Granted, they all have something to offer, especially if one goes in with a willingness to learn.But “Happy This Year” was one that stood out to me. Was it full of positivity? Yes. But what impressed me was just how specific Bowen was in dispersing his advice. This was more than what happiness is and is not (though that is included). This was full of specific tips and activities to help develop habits conducive to happiness.So the cherry on top is what so many of the other happiness books have: exuberant writing and feel-good thoughts. All very nice, especially combined with real information. For those who like science, Bowen has included a nice assortment of studies and facts on happiness.Yes, there are plenty of happiness books out there, but I found this one had a little something extra.

Any book that espouses positivity gets an A+ in my book!To give you an idea of what you will be getting in this book, there are chapters on “Can’t Buy Me Happiness”, “You>Happy”, “Thoughts of Happiness”, “Words of Happiness”, “Actions of Happiness”, “Habits of Happiness”, etc. Get the picture? Each chapter goes into depth about positive changes you can make to be more happy. You will learn to align your thoughts, words and actions so they create the habits, character and destiny of happiness, according to the book description, and that description is entirely right-on.I really like the advice and instruction this book offers. If you are tired of your negative, unhappy outlook, this book can really be helpful. Highly recommended.
