This guide includes delicious Free Ice Cream… No it doesn't, sorry to dissapoint you. But I promise if you keep reading you will get something better… And no, you are not going to get two ice creams. Happiness is a widely discussed topic, and still it is quite disconcerting. In fact, many sociological studies show that most people have no idea what it is that makes them happy. According to a poll taken by psychiatrist Robert Waldinger about what the most important goals were in life for today's young people, 80% of the respondents said 'being a millionaire.' And not only that, half of them also wanted to be famous. So we work hard to get those things but, are they actually the most important in life for our happiness? In addition. for a long time, it was also said that positive thinking was the key to happiness. Well, sorry to dissapoint again but it is not. As the entrepreneur Nat Ware The first step to being happy is to understand why we can often become unhappy. There is no magic pill for true happiness, at least nothing that will last in the long run. Happiness is an emotional process that can be learned if we understand the primary factors that determine it. Giving you a better understanding of happiness will actually help you to make yourself happier, but this undoubtedly requires a lot of work, effort and determination.

Why we are so unhappy? Picking up this book, I expect to read something that can change my attitude toward happiness and life in general. The introduction is quite magnificient and hopeful. Let's see if my expectation is met. :)

I liked this book because it was short, sweet and to the point. Complex topics like this can sometimes provoke overwhelming information that is actually not needed. The author was able to give the foundational blocks to building better happiness. I came away with a renewed understanding and commitment. (Its not the length of the book, its the quality thereof!)

I loved the book cover.. yea I like ice creams !

Loved the introduction. I agree expectations are silent foxes which kill our peace of mind but I think that's what makes us more humane too and it motivates the other person to come up to it, if they too feel the same for us.

For me happiness is holding hands together and going for a walk, smell of raindrops on sand, smell of burning wood in viragu aduppu ( yea! thats Tamil word meaning stove used to burn firewood in olden days )

The fear of losing someone we love is human but it need not be moulded into a desperate move to make them stay in our life, coz that's perversion and perversion can never give us happiness.

Setting achievable goals, developing courage, being thankful, being positive, building a wider perspective - all these are beautifully dealt in this book.

I do agree happiness is genetic 50% but sure we can work it out, if we want to, in a better way by improving our charisma.

Relationships/social connections need not be many but a chosen few which motivate us and where we can be ourselves- I totally agree with this.

Loved this quote - "I will take care of me for you, if you will take care of you for me" but I am still pondering whether there are many like-minded people like this in today's selfish world.

Very simple, must read book. Loved each aspect of it!!

It was worth my investment in time.

A short read but points to be noted

I could have given full rating, but since the books is too short I think it does not deserve -- it is only my opinion. The book simply relates how powerful happiness is once we understand the basic and core of what it is made of. There are few more points taken from famous people, supporting his arguments. What I don't get it is that how it work out in Asian countries, he specifically talks about happiness in European countries. Anyway, I would apply what I learnt from the book, and that will talks to my family and friends. I would recommend this book for beginners who want to know the basic of happiness. Hope you all enjoy reading it. Best wishes.

Short and concise

Very short and concise although some poorly edited moments such as talk Ted, instead of Ted Talk. It also felt as if it was chapters copy pasted from another book

A interesting way to happiness

I have the book 4 stars because it was some what confusing at times.
I never really thought about the happiness baseline and how to improve it.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for happiness or to improve their happiness.

Concise and meaningful

A great guide and reminder of many things that most of us know or already read about but keep forgetting. A book to read from time to time and help to maintain yourself in a good state of mind.
