5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I needed, 3 Dec 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Being Happy!: A Handbook to Greater Confidence and Security (Paperback)
After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, losing my father to cancer and my mother to heart disease in a short space of time, I needed cheering up. I wouldn't say this book made me wildly ecstatic, but it certainly made me feel like getting out of bed. Unlike a lot of bland and overly academic self help books in which the writer seems to favour showing us how clever he is over practical steps that might actually help, Being Happy was instrumental in helping me rejoin life.

5.0 out of 5 stars if you can only have one self-help book choose this one....., 5 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Being Happy!: A Handbook to Greater Confidence and Security (Paperback)
I have hundreds of self-help books, some esoteric, some mystical but this simple down-to-earth book beats them all. This is the one I come back to again and again. And it doesn't require any complicated exercises or practice! I re-read it when I need to get back on track. And yes, after reading this book I *did* feel happier and got on with life in a more positive frame of mind. But you do need to read the book from beginning to end (it's a quick read) to get the life-affirming impact. I can recommend it for the trip to work each morning on the bus/tube. So far I have lent it to many friends and family members and all have enjoyed it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pick you up when you are low, 25 Jun 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Being Happy!: A Handbook to Greater Confidence and Security (Paperback)
I bought this book many years ago when I was suffering from depression and low self-esteme. This book along with the other books of Andrew helped me to grow in my self confidence and to become the happy person that I am today. I would also recommend "Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy" by David Burns. These books together helped me to overcome my lows and become a happy person.
