You are literally made of stardust ✨ The calcium in your bones, the iron in your blood, the oxygen you breathe - was forged inside ancient stars. Over billions of years those elements were scattered across space, forming the building blocks of life. You're not just in the universe, you're made of it
Surprised & delighted to see Make Life Happier is #2 in the most recent Amazon weekly chart for all books 🤩 Their special offer with 38% off paperback and 99p Kindle version runs until end of June. Thanks for all your support ❤️☀️ www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0GZ...
Exciting news - for a limited time the Kindle version of Make Life Happier is available for just 99p! My hope is to spread these ideas to as many people as possible. Getting to No.1 in the Sunday Times helped, but now there's a really affordable version to share too www.amazon.co.uk/Make-Life-Ha...
Chuffed to see my book cover has been updated with the Sunday Times No. 1 strapline on the top! Also turns out Amazon is doing special 35% discount on it, so a good chance to get copies for friends and colleagues ☺️ www.amazon.co.uk/dp/178512474...
Give up hoping for a better past. Focus on today. Most of life consists of everyday moments – like this one right now. The more we learn to appreciate moments like this, the more we appreciate and enjoy our whole life. We can’t change what already happened but we can choose the way we respond today
What a brilliant week! Still pinching myself that Villa won major European trophy for the first time since I was 8 in 1982 🎉🏆 Memorable moments with Harry, hope he doesn’t have to wait another 44 years! #UTV 💜💙
Had a wonderful time speaking at the World Happiness Summit and meeting up with lots of inspiring people. Such a great blend of science, insights, discussion, warmth & social connection - and in a beautiful setting too ☀️
10 ideas from my book: 1. Get off autopilot 2. Be a realistic optimist 3. Try happiness experiments 4. Make good habits easy 5. Shift your perspective 6. Build social fitness 7. Help people feel heard 8. Stay on your side of the net 9. Stop hoping for a better past 10. Build trust & spread kindness
Mental health is just as important as physical health - in fact they go hand in hand. It’s been great supporting Mental Health Awareness Week and I really like this “top 10” actions list which links so closely to everything we’ve spent 15 years promoting @actionhappiness.bsky.social

When your mind feels stuck, get outside and move your body 🌳🏃♂️ Did you know that just 20 minutes in nature can help reduce stress levels? Fresh air and movement aren’t just great for our bodies, they’re great for our mental health too
Still can’t believe this happened! Huge thanks to everyone for supporting the book and believing in this mission. We really can Make Life Happier together 🌤️ markwilliamson.net/make-life-ha... @actionhappiness.bsky.social
A better world is possible and our actions make a difference.

Wow! 🤯 My book Make Life Happier will be #1 in the official Sunday Times bestseller list this week. I’m so grateful for the incredible support from the AFH community - none of this would have been possible without you 🙏❤️ Thank you so much for believing markwilliamson.net/make-life-ha...
Delighted to see 'Make Life Happier' in this list of 3 recommended non-fiction books of the month www.lovereading.co.uk/blog/read-th... @lovereadinguk.bsky.social Get the book here: geni.us/MakeLifeHapp...
Emotional moment 🙌 Finally had a chance to go to local bookshop to look for my book - and there it was! Feels pretty special finally getting to this point after such a long journey & lots of uncertainty 😅 Thanks for all the encouragement along the way ❤️ markwilliamson.net/make-life-ha...
Honestly hard to express how good it feels seeing friends with their copies of Make Life Happier. Thanks so much for all the support 🙏 Today is also last day of “launch week” so if you’re hoping to get a copy, doing it today will make a real difference ☀️ geni.us/MakeLifeHapp...
Wow, what a night! Wonderful book launch @actionhappiness.bsky.social hosted by the brilliant @claudiahammond.bsky.social Overwhelmed by all the kindness. Huge thanks to team, family & everyone for supporting my book and our shared mission to Make Life Happier ❤️ markwilliamson.net/make-life-ha...
It’s my book launch week, so I wanted to share a personal message. It’s been years in the making and if these ideas matter to you too, I’d really appreciate your support. Ordering now genuinely makes a difference and helps the book reach more people who might need it 🙏 geni.us/MakeLifeHapp...
‼️🧀 Warning: overly enthusiastic first-time author! 📸 a photographer needed to get some shots of me with the book ahead of this week’s launch - and I think it’s fair to say I look a bit keen 🤣 All slightly ridiculous but quite fun too. 4 days to go! 🙌 geni.us/MakeLifeHapp...
Still can’t quite believe I’ve written a book! I spent years on this because I truly believe in these ideas. All around us we see people who aren’t at peace with themselves or each other. But by combining self-care AND caring for others, we really can make life happier together
Wow, emotional moment! Feeling overwhelmed - and very happy - to finally be holding this book in my hands having worked on it so hard for so long! Huge thanks to everyone who has supported me along the way. It’s been quite a journey to this point 🙏❤️ geni.us/MakeLifeHapp...
Did you know our Solar System is moving through space at around 230 km per second? That means every year, we travel billions of kilometres together through the Milky Way. So even when life feels stuck or uncertain, we’re always moving forward.
I love this insight from the science of ‘behavioural activation’. We don’t need to wait for motivation before taking action. Changing what we do changes how we feel
Feeling motivated to share this clip from my most recent audiobook recording. The ordinary moments in life are so precious but we often take them for granted. I find this ‘last time’ idea really helpful geni.us/MakeLifeHapp...
Feeling very excited to see the final back cover design and spine for Make Life Happier. And I’m so grateful for the kind endorsements people have given. Can’t wait to see the first printed copies, hopefully coming soon! geni.us/MakeLifeHapp...
After an exhausting week it’s amazing how much getting outdoors can boost your mood and sort your head out (especially with blue sky & Charlie!)
