"How to be happy" is such a gargantuan and subjective subject that a seventy-page book is hardly going to be able to offer a definitive discussion on the subject. And nor does Hutchinson claim to. What he offers is not a one-size-fits-all guarantee, but rather a series of practicable, useful, and, for the most part, easy steps for reminding ourselves of the positive aspects of our lives and reinforcing the good instead of the bad. I particularly liked his suggestion about listing the things that make us happy - both little things and big things. It's one of many fun exercise that remind us of how much we have to be thankful for, even in the midst of sometimes trying circumstances.
