Happiness Tips: Finding Happiness in Daily Life

February 27, 2009 by Anthony Centore Leave a Comment

  Dear Reader, This is Dr. Anthony Centore, with Thrive Boston Counseling. I was just asked to write a couple short ideas on how to create / promote happiness in life, for potential publication somewhere (I don't even know where). Anyway, as I send the quotes out into the ether of the publication world, I thought I would also share them with you here. I hope they are helpful! Be Well, Anthony Happiness Quote 1: Many persons trade immediate happiness for future pain (example:  charging something you can’t afford to a credit card). Other people are professionals at delaying gratification, trading current pain at the hope of future happiness (example: working 50-plus hours a week). One key to happiness is to discover things that make you happy now, and will also promote happiness later. Happiness Quote 2: Happiness is often about having perspective. When something is not going well in life, the happy person will say, “I lost my job. However, I still have … [Read more...]

Dr. Anthony Centore, on behalf of Thrive Boston Counseling, was quoted this week in the Boston Business Journal. The article was titled "Married to the job: A look at the work spouse phenom" and explored the new trend of persons claiming to have an "Office Spouse." A link to the online version of the article is available here (see link) and an excerpt is provided below. http://www.bizjournals.com/boston/stories/2008/12/22/focus3.html?b=1229922000^1751012 “Work spouse is a catchy phrase that describes something that’s been happening for a long time,” said Anthony Centore, founder and principal therapist at Thrive Boston Counseling and Psychotherapy in Cambridge. “You spend much more time in the office with co-workers than you do with your actual spouse. So it’s not surprising that these relationships form.”... Centore points to other psychological benefits, such as feeling understood and cared for, trust and friendship. But there are potential emotional dangers with work … [Read more...]

Happiness Tips and Techniques: Finding Daily Joy and Lasting Fulfillment

December 5, 2008 by Anthony Centore Leave a Comment

In the new bestseller book "Happier: Learn the Secrets to Daily Joy and Lasting Fulfillment," Author and Harvard Professor Tal Ben-Shahar refers to 4 styles for how we tend to lead our lives: 1) Hedonist: Present benefit that causes future detriment. A hedonist focuses on enjoying the present while ignoring potential negative consequences of his/her actions. 2) Rat Racer: Present sacrifice for future benefit. Rat racers enslave themselves to the present in pursuit of a better future. They are masters of delaying gratification. 3) Nihilist: Present sacrifice that causes future detriment. Nihilists have lost their love for life. A Nihilist, according to Tal Ben-Shahar, neither enjoys the moment nor has a sense of future purpose. 4) Happier: Present benefit that causes future benefit. Happy people live according to the knowledge that activities can bring enjoyment in the present and lead to a fulfilling future. The 4 styles can be summarized simply: … [Read more...]

Whether it's the newly married couple transplanted across the country, or the emotionally troubled 50-something Boston-area businessman...work schedules are turning to the tools of today to find "family" for the big seasonal gatherings. Some experts see a nascent trend with growth potential, especially during tough economic times. "The more mobile we get, the more isolated and lonely people are," says Anthony Centore, a therapist with Thrive Boston, a counseling center in Cambridge, Mass. Many, especially in the younger generation, use the Internet to stay connected to friends – old and … [Read more...]
