101 Happiness Hacks
The Technology of Joy reveals scientific breakthroughs that deliver joy, euphoria, inner peace, and even ecstasy! Psychotherapist and bestselling author Jonathan Robinson takes you on a tour of all the best ways to feel fantastic.
Imagine… you pop the pink pill into my mouth and wait for the expected feelings of ecstasy. No, the pill wasn’t the drug XTC, but rather a legal and safe alternative. Then you put on your trans-cranial stimulation device and wait to see what happens. Wow! After about five minutes, it feels like your brain is flooded with endorphins. After a few minutes of this frenzied euphoria, you take off the device and go about your day. Having just been catapulted into sweet ecstasy, your day becomes both incredibly productive and happy.
This is not a future scenario. This is how the author likes to begin each day. Nowadays, there are new and improved ways to feel good—even ecstatic—that most people don’t know anything about. From safe drugs to “happy apps,” to high tech brain stimulation devices, a whole new world of ways to feel good is blossoming.
In this book, you'll discover 101 easy and little known ways to feel more joy. You'll learn about methods ranging from a one-dollar gadget for feeling intense pleasure, to a free app that really leads to more depth and peace in your life.
The Technology of Joy reveals and explains everything you need to know about:
- New gadgets can enhance pleasure, deepen relationships, and help you feel gratitude—all at the same time.
- Specific apps that have been shown to make people happier and create more loving relationships.
- Twelve little known supplements that can reliably induce euphoria, elation, and feelings of connection and peacefulness.
- Simple tools that can induce advanced states of meditation in even beginning meditators.
You'll learn what these tools can do for you, and how and where to get these happiness hacks. In addition, you'll discover how to know which of these tools are most likely to be the best ones for you.

Review
-John Gray, Ph.D, author of Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus
Jonathan Robinson is a nationally known psychotherapist, author and professional speaker. He is the best-selling author of ten self-help books which have reached an estimated 250 million readers. In The Technology of Joy, Robinson's light-hearted approach to life is apparent in his self experimental, informal delivery style of "The 101 Best Apps, Gadgets, Tools and Supplements for Feeling More Delight in Your Life". The book is organized into the sections of: drugs/supplements, high tech, psychology, apps, alternative energy, body work and one last advice section on increasing your joy IQ. So there is something for everyone. Although there are many wellness and self help books out there, this is the first transdisciplinary reference book I have found. I appreciate the easy access to all the key fields in one place. He also gives you a 14-question method to help you determine whether a product is right for you or not. He uses personal anecdotal stories and experiences from his work as a psychotherapist to acquaint us more intimately with each of the 101 wellness products. Although I feel I would have benefitted from also seeing the current research or key studies on each of these methods.

Refreshing. New information. So appreciated. I run a radio show and often read book after book for the many guests who come on to be featured. I feel like I often read the same thing over and over. What a joy to read Jonathan Robinson's The Technology of Joy - it truly offers a lot of new information I was not familiar with and I found the easy read entirely intriguing. In fact so much I took Jonathan up on his suggestions and advice and am trying the technologies out. Highly recommended read. A+

To quote from the book, "The search for a new way to feel happiness or deep peace is, in my opinion, a sacred exploration and duty." This book can be a launching pad for your search.
~ Brian Tom O'Connor, author of Awareness Games: Playing with Your Mind to Create Joy.
Robinson’s approach is that there are many wonderful, simple and inexpensive ways to experience joy in your life. He reasons that if we invest all of our joy or happiness in a few hard to obtain objects or people, we are likely to find disappointment. But if we are responsible for making our own joy through a practical and diverse portfolio of techniques and tools, then we can take our joy into our own hands. Robinson is a pioneer in integrating the leading edge field of wellness technology. As our science and technology skyrocket in the new quantum era, breakthroughs are happening quickly in every field. Robinson is riding this wave of new tech entries into the wellness market by merging all of the well-known methods such as psychology and supplements with the apps, gadgets and technology tools all in one book. If it just takes a few minutes a day of investment in your self to find delight, you could be a less stressed out and healthier person in no time. And this world could be a very different place one joyful person at a time.
