Happy Days!,
By
This review is from: The Book of Happiness: Brilliant Ideas to Transform Your Life (Paperback)
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!

Interesting ideas, difficult to implement,
By
This review is from: The Book of Happiness: Brilliant Ideas to Transform Your Life (Paperback)
I'm ambivalent about this book.
On the one side, it offers a very interesting understanding of how to be happy. The authors defend the idea of an stair of happiness. Each step on this stair is about specific areas of your life. You might be unhappy because of problems you have on each step, and this book makes you reflect about that. Also, the authors believe that sometimes if we have trouble in a particular step of our lives, and we can't make the change we need in that step, perhaps that is because we need to work at a higher step in the stair of happiness. The idea is that the higher you work at making changes in the stair of happiness, the changes you make will trigger down to the steps below. I find this idea interesting, and I think it may be true. The book also helps you identify what sort of thing is making you unhappy, and therefore what sort of thing you need to work out. That is, it helps you identify in which step of the stair of happiness you need to work at. However, it doesn't help you figure out what changes you need to make for you to be happy. Therefore, this makes the book a bit impractical. Of course, you cannot expect the authors of this book to come up with solutions that will work out for every individual reader - we are all so different... I'm just saying that one may have to work very hard at figuring out how to improve one's life and be happier. The book comes with an approach that might be helpful, but not with solutions that will work out for everyone. A lot of self-reflection is needed. So this is why I give this 3 stars. The book might be a very good starting point, but further work will be needed.
