"Truly happy people are Self-Actualized people..." ~ David Tuffley"Being Happy" is probably the shortest book on happiness I've ever read but it gave me great insights into why I'm personally happy and how others can be happy too. David Tuffley starts the book explaining that satisfying all your human needs will make you happy. Since my needs are simple: food, shelter and books it is no wonder I feel happy all the time. OK I probably have a few more needs but this book explained something I hadn't really thought much about before. This book doesn't talk too much about gratitude but there is a lovely story at the end of the book that explains how being in awe of the world can bring moments of clarity and happiness. If you want to feel moments of ecstasy you may want to awaken the observer, practice mindfulness and focus on the moment. Reading this book will give you some clues as to either why you are happy or how you can become happier. I wish more books were short like this one. The author really condenses the knowledge into just a few pages and makes his points succinctly.~The Rebecca Review
