کتاب مثل یه دایره المعارف شادیه، گاهی اوقات وقت خوندن کتاب حس تغییر حال واقعی بهم دست میداد و می گفتم واقعا من چرا فلان جا فلان برخورد و کردم و چرا غمگین بودم ولی خب باید تمرین شه توصیه میشه با توجه به فهرست ابتدا تشخیص بدین تو چه مقطعی از زندگی هستین و موضوع اصلی زندگیتون چیه که شادی ندارین تو اون چالش و برین همون مطلب و بخونین اینجوری بهتر تو ذهنتون میمونه، بازم بگم نیازه که تمرین شه تا شادی وارد جبهات متفاوت زندگی شه!!

This was a short, easy read with tips on focusing on happiness. No complaints.

[Courtenay · Rating 3 out of 5]

Like most of the Dummies books, this was a pretty quick read. Quick, but good.

Everyone wants more happiness in their lives but, sometimes, we're too caught up and used to our old routines to realize that the way we're living or the things we're doing are actually contributing to our UNhappiness.

This book presents easily actionable ideas that you can take to recognize what makes you happy and then instructs you on how to do those things that make you happy.

A very worthwhile book to read or listen to for anyone.

Note: Reading this book in small spurts whenever I feel I need to/want to.
