Product Description

The acclaimed authors of The Book of Luck are back with some brilliant ideas for bringing more happiness into your life.

The Book of Happiness is more than just a practical guide to improving your happiness levels. It′s a complete makeover, aimed at putting a spring in your step, and a permanent lift to your spirits. We all know happiness is a state of mind, but few of us know how to improve our share of it. Many people think that happiness just comes out of nowhere. Not so. The reality is you can create your own happiness by choosing what you do, what you say, where you go, what you remember, who and what you surround yourself with, what you think and what you listen to.

The Book of Happiness kicks off with a Happiness Questionnaire to give you an instant snapshot of your current state of mind. Once you have scored yourself, you will learn the areas you need to focus on. There is a workbook to complete at each key stage, as well as stirring anecdotes, tips and happy thoughts to keep you going.

Just remember: it only takes 21 days to get rid of an unwanted habit and to acquire a new one. Isn′t it about time you got the happiness habit?

Happy Days!
What a great book!

If you are in need of practical advice on how to assess your life and move forward to increase your happiness, then this is the book for you.

The book has a very simple questionnaire for you to assess your current happiness levels. It follows the same format in each chapter, which helps the reader through familiarity, with the process. It is interspersed with examples from real life, academic research and anecdotes from around the world, which help to illustrate the points being made. There are 'Happy Thoughts' which really do make you think, a 'Happiness Mantra', and work books for you to work through your own personal changes in happiness levels.

Anyone who follows the advice being given and who is willing to undertake self help work through the 21 day programme in the book, is bound to become more self aware, in control, and feeling more content and happier than they were at the outset. Now, if you could guarantee people that they would be happier in 3 weeks time for less than a bottle of Chardonnay in their local wine bar they wouldn't believe you. But its true.

Happy Days!
