Case Studies

Zahra has taken her richly lived personal and professional experience as well as her deep study of different cultural understandings of happiness to offer this highly practical, concise, and precise roadmap towards happiness! Practicing the many valuable tools in this book will help you to rewire your brain towards practices that will allow you be healthier and happier, whatever your starting point may be. Zahra’s suggested approach is powerful and easy to follow! As someone who has been immersed in the field of human flourishing, thanks to my role as the Founding Director of the University for Peace, established by the General Assembly of the United Nations, Zahra has been a distinguished speaker in our annual Gross Global Happiness Summit. She touched people through her presentation there and I am delighted that her book will now reach a much wider audience!

Zahra is a lighthouse and a powerhouse with a gentle soul. The book 6 Weeks to Happy is, in essence, a great guide to self-compassion in action with Zahra as your guide. When I work with organizations and leaders on Organizational Happiness and The Happiness Sweet Spot as a motor for success, Compassion in Action is an essential pillar. The fundamental platform for cultivating a culture of compassionate leadership in organizations is awareness and self-compassion for every leader. I don't think you can have real leadership without compassion. Here is a practical guide and a roadmap to create that fundamental awareness. I love how Zahra shares her personal stories and insights. And the focus on energy and flow is great I think. Highly recommended.

This is music to my ears! 6 Weeks to Happy is a pathway to the most passionate yearning of human beings — the attainment of happiness — across time and space. This journey inward, this call to return to our native source in our search for happiness, honors the vital claims of the many elements that make us who we are — our physical, social, emotional, spiritual dimensions. Zahra Karsan dives deep into the inner self and presents a roadmap to discover true joy and abundance. I commend Ms Karsan for this compelling invitation to the ultimate.

Bringing together many fields of study in the search for happiness and wellbeing, Zahra has pulled together a clear set of tools to help retrain your brain and body back to its natural state of calm. You’ll discover the why and how of happiness that has eluded so many of us for so long. Going deeper into self healing, you’ll learn the techniques to better understand yourself and what you really need to feel your best. Finding peace as we live busy and productive lives never felt possible before but it does now. Follow this easy 6 week road to happiness and you will find better health, a profound sense of inner peace and deeper connection with yourself, with others and with the world around you.

It is with tremendous pride and a happy heart that I have both the honor and the privilege in which to provide my book endorsement to Zahra Karsan on her latest and greatest body of work thus far - 6 Weeks to Happy. I have immense respect for Zahra and all that she continues to tirelessly do within the realm of inspiring others. Zahra is internationally recognized and globally sought out for her multitude of dynamic skills and talents as it relates to her passion for raising the collective consciousness for all of humanity. Zahra is quite notably one of the top-ranked authentic messengers for the happiness narrative. This is a woman who is conscientious and deliberately intentional with living in her own happiness as an evolved, self-empowered human being. Zahra's contributions to the overall collective and for the benefit of all are both innumerable and immeasurable! I, for one, am profoundly impacted and consistently enlightened by Zahra! 6 Weeks to Happy is not only a must read book...it is the gift that keeps on giving. I highly recommend that this particular book be on the bedside table of those who are genuinely seeking inner bliss, emotional equilibrium, and should often be re-read by those who are committed to nurturing, cultivating and preserving their inward happiness journey! Your current, daily and future self will thank you!
