WASHINGTON, Dec. 15, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xlibris, a leading print-on-demand self-publishing services provider, today announces the release of Women's Paths to Happiness, a new book about women, happiness, and positive psychology edited by Judy Touchton, Gayle Scroggs, Yehudit Lynn Yosef, and Neera Nijhawan Puri.
Drawing upon the new science of well-being and the psychology of women, twelve women coaches, therapists, and consultants share valuable insights about what women can do to feel happier and more fulfilled in a world of competing demands for time, attention, and energy. Leveraging the principles of positive psychology, these experts provide inspiring examples and concrete strategies for helping women face their daily challenges and build more optimal lives at work, home, and play. The authors draw on their own and client experiences in illuminating women's shared concerns, including juggling family and career, developing a positive parenting style, dealing with our "inner critic" and outer suffering, finding inner wisdom, claiming personal strengths, and rediscovering women's gateways to happiness.
Women's Paths to Happiness represents a unique contribution to the emerging field of positive psychology by affirming women's contributions and by recognizing its role as a valuable, scientific complement to women's collective wisdom. It is the first such book by experienced women helping professionals for women based on this new science of well-being.
