POSITIVE Proven ways to boost fulfilment through selfawareness, values, relationships, kindness, self-care, flow and positivity.

Japanese ways to find a rewarding sense of purpose matched to your character, interests, abilities and life circumstances. Swedish ways to attain happiness through moderation, simplicity, balance, fairness and gratitude. TIBETAN Buddhist ways to accept life s challenges and discover value in non-attachment; mindfulness, compassion and awareness.

To byl ale blábol. nebo ne blábol - nejhůř napsaná rešerže, co jsem za hodně dlouho dobu četla. nejpřínosnější a nejvíc smysl dávající byla shrnutí na konci každé kapitoly/konceptu. Mým hlavním problémem knihy je neucelenost - jednotlivé kapitoly obsahují myšlenky, ale působí to na mě jako by si autor přečetl něco z původních knih zabývajících se danou problematikou a pak tyto myšlenky shrnul takovým prapodivným způsobem. Hodně špatně se to četlo. V tomto případě Wikipedie poslouží lépe.

I love flicking through this type of book and finding a treasure trove of information and inspiration.
His is a lovely combo of thought and philosophies from around the world all focused on how we can keep ourselves content, happy and live less stressfully.
Plenty of useful tips, thoughtful advice and easy guidelines to inspire your happy journey.

it's an easy-read, if you want to get a broad sense of cultural perspectives on happiness. If you want to go more deep into the topics in the book and learn more about how you can implement them into your life, you might find the book unsatisfying.

I like it, it's like reading an easy literature review on happiness research.
