Happy jobs is a self-help book for those who are looking for a new job; one that they can feel happy and fulfilled about. I desperately wanted to read this as I haven’t been too enthusiastic about my day job in quite some time😒
🙂
The book consists of 23 main steps - 1 per day. It starts with getting to know yourself before trying to figure out what you want or need. This part was fairly easy for me
🙂
Then theres the part where you need to dig into your core values and gifts. This part was harder 😅 though it gave me lots of insights. I realised I want to help people, but I also want to work with storytelling, and freedom and and the environment is of huge value to me
🙂
The hardest part was the one where I needed to translate the above into a job. I struggled with this and it took me a while to get through it. As a busy mum I couldn’t get these tasks done in just a day per task. They need research, which takes a lot of time. Some exercises included meditations but if you don’t have much experience with that (like me) then those are hard too. It was fine though, as I allowed myself to take my time. It definitely took me more than 23 days to complete this guide 😆
🙂
But I did complete it! And I did find a job that will make me a lot happier! At least for a while (until I’m finally a famous author of course 😝) but I won’t take the spotlight off of this review so I’ll do that announcement some other time 😊
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I recommend this book for anyone who is stuck at their job and wants a change. Happy Jobs gives you an interesting approach with a fresh new voice that will help you grow as a person and track down your dream job!
Thank you @thenordicplotter for this free review copy!

What an amazing book! It helped me work through my talents and strength, what I really enjoy doing, and the impression I'd like to leave on the world. I'm so glad I completed this book and the exercises in December, of all months...now I can look forward to the new year and take action on steps to achieving my vision!

this is truly an amazing transformational guide!
During the reading, I felt like I was talking to a good friend or a psychologist who accompanied me through this journey. If you feel that you are not satisfied at work and that you need some change in your life and you are not even aware of it, this guide is definitely for you!
The book brings with it a life-changing journey, tasks that will encourage you to honestly look into yourself, your goals and dreams, and it will also help to boost your self-confidence, to find true passion, natural talents and values.
I particularly liked Hanna's style; simple, honest and interesting. I'm definitely looking forward to all other books she has in store for us.
Thank you Hanna for choosing me to be your arc reader and thank you for free e-copy of this amazing book. I had to buy a physical copy too, I mean look at that cover.. it is so beautiful! This way I will have the opportunity to dive even deeper into each task and dedicate myself to it more.

The must-read self help book of 2022!
Wow what a truly incredible book! The cover states that this is a ‘transformational guide’ and it honestly is that. Transformational! The author Hanna Hattson speaks in a nurturing, positive and informative voice that challenges you to want the best for yourself. The book acts as a guide, workbook and life companion - and much of what you will learn is related back to the author’s own life and her experiences which I really loved. I’ve read many self-help books over the years and it’s very rare to read one like this where you feel you are being taken on your own personal journey hand-in-hand with the author. The book is also very accessible and explains things simply - and yet there’s an incredible amount of depth to the knowledge at your fingertips. Will this book challenge you? Absolutely yes! And if you want to get the most of it then you’ll need to put in the work. But the rewards are limitless! So if you are stuck in a job that you know isn’t serving you then I highly recommend picking up this book - it will help unlock the key to creating your dream career!

This book is amazing!
It's fun, easy to read, and very practical with transformative exercises that give deep insights.
It's so well written, and I love how the author shares so many stories from her own life that are so powerful to take part of.
I only wish I had read this book earlier in life, at different stages in my life. If I had read it earlier, it would have saved me so much time, money, and self-doubt. In my 20's, before I decided what education to study at the university, or in my 30's, when I started my own company and struggled to figure out what was my natural gift. Or in my 40's when I changed my nish in my business and was a bit lost for a while.
I can't recommend this book enough to all that want to know what to do for a living! I am a coach, so I know how powerful this book will be for those who read it and implement it in their lives.

This is a fantastic book for people looking to change their jobs and seek out a happier everyday. Hattson encourages the reader to dig deep, cast aside limiting beliefs that bind them and dream big. I really liked how the book was set up to be worked through day by day. It made it practical and made the advice, which could have been overwhelming if digested in one go, very manageable, which as many people have busy lives is a must.
However I don't feel this book needs to be limited to just people looking for a new job, I believe it can also be applied to other areas of life.
A brilliant book which I highly recommend anyone wishing to find their best self and lead a happy life should read!
N.B. I was kindly sent an advanced copy of this book by the author and I am willingly leaving a review.

This book is an easy read with daily worksheet. Personal accounts flow throughout and make you feel like you are a friend with the author, that you have been/are on the same page - a refreshing approach compared with other books of similar genre.
I found I got a lot of clarity in my life by doing the activities and will revisit them again.
I don't think it's a coincidence that I landed a dream job within weeks of reading the book!
