Rating: 4 out of 5

There is a lot of information in this book which may take you by surprise, and you may feel a little overwhelmed. I think this book is best read at a slower pace and taking these things into consideration on a "day by day basis". By that I mean just reading a portion of the book and then putting it into practice that day (or the next)...then seeing what happens. If you read the entire book and try to put everything the author says into your daily life you will likely become overwhelmed.As far as the tips and suggestions in the book - they are very good and the author has a lot to say.The book starts out with an introduction of "what is happiness?" - all good, happiness is obviously what you make of it, and it's different for everyone.The next portion goes into gauging how happy you are. I felt this section of the book is extremely helpful. There are a lot of questions you can ask yourself to actually find out how happy you REALLY are. For example: When is the last time you felt happy?The author then goes into all the different strategies of becoming happy, which is the real "meat" of the book. Some of the strategies may not work for some people (like me, I'm not too into the spiritual side of things, so that didn't really resonate with me), but most of the strategies are solid.Gotta give props to the author, a well thought out book and written very well.
