Book Reviews of The How of Happiness: A New Approach to Getting the Life You Want

Book Review: A transformational book
Summary: 5 Stars

I quickly grabbed this book at the airport because I had a long plane ride ahead of me. I certainly wasn't expecting this book to transform my life. But it did. This book is very well written, easy to understand, and for the first time I feel like I encountered a self-help book that actually gave you substantial and concrete ways to make yourself happier. It wasn't all fluff and platitudes.

I used some of the techniques suggested in the book while I was on vacation, and to be completely honest...I had one of the best vacations of my life. I can't thank the author enough. I keep the book handy and quite often pick it up and read a page or two for inspiration if I am having a bad day. I even send it as a gift to numerous friends who need it too. (Now if I could only get them to read it!)

Loved this book. Well worth the money spent.
