Product Description
Product Description
"14,000 Things To Be Happy About" is the mesmerizing bestseller that celebrates all the little things that make life worth living. Any random page is an instant pick-me-up, and reading it is as irresistible as popcorn. It includes: new babies; a well-crafted chair; having a sense of your own space; a real person answering the phone; peninsulas; leaves snuggled around the foundations of old country houses; and staying home on New Year's Eve. Now revised and updated, with 1,500 new entries - the feel of the fur in Ugg boots, a favourite television program. "14,000 Things To Be Happy About" is a panacea for a new time and a new generation, an antidote to the all-too-many things we might be unhappy about.

Bought this book after seeing a photo of it on a blog. It's a great little book full of things you'd usually take for granted but seeing it written down you realise that it's something that does bring you pleasure! It's written by woman in her 60s so some things I never understood but still a pleasure to read. I wrote my own happy list afterwards which is great to read back on or add to when feeling down.
The only negative is that instead of cramming 14,000 things into a standard sized paperback it'd look much nicer in hardback.

When you need a reminder that life is still good...no matter what.
14 Jan 2009
Format:Paperback
I bought this book when it was entitled "10,000 Things to be Happy About". Just picked it off a shelf in the bookstore one day when my mom was trying to survive her experimental chemo treatments and the rest of us were struggling to cope with her impending loss. That day, this book was like a shaft of sunlight splintering a murky room. It made me remember that there are good things in life no matter what crushing sadness we were experiencing. I'd just pick up the book, open it to any page, and I'd just start reading that wonderful list of happy things. It was like a lifeline to me at times. I've since purchased it as a gift for another person going through the same experience and will be purchasing it again soon to give as a gift once more to someone experiencing their own kind of pain. Sometimes we just need to be reminded that life is still good. To the author, a simple heartfelt thank you from me.

cultivates your own capacity to be happy, and grateful, each day

this is fun to browse through periodically - i used to keep it on the coffee table in our livingroom and kids would pick it up and just turn to any page at random - and it really is true that happiness is more about wanting what we have than having what we want - well worth $10 to invest in learning to be happy with what is -

This book is so fun!
It's an easy read that I like to take to the park with my highlighter, and peruse through while the children are climbing on the playground. It's also a good reminder to do things that you've forgotten about but LOVE. This would be a great coffee table book, or a gift to a friend who's already high on life.
Highly recommended.
