Back in my late 30's or early 40's, I remember listening to the CD which comes with this book - and yes, it certainly lifted my spirits! (I think I may have broken up with someone at the time and needed that extra little push to move on and find my bliss again. The CD contains messages to teach you how to refocus your thinking and steer away from negative thoughts.)
I've recommended this book and the CD to several people who have been going through a rough patch in their lives.

Really there is not much of new things I have learned from this book in terms of "The Art of Happiness". Most of this book is common sense. This is not a bad things though since I do not practice these common senses. It was a good reminder to me to what can give me a greater level of happiness and enjoyment.
Other part of the book is about some techniques to practice feeling good. Some of it NLP and some of it not. I love the technique and I do part of them about five minutes every day to post my happiness :)
What really I loved from the book is the CD it comes with. I do not know what is it, but I feel really great when I listen to it. I have other hypnotic CDs by Paul (Change your life and I can make you happy) but this one by far is my favorite.
At the end, the book is very good and simple. You do not need big ideas to change your life. Sometimes it is the simple things that can change your life. If you get the book just for the CD it will be with it in my opinion.

I thought this book was very helpful. So many books are available that say the same things but in a different way. This book was different because of the exercises throughout the book, all clearly described/illustrated. The exercises range from simple calming exercises to exercises for training your mind to see things differently. I think the reason some do not feel they get anything from the book is that they do not follow his advice. He states more than once in the book that you can't just do an exercise once and move on. You must do the exercises multiple times to really get them right and feel what you should feel from them. The CD is a nice bonus, very calming. Get the book, read it, then read it again.

I have been a fan of Paul Mckenna for a fair few years and bought a few of his tapes. Yes tapes. I am that old. With the inception of the Internet things changed and moved on since then.

I can make you happy isnt a miracle cure you have to work at it and work hard. You have to help yourself. The book is accompanied by a hypnosis file which can be downloaded from a link within the book. Now I will admit that some of exercises are a bit wacky and its a long process so I haven't tried everything, but the techniques I have tried are simple and surprisingly effective.

A interesting book that will make you look at yourself and if you follow Paul Mckennas instructions, will make you happy.

كتاب ليس سئ .. يعتمد على التدريب لخلق سعادة ،،

[thebookschico · Rating 3 out of 5]

I feel like the majority of the book was common sense, but it's not necessarily a bad thing because I forget to practice this common sense. It was good being reminded of some important, emotions-related stuff. I'll give some of the exercises a try and we shall see.

[Geoffrey · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book had a few basic concepts that you could take or leave and helps give some perspective to specific feelings that are holding you down. I applied the concepts, and while they are not some kind of miracle work, they did help to lessen the pull of the specific feeling.

[Heather Flood · Rating 5 out of 5]

Paul McKenna's suggestions and exercises are very helpful. If you follow them you can benefit greatly because they are designed to relieve stress and worry - Heather Flood, author of Purple Mist, the Mousey Mousey series and Giant Sticker Monster and Other Children's Stories.

[Sarah Chapman · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love this book. I love the straightforward accessible way it is written combined with the advanced and incredibly useable techniques. It’s really remarkable to me that Paul McKenna has managed to write a book that absolutely anyone can use that feels like the exercises are so simple you would likely question their effectiveness but the simplicity of the writing style and the step by step techniques is not in correlation with the results the reader can get. It is clear that McKenna truly wanted to create something to help anyone who read it find a greater level of happiness. I will be reading it again.

[Emilia · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book is a waste of time, I am not even sure, why I read it. It is also written in a very patronising manner aka "I know you don't feel like doing it, but you have to". I am yet to see a truly depressed person (and I have been one myself) that will want to read anything even close to this book. Also, if you are as depressed, as he describes you could be, why would you want to get out of bed and perform his little exercises and tasks? It takes more than "imagine there is a silver thread coming out of your head" to cure someone who is depressed and make them feel truly happy again.

[Helen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ignore the fact that the cover makes the author look arrogant! This is really an excellent book, using researched-based ideas, to help depressed people become happier. Highly recommended for all ages!

Some techniques were very helpful.

[Laura · Rating 4 out of 5]

For those of you who are skeptics, give this a try before you totally dismiss these techniques.
Paul has written this book in very non-technical language so the concepts are easy to understand by all and easy to follow by those willing to put in the effort.
Many of the exercises and techniques I have been exposed to in medical learning sessions.
If you are familiar with tapping or eye movement therapies, you may be more open to what is contained in this book. Hay House and Paul have provided bonus content that I will use regularly.

Are these ideas new? Not particularly. Do the practices work? Absolutely.
What's the catch? It is that the choice is yours. You can be taught any number of concepts and techniques but unless you follow the instructions, choose to give the results time to develop, unless you give them even the slightest opportunity to work, you block your own success.

I did receive a copy of this book via Netgalley to review.
I do own his book on changing my thoughts to eat healthier.

Just a quick note of Thanks for the incredible growth that I have experienced working with your book “I Can Make You Happy”. When I started your book my life was at rock bottom. After reading it four times now, applying the exercises, and listening to the Mind Programming CD on a daily basis I have been seeing some amazing things happen in my life. My job is booming at a frightening however wonderful rate. My marriage is greatly improved. My wife and I are connecting at a much deeper level. I am feeling more confident in myself, I am more disciplined in my life and all of my relationships are much better. The biggest surprise is that I have a closer connection with God then I have ever had. Not bad progress for someone that has a history of failing over and over again. Thank you so much. I owe a great debt of gratitude for the work you do.

[Lee Anne · Rating 2 out of 5]

There are many simple exercises in this book that are designed to increase your feelings of calm and relaxation. There are also good, basic bits of advice (e.g., exercise for 20 minutes a day) that have been shown to increase feelings of happiness. However, a good part of the book relies on the idea of visualization, the value of which seems more symbolic than practical to me, and I don't think I could perform any of those exercises without being guided in person by a professional; they just seem too silly, for me anyway. I did enjoy the CD, though, and I will listen to it again.

[Soban Ejaz · Rating 3 out of 5]

a good book but this will not make you happy forever. imo, Real happiness comes from the actions you do that either help others or make you happy, simple iz dat. And keep on doing those and you will be happy forever.

the things in this book also help.
