Ten Times Happier: A Guide to Letting Go is a warm, no-nonsense self-help paperback from psychotherapist and Sunday Times bestselling author Owen O'Kane. Written for anyone overwhelmed by modern life's constant pressures, it distils years of clinical experience into a clear roadmap for change. Drawing on CBT, mindfulness and interpersonal therapy, O'Kane targets ten key areas where we get stuck, offering practical, evidence-based exercises rather than vague platitudes, so readers can start letting go and living more calmly straight away.. About the Book. Modern life is relentless: work deadlines, family demands, money worries and endless notifications keep our minds cluttered and our stress levels high. In Ten Times Happier, Owen O'Kane argues that much of this suffering comes from getting mentally stuck in ten common traps, and he devotes a chapter to each. Readers learn to stop replaying past regret, to recognise unhelpful thoughts as passing mental events rather than facts, and to set boundaries that ease the strain of difficult relationships. There are practical tools for managing worry without slipping into avoidance, strategies for swapping harmful habits for constructive routines, and guidance on planning for the future without catastrophising. Rather than offering abstract theory, O'Kane translates real techniques from CBT, mindfulness and interpersonal therapy into short, actionable exercises that fit around a busy life.

Each chapter builds toward a simple aim: helping readers decide, with clarity rather than guilt, what to let go of so they can move forward.. Ten focused chapters tackling the specific areas we most commonly get stuck in. Evidence-based tools drawn from CBT, mindfulness and interperson
