Uităm să fim fericiți, iar ăsta e un adevăr deopotrivă foarte trist. În căutarea unui loc de muncă, în căutarea unei case mai mari, a unor mașini mai luxoase, a unor vacanțe mai exotice, părinți își doresc din ce în ce mai mult ca ai lor copii să aibă performanțe deosebite et cetera. Am devenit prea ocupați, prea absenți, pentru a da importanță componentei care le face pe cele de mai sus să merite osteneala: fericirea. Uităm, fraților, să fim fericiți. Și nu că ar fi un lucru greu să fim fericiți - dimpotrivă -, dar mereu lăsăm acest aspect deoparte că, deh, „am timp mai târziu să fiu fericit, acum am de făcut treburi care, la o adică, să mă facă fericit.” Și, totuși, cât să mai răbdăm până să atingem acea fericire la care, prin ceea ce facem, râvnim? O lună? Un an? O viață?

“Change what you can change. Accept what you can’t change. And learn to be wise enough to know the difference.”

[Princess Zainoo · Rating 3 out of 5]

كتاب خفيف ، كأغلب كتب التنمية محتوى الكتاب ليس جديد.

قرأت النسخة المترجمة من الكتاب

‘إذا كنت تقوم بتغييرات إيجابية صغيرة على نحو منتظم، فسوف تحصد في النهاية ثمار التغيير الحياتي الكبير. إن ترسيخ عادات جديدة يستغرق أربعة أسابيع على الأقل، ويتطلب من جانبك التكرار والالتزام’

‘ إن الشعور بالسعادة يمكن أن يتراكم بداخلك شيئاً فشيئاً ، إن المجهود القليل الذي تبذله اليوم سوف يمكنك من قطع شوط كبير غداً ’

‘ أكبر مساحة متاحة لك في العالم هي مساحة تحسين ذاتك ’

‘ المستقبل ليس مسألة حظ، وإنما مسألة اختيار،إنه ليس شيء ننتظره، ولكن شيء نحققه ’

رغم أني لا اقرأ في كتب التنمية البشرية كثيراً إلا أني وجدت أغلب ما إحتواه الكتاب مكرر في كتب أخرى من نفس تصنيفه..

الكتاب يحتوي على 100 طريقة او نصيحه للسعادة قسمها إلى خمسة أقسام :

1- 20 طريقة لترسيخ عادات السعادة
2- 20 طريق للحصول على جسد سعيد
3-20 طريقة لتكوين علاقات افضل
4-20 طريقة لعقل أكثر إيجابية
5-20 طريقه للتخطيط لحياة سعيدة

أسلوب الكتابة كان ممل جدا لكنه يعد السلبية الثانيه بعد التكرار و الأخيرة فالكاتب وضع للقارئ قصص و اقتباسات ملهمه لابد من شكره عليها، قراءة ما يهمك هي القراءة التي اتخذتها في هذا الكتاب، قرأته رغم إيماني الجازم بأن الطرق المئة لن تجلب السعادة مالم نعلق الإيمان بالله و نسير على ذلك الإيمان ، كتاب انصح الجميع بالاطلاع عليه

I really liked this book! There are 100 pieces of advice for being happy, for having a better life, and so on.
Not all advice work for me, and that's why I gave it 4 stars, but there are a lot of good advice and I learned a lot of things. I will read it again, but this time I will take it step by step.
I recommend it to everyone!

[Elena Cata · Rating 3 out of 5]

I am referring at this book as a kindly reminder of the things we are supposed to do in order to be happy. Most of them we are already doing them, but there are some tricky ones too.. It was a nice book however

Just common sense really

[Danita · Rating 2 out of 5]

Pretty basic stuff. Got some ideas that I will try. Written in small chapters so easy to read, lean and implement

[Yvette Bennett-Wright · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it!! Everyone should have this book. I am going to buy some and randomly send them to friends.

[Jolanta · Rating 5 out of 5]

Real, practical jewel. Every sentence is worth memorizing. I keep it at my bedside and read it over and over. Recommend for every reader 100%!

[Mike Lloyd · Rating 5 out of 5]

This little book is a great introduction to the concept of practicing happiness. I went 55 years before I stumbled upon the realization that our happiness is almost entirely dependent on how we think about ourselves and the world. You can cultivate greater happiness by practicing mindfulness and by training yourself to think positively. But be warned, changing how you think requires work and discipline.

I highly recommend that you begin to build these habits by daily reading one or two pages from a nice and simple book like Timothy's. This can take less than two minutes each day. Certainly, you can invest two minutes each day in an effort to be happier? Then as you find yourself becoming hopeful about the change that is occurring within you you will seek out more information on how mindfulness can make you happier.

قرأته قبل ثلاثة أعوام ، استمتعت بقراءته حينها إلا اني حين أعدت قراءته من جديد وجدت أن أغلب المعلومات التي تحتويه مكررة في كثير من كتب تطوير الذات و أسلوب الكاتب جدًا ممل إلا انه سهل و بسيط و حجمه محدود و مناسب للمبتدئين بالقراءة و الذين سرعان ما يشعرون بالملل و الضجر ، هذا الكتاب مناسب لهم لأنه يحتوي على معلومات أساسية ! و لست ملزمًا بقراءته كاملًا حتى تصل المعلومات التي يريد الكاتب إصالها .
- الغلاف : النسخة المترجمة للعربية- غلافها جدًا سيء للأسف!

[Suxu · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book reminds me the simple and helpful things for happiness living. Good to read sometime when you want to have the reminder for happy life.
Actually, I'm not a big fan of this, but good to read.

[Zina Selmani · Rating 4 out of 5]

Easy commute lecture, with lots of small to dos and tiny ideas on how to invite happiness into your life. Takes an hour, useful for trains or planes.

*Creierul eliberează endorfine - aceiași neuroemițători care ne fac să ne simțim în al nouălea cer când ne îndrăgostim.
* A fost demonstrat clinic că râsul relaxează corpul, îmbunătățește funcționalitatea mentală, îți crește imunitatea, te aproprie de ceilalți și, bineînțeles, îți susține moralul.
* Cele trei lucruri după care tânjim cel mai mult în viață - fericirea, libertatea și liniștea sufletească - sunt întotdeauna atinse dacă le oferim altcuiva. Oferă și fără îndoială că vei primi.
* Fericirea nu este o rază de lumină ce strălucește peste noi din ceruri, încălzindu-ne viețile în licărirea blândă a întâmplărilor norocoase.
* Navighează departe de portul siguranței. Prinde alizeele în pânzele tale. Explorează. Visează. Descoperă. - Mark Twain
* Consumul de alcool este un factor deprimant și, desigur, nu e bun pentru fericirea ta.
* Dacă refuzi să ierți, perpetuezi condiția ta de victimă: pentru că în fiecare minut în care ești trist sau supărat pierzi un minut în care ai putea fi fericit. Iertarea nu înseamnă pur și simplu să uiți ce a făcut cineva, să ierți sau să scuzi acțiunile lui, având încrederea irațional în judecata lui, renunțând la drepturile tale legale sau împăcându-te cu cineva, în cazul în care acel om pune în pericol siguranța sau sănătatea cuiva. Cu alte cuvinte, iertarea este condiționată de menținerea drepturilor și sentimentelor tale.

This is a self-help book with 100 ways to be happy. And did it live up to its justice? Well, yes.

There is nothing in this book that will get you going like 'WOW!'. Most of these tips are reminders, things you probably had already known, just forgot about, which the exception of a few really good tips.

I bookmark pages when I read these types of books, so I'm going to tell you some tips that I think are great, without any spoilers :D :
tip #24 tip #67
tip #35 tip #95
tip #62 tip #100
These are just my personal favourites and might be different from yours.

Overall, if you need some reminding that you can still be happy when you're in a depressing situation, then I do recommend this book. It also won't take long to read, for those who don't particularly like reading :)
