#HAPPYxCOOL is not one of the usual guidebooks that pretends to know the ultimate way to happiness.

The work is not fixated on the personal gathering of as many feelings of happiness as possible and does not deal with happiness or the way to happiness per se.

In contrast to the conventional guidebook literature, the authors rather concentrate pragmatically on the many subjective and objective obstacles that usually stand in the way of happiness.

They want to motivate and assist the reader to work actively and pro-actively on themselves.

In #HAPPYxCOOL the authors don't shy away from discussing many unconventional topics such as the important issue of sexuality and happiness, adultery, bad or no sex, or a partner's obsession with pornographic movies.

In a separate section, another influential aspects is discussed in some detail: the conditions at a person's workplace.

This includes, amongst others, career unhappiness, unhappiness caused by toxic co-workers or a disliked boss, excessive work burden, a lack of recognition and being underpaid.

The authors give great importance to the freedom of mind and the concept of being cool.
