[Claire · Rating 4 out of 5]

Helpful book on how to live a happier life. I think some of the advice in the book was based more on the author’s experience rather than whether it’ll actually be the right thing for everyone. I mean, I’m really not sure people will soon be giving up their highly-paid jobs for something with a paltry salary just to make themselves feel happier. Not sure what the chunks about smoking/drugs/drinking etc, had to do with living a happier life either, they came across a tad preachy. All in all an interesting book but I didn’t agree with all of it.

Basic stuff we all should know. Well written.

Basic

There was nothing new in this book, and the information given was so basic was to be useless. Do not recommend.

Many important but often overlooked lessons in this book. I found it very inspirational and it really helped me look at life differently, with a better attitude. A lot of the lessons were simply common sense, but unfortunately when we get busy with everyday life we often forget about the truly important things. A great reminder!

Most of these lessons are quite helpful, a few didn't apply to me but most did. Glad I read it.
