Dr Tim Sharp is a highly-respected clinical psychologist at the forefront of Positive Psychology. He is a much sought after conference speaker and has a niche position in the media as the people's resource for happiness and wellbeing, going by the moniker 'Dr Happy'. Tim's broad appeal has seen him publish several books, including the best-seller 'The Good Sleep Guide', he writes a weekly column for the Sunday Telegraph (Body and Soul) and appears on ABC radio regularly. Note from the editor: Not only is positive psychology the most productive and far-reaching arm of clinical research, but Tim makes the most recent discoveries incredibly accessible for the busy person who simply wants proven techniques to improve their life today.This book takes years of psychological mumbo-jumbo and inter-disciplinary debate and boils it down to simple, clear instructions for the layman.
'... a refreshingly different approach ...'

The book deserves to be widely read.' NZJAS 'This collection is an excellent introduction to the latest literature on state-building in China, and will be particularly useful for historians and political scientists without much previous knowledge of that country ... this book can be highly recommended.'
