To start with, I don't have problems with being happy. But my husband does. This book has many things in it that I've tried to communicate to him, but could never seem to get the idea across. I think Bryan did a fantastic job! I've already enthusiastically recommended it to my husband.Some reviewers have pooh-poohed Bryan's suggestions as 'trying' to be happy, but instead just hiding from reality. That is not the case at all! His book points out that you have the choice to either bury yourself in the depression that can be found everywhere if that is what you look for. Or you can open up your eyes to all the positive possibilities out there, and see what life can offer if only you'll let it! Sure, life is hard. Why make it harder?I think his journaling idea is a good one for many people, and could make a real difference for some, in their attempt to really look for the positive in life, and let it affect their life more than the negative.We all have hard things in our lives. But how we face them, and how we equip ourselves to deal with everyday life, matters. Bryan is talking about our attitudes and perceptions. Two people with differing attitudes facing similar situations will likely end up with totally different results.If you read through, and really pay attention, you'll see where he points out some well known people who know this. They had hardships, too. But look at what they accomplished!Maybe not everything in here will work for you. But even if you only find one thing in this book that you can use, and it makes your life better, happier, then isn't a few dollars worth that?I got a copy of this for free from Story Cartel to honestly review, and I am very glad that I did.
