What if the secret to happiness isn’t about finding it—but about letting it go? In a world obsessed with success and self-improvement, the relentless pursuit of happiness often leaves us feeling more anxious and unfulfilled. The truth is, real contentment begins when we stop chasing and start living.

In Stop Chasing Happiness, Frank Martela, PhD—Finland’s leading happiness expert and internationally bestselling author—offers a refreshing perspective on well-being. Finland has been ranked the happiest country in the world eight years in a row, and Martela has shared the Finnish approach to happiness with global audiences through outlets like Fox News, The New York Times, Scientific American, and New Scientist. Now, he brings that wisdom directly to you.
Drawing on cutting-edge psychological research, philosophy, and his own personal experiences, Martela reveals why our fixation on happiness and achievement often makes us miserable. Instead of measuring your worth by possessions or obsessing over what others think, this book invites you to unlearn the habits that hold you back. It’s about freeing yourself from the pressure of what you “should” do, embracing life as it is, and pursuing what truly matters to you.
Through Martela’s unique blend of science and storytelling, you’ll discover the courage to break free from societal expectations, the serenity to accept life’s unpredictability, and the energy to follow your own values with purpose. Stop the anxious chase—you’ve already arrived. Happiness isn’t a destination; it’s a way of living. Accept the past, savor the present, and work toward a better future. It all starts here.
