I’d have paid twice as much. Seriously, we overlook the simple things that can make us happy. I’m tempted to list them but then this would be a spoiler and not a review. So often you can read this kind of “make your life better book” and the writer comes off as arrogant, a know it all that is a real turnoff for me. Dr. Phil comes to mind. However, this book has the sense of someone speaking from lived life that I trust and I’m going to start my journal tonight. So glad I stumbled across it.

The concept I appreciated the most was that of “working towards temporary destinations.” I also appreciated the advice to change the stories we tell ourselves.Much of the book felt abstract to me. I would have enjoyed it more if it had more concrete examples or real-life stories that demonstrate the happiness habits in practice.And while what’s in the book is good, I felt there were some missing pieces. For example, there’s no discussion about how to stop comparing yourself with other people around you.Nevertheless, if you’re looking for a brief but good introduction to some happiness habits that can help you today, then this is a good book to get.
