Emily Coxhead, creó en el 2015, un periódico llamado "The Happy Newspaper" o, traducido al castellano, "El periódico feliz". En él publicaba noticias positivas para ayudarse a sí misma y a los demás a seguir creyendo en las que las personas buenas existen y que, a pesar de no verlos por quedar eclipsados por los sucesos negativos, existen muchos otros sucesos positivos.
A través de esa idea, esta joven británica decide transmitir su alegría y positividad hacia los demás en su día a día, pero esto no le basta y su desinteresada ambición la lleva a querer abarcar a más público y es por ello que nace este libro. Así lo indica ella misma en una pequeña nota al inicio del proyecto. En él, además de explicar sus intereses y finalidades insta al lector a sentirse bien emocionalmente para ser capaz de hacer lo propio con los demás y, de esta forma, mejorar un poquito el mundo.
El diario recopila una serie de actividades que ayudan a los lectores a darse cuenta de la importancia de las pequeñas cosas de la vida y lo feliz que pueden hacernos, nos invitan a reflexionar y pensar en nuestra propia felicidad.
Basándose en la sencillez y cercanía, Emily nos invita a realizar una serie de retos transmitiendo su energía positiva y dando ideas y ejemplos de su propia vida que animan al lector a imitarla y a servirse de ella como inspiración.
Por medio de algunas páginas con frases inspiradoras, la autora tiene como sencilla y, a la vez, difícil misión de ayudar a los demás a descubrir y compartir la felicidad en las pequeñas cosas del día a día, sin dejarse llevar por la rutina, valorando la vida como algo maravilloso y sacando el lado positivo de esos momentos grises.
Las actividades o tareas que se incluyen son: colorear mandalas, compartir frases, recopilar información positiva, reflexionar sobre lo y los que no rodean, impulsar a crear momentos de felicidad a los demás, incluso si son desconocidos, sentirte un poco mejor, ser más feliz, apreciar lo que tenemos, entre otras.
A través de la realización de estas actividades, el lector podrá sentirse como un niño ante un libro nuevo de actividades. Se disfruta trabajando en él, cumpliendo los retos y ayudándonos a conocernos un poco mejor.
En definitiva, el libro es un pequeño, acogedor e inspirador espacio que ayuda al lector a brillar cada día dándose la dosis de felicidad que necesita para sí y aquellos que lo rodean. Se trata de mejorar nuestro mundo y hacer feliz a los demás a través de pequeños gestos.
Considero que es un libro original sobre la búsqueda de la felicidad, algo más práctico que los libros de autoayuda. Sin duda un regalo perfecto para hacerle a cualquier persona.

I really like the idea of "make(ing) someone happy". I original wanted the book to gift to my little cousin who is going through hard times. (I won this on Goodreads Giveaways.)
Upon receipt, I read the whole book and really liked it. Its important for everyone to find happiest in the smallest of things and this book helps to point them out. It mentions in the blurb, sending care packages, which is something I LOVE to do. You take your time and think about the person your are sending the package to, what they would like, what would make them happy, what would make them smile and you can't help being filled with excitement and happiness.
This book encourage you to have a positive outlook on life and to find ways to make yourself happy.
I would definitely recommend this book, especially to teen and young adults, in fact, I'd recommend everyone one read it as we all need to attain happiness.

Such a cute and inspiring little book to brighten up your day whenever you need it. I also loved the interactive coloring pages throughout the book. I've just recently subscribed to The Happy Newspaper and can't wait to receive that as well. I truly love the mission Emily stands for, it's incredibly inspiring and brings happiness to a world that is in much need of it.

Good for ideas to make others happy and the colouring in was fun too, just wish they had of put a blank sheet behind the colouring in part, as it went through the other page
They say a good way to become happy is to make others happy, and this was a good book to make you think about your own happiness
