Your brain isn't broken. It's just stuck in a loop. And this book is the exit.You already know something needs to change. You've known it for a while. Maybe you've read the books, made the plans, and started over more times than you can count-and somehow ended up right back where you started, on the same couch, in the same patterns, wondering why.This is not a willpower problem. It's a brain problem. And there's a way out.WHO HID MY HAPPY? is a fable - a real, funny, heartbreaking, totally true story about six characters who are all perfectly fine, thank you, and absolutely drowning. Pip, a rabbit who can't slow down. Grumble the badger who can't let anyone in. Wren, the woman who gives everything to everyone except herself. Moss, who stopped hoping that he'd stop hurting. Clover disappears behind her pleasantness. Finn, who starts everything and finishes nothing.You will recognize yourself. That's the point.Woven through this story is the real science of why your brain resists change - and what to do about it. Based on the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza, neuroscience research on habit formation, and seventeen years of clinical practice as a family nurse practitioner, this book translates complex brain science into a story a human heart can actually feel.Inside you will find: - Why your brain keeps looping back to the familiar - even when the familiar is making you miserable - The four-hundred-feet moment: where change actually dies, and how to survive it - What it really costs to stay - not the dramatic losses, but the quiet ones - How to start becoming the person you want to be before you feel like that person yet - A full Reflection Guide with ten questions that will crack something open This is not a self-help book dressed up as a story. It is a story that does what self-help books rarely manage: it makes you feel the truth before it explains it.The meadow is real. The path is real. And the four hundred feet between here and there? That's where this book begins.Perfect for readers of Who Moved My Cheese, The Alchemist, and Untamed, and anyone who has ever started a new chapter and somehow ended up back on page one.Read it slowly. Let it land. And when a character makes you laugh-pay attention. That usually means it hit something real.
