I could not have chosen this book at a better time. I am aging not so gracefully, bummed out about the latest job fail, and wondering how I could bring more joy into my life. This book provided so many tips. Many I do. Others I had forgotten, and some I had never considered. I am in the process of making many life changes, and plan to incorporate as many of these secrets as possible. In fact, I read most of this book while waiting for an unexpected tire change. I was not happy, as I am between jobs, and this tire had been fixed several times already. But as I read this book online via my library's website through my Ipad and compliments of free wireless from NTB Tire, I felt myself relax, and really get into this book. When I finished, I felt differently, and realized that I could not control situations, but how I handled them. Plus, getting back into reading real books versus clips of fast food Internet information has felt really good. I plan to keep up the habit of reading books more often. This book is a good read, whether you are searching for ways to be happy, or just want to tweak the wonderful life you already have. Be warned; you will not want to put down the book before the end.

I'm intrigued with happiness. So much so that I pick up any book I see about happiness at the library and I'm always adding new books on happiness to my Amazon wish list.
How could I pass up this cool e-book at my public library, then?
Of course, I couldn't.
And I'm very glad I didn't. Niven focuses on one hundred ways research has shown that happy people are different from unhappy people. The differences are striking and it is surprisingly easy to emulate happy people.
I plan to acquire a copy of this book for myself. ( )

Most of the stuff in here seems pretty obvious, but I think a lot of people lose focus on the things they find important. In my opinion, this book helps us reprioritize. Certainly a book that can be reread when you feel a lack of direction in your life. ( )

Happiness. It’s what people say they want more than anything else in life. The single most important idea I carried away from this book was that most of people’s happiness comes from having relationships with other people. ( )

Light read sprinkled with statistics. Nothing particularly mind-changing, though. ( )
