Polly Solo-Miller Demarest is the perfect flower of the Solo-Miller family. The Solo-Millers have everything: looks, brains, money, a strong, fortified sense of clan, and branches in Boston, Philadelphia, and New York, as well as London, just like a banking house. And Polly, along with Henry Demarest, a big handsome lawyer, has a beautiful household of her own and two nice, sturdy children. But one day—completely unexpectedly—she finds herself entangled in a sweet yet painful love affair with a painter.

To the rest of the world, Polly Solo-Miller Demarest lives a charmed life. She has a beautiful home, a dashing lawyer husband, and two delightful children.

The spark has gone out of her marriage, and to her own surprise, she’s having an affair. What follows is at once cathartic and provoking, and both may be necessary states in order for Polly to become the kind of person she wants to be.

You can change your personal capacity for happiness. Research psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky's pioneering concept of the 40% solution shows you how.

We all want to be happier, but our brains often get in the way. At the heart of this is our perspective – when we are too inward-looking, we become overly concerned with our own inadequacies, compare ourselves with others and fail to appreciate the good in our lives. These patterns of thinking make us unhappy, anxious and apprehensive. World-leading psychologist Bruce Hood presents seven simple but life-changing lessons to break these patterns.
