and professional life. The happiness rules are Dr. Manuel Astruc’s solution. In Happiness Rules, he offers practices developed using his knowledge of the mind and our motivations as humans—all gathered from his decades of work as a psychiatrist. And these rules aren’t hypothetical; Manuel has used them himself to escape from the deepest reaches of burnout. Happiness Rules teaches readers how to make happiness the engine to success—rather than the outcome—leading to more personal fulfillment as well as being more productive, energetic, and engaged at home and at work.

Interview "20 Things You Don't Know About Me":

From his website:

After seeing the change that consciously making an effort to embrace the journey and block out negativity made in my own life, I knew I needed to share the knowledge I had with others. I started Your Next Act to help high-achieving entrepreneurs like you find the mental strength to not just survive their ventures, but thrive.

I have been working as a psychiatrist for over 20 years, the last 15 years in my private practice in general psychiatry. I also work in the addictions field as the medical director of Saratoga County Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services. I previously worked as the medical director of the Saratoga Hospital Mental Health Unit.

I practice general adult psychiatry in Saratoga Springs, New York. I work with individuals to explore and treat biological roadblocks to success including ADHD, depression, anxiety, and addictions.
