Synopsis

"Praised for its refreshing blend of humor and insight, Broken Escalators is a groundbreaking book that has already sparked transformative conversations and rave reviews from readers eager to rethink their approach to happiness and success." B. Cotch

What if everything you thought about your own happiness was wrong? Discover the eye-opening myths & research that will change how you view promotion. Mixing hilarious storytelling along with stunning research, Peter and Carolyn Haas reveal the brain games that regularly sucker people into bad moves, jobs and relationships.

Did you know that circumstantial things like money, good looks, and geography only affect our happiness by about 10 percent? So what accounts for the other 90 percent? Did you know that people who survive traumatic events often report higher levels of happiness than people who don’t? Even more intriguing, did you know that your prayers can actually reveal your “promotability”?

What if both Scriptures and scientific research could prove that the very thing you’re praying against is the best thing for you? One of the greatest proofs of God’s love is that He doesn’t answer most of our prayers!

But which myths do you still believe? Get ready to laugh your way into a whole new theology of promotion.
