The happiness revolution – a manifesto for living your best life Ebook

Dr Andrew Cope (most people call him Andy) was born in Derby in the vintage year of 1966. He’s been studying the science of Positive Psychology for the best part of 20 years and has bagged himself a PhD from Loughborough University. That makes him the UK’s first ever ‘Dr of Happiness’ Andy started out as a children’s author. His ‘Spy Dog’ series (Puffin) has sold a million copies and been translated into 16 languages. Andy is sure that his ability to write for children has helped with his personal development books. Kids take no nonsense. They like action, humour and fun. And that’s the approach he takes when writing for adults. Andy teamed up with Capstone (Wiley) for The Art of Being Brilliant, Be Brilliant Everyday, The Art of Being a Brilliant Teenager (over 100,000 copies sold and widely known as the bestselling book on being a teen), and The Little Book of Being Brilliant (his ‘greatest hits’). His most recent titles have been collaborative; Shine (with Gavin Oattes), Diary of a Brilliant Kid and Zest (with Gavin Oattes and Will Hussey), How to be a Well Being (with Jim Pouliopoulos and Sajeev Sandhu) and most recently The Girls Guide to Being Fearless (with Suzie Lavington). Andy has two grown-up kids and lives with his wife and an assortment of dogs, cats and pigs. He’s an avid Derby County supporter so when he’s not writing or working, he trots along to Pride Park to get all depressed. Professor Paul McGee is one of the worlds leading speakers on the subject of change, resilience, wellbeing, and communication. His book SUMO became a Sunday Times best seller and his book on Self-Confidence reached number one in WH Smiths business chart and remained there for a further 24 weeks. His books have sold over a quarter of a million copies worldwide. He has appeared on BBC Breakfast television and is a regular contributor on BBC Radio. He has had the privilege of working with one of the worlds top management gurus the late Dr Stephen Covey and his work has been endorsed by Sir Clive Woodward, who coached England to victory in the 2003 Rugby Union World Cup. Chris Evans has described Pauls books as a gift to the world. His clients include prominent blue-chip organisations, public sector bodies and a leading Premier League football club. He combines his love of comedy and football by supporting Wigan Athletic and Bradford City, and is DIY intolerant.
