Imagine Happiness: A Simple Guide
Is happiness genetic? Is it a choice? Is it an achievement or a skill that can be developed? Where does happiness come from and how can it even be defined? In his latest work, Bobby Schuller challenges his reader to embrace a flourishing, happy life. Though philosophical, theological, and even controversial, Imagine Happiness will change the way you view the world, the Bible, and your own existence.

Great for a Reread!
Bobby Schuller's writing in this book is beautiful and even poetic in places. In addition to this, I got the most out of the last chapter, which was about the human condition of wanting more. Schuller described different ways we want more, using great examples such as a missing tile in a mosaic. He leaves room for all types of people, single, married, childless, etc. He gives us the chance to think of what we'd do if we had the freedom lots of money and/or time would give us.
This book is a keeper and one to read over. It has Christian values in it and a positive outlook.

Great life lessons to take home
this was a great read that provided very insightful excerpts about happiness and things to remember as we speed through this thing we call life. there are many instances where I was floored by the great analogies and phrases that I will be able to carry with me to be happier on a daily basis. I am not an extremely religious person so that was a turn off in the book, but I did appreciate the author's dedication to his beliefs and the Lord. I recommend this book because you can take so much from it, even if you are not religious. it shares many tips and tricks to maintain a perspective dedicated to happiness.

I didn't have high expectations of this book and was really surprised at how many good ideas I found in it. Many of the things the author wrote about were things I had heard often, but he presented them in such a way that it really impressed me. I have tried to use these in my life since reading the book. I go back and review the parts I have underlined to keep me on track!

Thought-provoking and not too preachy, although religion is prevalent. Some very valid concepts about happiness, gratitude, and attitude.
