 Dr. Tom Stevens' book: 


YOU CAN CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY:
"RISE ABOVE" ANXIETY, ANGER, AND DEPRESSION (WITH RESEARCH RESULTS)  

Based upon 30+ years of clinical experience, personal experience, and research,
this book uses many validated methods for increasing control of your happiness,
anxiety, anger, and depression; for developing successful relationships; and for
managing your time and your life to achieve your goals and satisfy your values. 
It is an advanced and detailed self-help book which can be understood by almost
anyone.  It can be read for brief methods to solve particular issues or
problems; or it can be used as a comprehensive, long-range self-development
program for changing your life in significant ways.  Many readers have commented
about how this book has helped them make major life changes in even short time
periods.

A unique aspect of the book's use for self-development is how it goes
hand-in-hand with SHAQ (see below).  SHAQ can be used as a pre-test and a
measure of your needs and progress.  SHAQ's results have specific links to
self-help material in the book and elsewhere.  SHAQ can help you focus on areas
that will have the greatest effect; while the book provides the tips and
step-by-step instructions.

Try reading the first 50 pages of the book to get a good overview and start. 
Then read the other sections as you find a need or interest.

Research Identifies a Formula for Happiness and Low Anxiety, Depression, and
Anxiety

The Happiness Quotient (HQ) formula correlated .87 with Overall Happinessmaximum
possible correlation  = 1.00).      (Go to SHAQ Research and Book Conclusions
for more detail)

Dr. Stevens designed the Success and Happiness Questionnaire (SHAQ) based upon
the chapters in this book. Each main book factor (such as Positive World View,
Internal-External Control, Higher Self, Self-Esteem, Self-Management Skills,
Coping Skills, Assertive Conflict Resolution, etc.) was made into a scale of
questions.  The whole questionnaire  of all scales is called the Success and
Happiness Attributes Questionnaire (SHAQ).  Our research analyzed data on 3,446
people who have completed SHAQ.

The Happiness Quotient (HQ)  is a total score derived from  a combination of key
SHAQ scale scores.  Your HQ is based upon factors found to be related to your
happiness in a way that is analogous to how your IQ is related to factors of the
Intellect.  Our research showed a correlation of 0.865 between the SHAQ scales 
based upon the chapters in this book used in finding HQ and people's Overall
Happiness scale score. In other words a remarkable 75 % of test takers' overall
happiness was accounted for by these scales.  (The overall effect size is the 
mathematical square of the correlation.)

 

The HQ also has moderate to strong correlations with Low Depression, Low
Anxiety, Low Depression, Good Relationships, Health, and some measures of
Success

The SHAQ scales had moderate to high positive correlations (R) with almost all
outcome measures.  SHAQ’s scales had surprisingly high correlations with the
emotional outcomes; with Overall Happiness, R = .865; with Low Depression R =
.730,  with Low Anxiety R = .675; with Low Anger-Aggression  R = .701.(N = 1123
for all analyses.)  For Relationship Outcomes Scale R = .693; for Health
Outcomes Scale R = .816; for Highest Personal Income  R = .486.  For Highest
Education Completed R = .458 and for College GPA R = .393.

These HQ Factors Are Controllable--You Can Choose To Be Happy and Improve Your
HQ

Your HQ values, beliefs, and life skills may be powerful influences on your
past, current, and future happiness. These HQ factors are CONTROLLABLE factors
and described in detail in Dr. Stevens  book and readings on this web site. You
can choose to be happy by improving SHAQ results and recommendations to maximize
your future happiness. You will receive your HQ score and more information about
HQ when you complete the SHAQ questionnaire (free).
