Melting pots of quotes, thoughts and just various ideas on how to improve your happiness. Not much to say about it. Not bad, There sure is some good in it, but most of it felt a bit psycho-pop and easy thinking. Not bad, but not that deep!

I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This wasn't really what i was expecting this book to be.
This book is mainly quotes and short ideas/practices/tasks knitted within it. I personally didnt feel the book expanded enough on these areas and was a bit mismatched.

I would like to acknowledge up front that reactions to certain books are extremely subjective, and this review is the result of what I am looking for in a book like this. What you are looking for in a book like this may be entirely different, and I do recommend you look through it a bit to decide for yourself.

That being said, for me this book was lacking. When I pick up any book with “365 ways” in the title, I am looking for a daily task to complete that is meant as guidance and reflective of daily growth for a year. What I am not looking for is a series of affirmations with only occasional activities spaced out throughout. If it said “365 affirmations” then it would be okay. In the end, my disappointment stems most from the “365” which leads a consumer to think “Okay, it’s one a day for a year” and, while you can tell yourself to only do one a day, it really is misleading.

I'm not really sure how to categorize this book; it's a mixture of 365 meditations, mindfulness, affirmations and quotes. Very lightweight - not much substance, although I did like several of the quotes.

If you're looking for a book that will make a difference in your life, I would advise you to keep looking, this isn't it. For those who think that's harsh, my response is I speak my truth - I'm not asking you to agree with it.

My thanks to NetGalley and Watkins Publishing for allowing me to read a copy of the book in exchange for an unbiased review. All opinions stated are my own.

This book is basically just random quotes, affirmations, and exercises, thrown together in different groups. But each excerpt is disconnected from the next. Everything is just listed in numerical order and continues ongoing. It feels more like something you'd find online. It doesn't seem formatted for a book at all. As well the text is super light which makes it almost impossible to read. Overall, this is just too jumbled for my liking.

In reading 365 Ways To Be Happy, I was looking forward to discovering ways to be happy. I was disappointed as I read through each page as I was met with things to meditate on. Don't get me wrong if you are looking for a book on 365 Days of Contemplation. This is the much better title and the material it contains is a great meditation tool to add to any practice But it is not for someone looking to be "Happy".

If you're looking for some simple ideas or thought processes this may help as there are 365 of them, they don't seem to have any particular order. I found some of the thought processes interesting and have tried a few of them and they have been useful.

A nice book, easy to get through. Mainly just some activities, quotes and things to consider. Divided into different topics with a few tips with the other items along with it.

this is not usually the type of book I read and was pleasantly surprised with it. Lots of good topics here.

This could have been a cute little book to keep you going throughout the year. However year page felt like it wasn't connected at all. I would have liked each page to play off the last.
