And whenever I was feeling down he'd send me a text of something I should be happy about. This book has helped me with so much. Just flipping threw it puts a smile on my face. One day I decided I should get a copy, and so I did. Best ten bucks I've ever spent. I keep it in my purse at all times. This is a must have book for everyone in my opinion. This book makes me happy. I don't think of every item on this book's list as a personal happy thing for me, but no one is going to.
Not everyone has the same experiences. So I think it's silly to judge this book on the fact that you can't relate to every single thing listed. I still open this book and skim down the pages and find things that cheer me up plenty.
There are scribbles and highlighting in my copy from where I've marked the things I really relate to. Furthermore, this book has inspired me to start my own list of happy. Which I would suggest doing to everyone.
It's a book worth owning, to sit around in an easily accessible location in your house. A book that must exist in every bookshelf of every library of every person in the world. It's a book that helps us become more and more optimistic, and open to ourselves and to others. It makes us think about life, love, friendship, who we are, who we used to be, and how we will be able to achieve even our greatest dreams by finding happiness in daily routine, in everyday life. I liked how many references are about foods and sweets.
A good meal makes the stomach happy and the heart. I promise you that it will light up your mood. To a great extent. UGHHH I wanted to buy this for so long and when I finally found it in the bookshop was super disappointed, it's just a list of totally random things :S some things are even weird and I don't know why they were there.
So, I haven't read the whole book and the "date I finished this book" I entered in the GR database is as random as it can be. I've kept it on my nightstand for almost 20 years now and pick it up whenever I feel a little blue. Sometimes it works - that is, it puts a smile on my face - and sometimes it doesn't.
