This is a truly inspiring book. Dr Baylis has a warm, enthusiastic and personal style that hooks from the very first page.
He offers sound, practical advice on every area of life, from looking after our bodies to nurturing our relationships with friends and family. In short, it's good, honest wisdom about how to help yourself grow and flourish.
I was really moved by this book and wholeheartedly recommend it. It's an irresistible rallying call, a truly inspirational read.

I am delighted with this book. I had read and enjoyed Nick Baylis' column in the Sunday Times (or was it the Saturday Times?) some years ago and know his style suits me. He is practical and unpatronising and I find it very helpful. I have had my fill of the many 'self help' books that mean well but go over and over the same ground and always made me feel that it will be touch and go if I ever emerge again as the happy person I once was. His clarity and optimism is infectious.
This book is clear, comprehensive and accessible. I recognise his explanations and it reassures me and makes me feel that my happiness is important and is again achievable. I would recommend this book to anyone who is unhappy or anyone close to someone who is unhappy. It sits in a class of its own.

Wonderful
Excellent book; nicely-written, enjoyable to read; doesn't claim to have THE Answer, unlike some other books in this area; explores lots of ideas about what happiness is or what it... Read more

Happy to recommend this very sensible book.
I liked this book. It does what it sets out to do well. Bayliss's knowledge is there for all to see, but it is worn lightly, and presented to help readers. Read more
