If you met the old me, you would hate me.

I used to be an unhappy pessimist. The worst kind: getting his high from things going wrong. Needless to say, I lived a sad life. I wish I could travel back in time and punch myself in the face. Maybe it would wake me up.

Unfortunately, time travel machines aren’t a thing yet. But you can avoid making my mistakes and focus on your happiness right here, right now.

My life was miserable until I started making changes to eliminate the negative thoughts from my mind. I slowly became happier and the bad emotions clouding my mind started fading away.

Now I enjoy my life more than ever before, and actually predict it will get even better every day. I find myself happy with some of the smallest things in life. Even when I’m facing problems, I still maintain the positive outlook that helps me solve them.

To sum up the book, focus on what you already have and be grateful for it, meditate, stop thinking about other people and do what you can to get to where you really want to be.

The book, however, is written in a less organized way, with a succession of individual tips to happiness, some of which are repeated as, according to the author, they're that important. I think I would have preferred the organization to separate the sections into What, Why and How, rather than habits, beliefs and changes. Particularly if the How section had more concrete things that could be done. I can easily believe that not having depressive thoughts would make me happier. And the example that was given on how not to have angry thoughts worked for anger. But the technique described didn't help for depression.

I agree with the author's whats and whys, but found his hows to be separated rather than together and more theoretical than I would like. My particular problem with advice, whether it be from a book or a psychologist, is that, if specific exercises are not outlined, I have no idea how to put their suggestions into practice. This book has a few (namely, each day thinking of 5 things you're grateful for, meditating, drawing up a plan of what a happy future would look like and going 30 days without complaining) which I admire, but putting them together and including more would have been more helpful to me personally.

I received an electronic copy of this book in exchange for a review.

I won an electronic copy of this book through librarything.com member giveaway.
The book in itself wasn't bad. It was an easy read and easy ro follow. If you want just some inspirational thoughts and need some positive impulses without getting deeper into humans soul, you can go for it. There are well known ideas, how to be happy, incorporated in the book but rereading those always helps when I am feeling down.

I liked couple of ideas more than others.
Firstly, I liked that the habit of spending time in social portals was underlined because I find this habit a growing illness of our time as well.
Second, the idea of doig things now, because there is no middle way. Eiteher you want to be fit and start today or you don't mind to be fat and keep living as you were. But then there is no place for complaints. Dreaming and setting plans wont get you anywhere unless you start to act on them.

On the other hand there were couple of things I didn't really like.
I couldn't get rid of the feeling that this book is meant for rich spoiled kids. I mean people outside the US ofen can't afford proposed kind of thinking. For example, if you don't want to work then don't, if you don't want to study then don't do it. Just do what you like. Enjoy what you have. It may come as surprise but around the world if people don't work or study, they starve. The author can proudly state that he took the 30 day challenge of taking a cold shower to enjoy what he has, but I think this was only possible because he always knew that he could return to his normal comfortable life at any time. If he would be forced to live without hot water and heating not knowing when and whether it will improve, i doubt that he would be proud of this lifestile and peresented it as an achievement. But may be it's just my crippled thinking. Coz I am a post soviet kid. Seen it all, hadit all.
And then there were two things mixed which are totally different - ignorance and inner peace. I don't think that the attitude like I don't give a crap about other people and their suffering, I walk away from people I don't agree with, I don't think about war in other countries unless it influences me personally, is really an inner peace. I would rather call it ignorance and arrogance.

This book reminds you of what you already instinctively know, but have forgotten because of the hustle & bustle of modern life. I love the quotes and there's good, solid advice here.
