[Deb (Readerbuzz) Nance · Rating 3 out of 5]

Paths to Happiness: 50 Ways to Add Joy to Your Life Every Day is a little cookbook for happiness. The author offers fifty entrees you might sample, and suggests ways for you to cook up your own versions of any you particularly like each day. Some are quite enormous, like Forgiveness and Self-Compassion and Authenticity, and might take years to actually do on a daily basis. Some are tiny, and could be tried in a weekend, like Birding or Tai Chi or Power Napping. All-in-all, a nice way to taste fifty ways to happiness and see which might work for you.

Nah i didn't finish it.

A pretty basic book with little substance.

I got bored and just skimmed through the 50 ways for inspiration. Some seemed interesting others less so, but the logic behind each inclusion or the depth behind it was missing.

Interesting

This book is a great summary and reminder of ways to take control of our own happiness. Easy and a quick read.

[Addie · Rating 2 out of 5]

The idea is nice but I didn’t enjoy the book. I think I would rather read the contents page and that would be enough for me.
