Summary

We may all have different abilities, interests, beliefs, and lifestyles, but there is one thing we all have in common: We want to be happy! Happiness shows you how to be happy by adopting lifelong "happiness habits" that bring and fulfillment and pleasure to your days.

These habits will help you manage life's inevitable ups and downs; consistent practice will develop your happiness abilities and help you live the happy life you want.

Aristotle believed happiness was comprised of pleasure and a sense of life well-lived. Today's research agrees, suggesting that "happiness" is defined by your overall satisfaction with your life as well as how you feel from day to day. This audiobook shows you that happiness is a skill made up of a particular set of habits that you can bring in your life starting today.

  • Identify your own personal definition of "happiness"
  • Learn why we need to be happy and what often gets in the way
  • Develop habits that help you create and maintain happiness over the long term
  • Learn how to be happy when you're stuck in an unhappy situation
  • Discover the often-overlooked happiness that surrounds you every day

Made Me Feel Happy

I’ve read so many self-help books and have been working on gratitude so much that much of the content felt familiar, but it was presented in such a way that I felt really inspired and purchased the paperback so that I can work on the exercises. Definitely brought value to my wellbeing. Thank you!

Decent Short Book

I do like Gill's books as they're always full of sound, sensible advice and are a good tonic to the "Americanised Wooh Yeah" books that are out there.
It's good advice in here too some will be gentle reminders others just common knowledge. It's well worth a listen although for me the narrator didn't have the gravitas I would have liked, she'd be better on a romantic novel than life skill book, but that was just my opinion.
All in all a good short book with some worthy advice.

Extremely Patronising

I am extremely disappointed with this book, it is unbelievably patronising. The author seems to believe that happiness is a choice. This ignores biology, negative experiences and how life works. It also conveniently puts blame onto the person as they are by definition choosing not to be happy.

The examples they gave were extremely simplified and assume that humanbeings are unable to feel more than one emotion at a time. I mean it is possible to be happy for yourself because you got the job and sorry for friend who didn't.

My 'favourite' part was the section for those who might not understand the importance of happiness. I mean need I say more?

So in other words I believe this book is extremely poorly written. And could be quite harmful to people with mental health conditions. With that in mind I would advise people not to read it.
