About The Book

In her debut book, Carla LaBella invites you to explore the evolving field of Positive Psychology with her. She has mindfully contextualized this discussion, and written a book that is accessible and of interest to those both new to and familiar with this area of study. Part workbook, part scholarly review, she highlights WOW strategies that are linked to optimizing well-being, and shares evidence-based tips and tricks that will nudge you from “knowing” to “doing”. Get ready to explore your purpose, values, and strengths, through thought-provoking, self-reflective, and action-oriented exercises that will help you create a meaningFULL life worth living.

The WOW book seamlessly blends science and research with practical exercises and activities that promote positivity and well-being in everyday life. Part research-based, part workbook, readers are provided with both valuable insights into the science behind happiness and well-being, while the activities allow you actively engage with the concepts and apply them to your own life. Personally, I found the exercises and reflection prompts to be incredibly helpful in increasing my self-awareness and motivating me to continue implementing positive habits that can help optimize well-being in my everyday life. By incorporating the strategies outlined in the book, I am paying more attention to my mind-body connection and overall well-being and satisfaction with life.

I highly recommend “The WOW Book” to anyone looking to create space for more self-care, wanting to enhance their happiness, looking for inspiring and science-backed research around wellness, and holding a desire to cultivate a more fulfilling life. It is a valuable resource that has the power to positively impact the way you think and create a life that is authentically yours!

bendABILITY is a moment-by-moment choice of if and when to bend and exert energy and effort. It is the flexibility to lean toward effort when applied to endeavours that are meaningful to us and spark joy, and that we can influence or control, or to move toward setting limits or acceptance and surrender when what we confront is not meaningful to us and is outside our ability to influence or control. Our primary goal in life is to focus our energy and efforts on the first kind of endeavours and then learn to accept and surrender to the rest.
