United States – September 16, 2026 – Author and wellness educator Karin Kiser is celebrating a major literary honor as her book, Happiness Unleashed, receives the Literary Titan Book Award, recognizing its engaging, practical, and highly accessible approach to personal transformation and lasting happiness.
Happiness Unleashed is an interactive 90-day guide designed to help readers move beyond limiting habits, automatic reactions, mental chatter, and social conditioning to live with greater awareness, intention, energy, and joy. The book builds on concepts introduced in Kiser’s earlier work, Unplug Your Robot, while transforming those ideas into a structured daily practice filled with short exercises, reflections, challenges, and what Kiser calls “playbits.”
At the heart of the book is a simple but powerful premise: happiness is not something people have to earn through the perfect job, relationship, home, finances, health, or circumstances. It is something they can actively cultivate through the choices they make each day.
The Literary Titan review praised Happiness Unleashed as “an interactive 90-day guide to developing a more intentional, engaged, and joyful way of living,” highlighting Kiser’s philosophy that “Happiness is a process.” The review also commended the book’s practical format, conversational voice, humor, personal stories, and emphasis on immediate application.
Across 90 days, readers are encouraged to experiment with practices involving morning and evening routines, gratitude, meditation, movement, journaling, laughter, self-love, digital boundaries, personal beliefs, relationships, purpose, and intentional living. Rather than presenting another list of obligations, Kiser frames the experience as a playful invitation to interrupt routine and become more fully present.
One of the book’s cornerstone practices is what Kiser calls the “power hour,” an intentional approach to the first 60 minutes of the day. She encourages readers to avoid beginning the morning in a reactive state by immediately reaching for a phone or other digital distraction. Instead, practices such as stretching, walking, meditation, gratitude, or reflection can help establish a calmer and more purposeful tone for the day.
Kiser also challenges readers to make small changes to familiar routines. Even something as simple as brushing one’s teeth with the non-dominant hand, she explains, can interrupt automatic behavior and immediately increase awareness and presence.
The book reflects Kiser’s own transformational journey. After years of unexplained episodes of passing out, a particularly dramatic incident during a 2008 business trip to Spain prompted her to reassess the stress, negativity, habits, beliefs, and environmental influences affecting her life. What followed was an extensive exploration of nutrition, mind-body wellness, meditation, energy work, longevity, personal development, and intentional living.
That experience ultimately became the foundation of Kiser’s mission to help others reduce the physical, mental, emotional, and environmental clutter that can disconnect them from greater energy, clarity, vitality, and happiness.
Happiness Unleashed is the fourth book in Kiser’s Dare To Be Aware™ series and provides readers with an actionable roadmap for building a more joyful relationship with everyday life.
Readers who are ready to boost their energy, brighten their outlook, interrupt limiting patterns, and cultivate greater happiness can purchase Happiness Unleashed through Amazon.
