What I really like about the books in this series is that each one offers a selection of strategies (10 in this book)that allow you to jump in wherever you feel you can get the most benefit. Like the other books in this series "How to Be Happier" is a blueprint but it isn't at all rigid in how you apply it. Basic theory followed by a selection of strategies you can apply where you see fit allows you to customize the process to your liking, making it immediately useful whatever your current situation may be.Starting with a happiness "quiz" to help you get clear on what happiness is for you and how much you have of it in your life right now and then moving onto some basic principles and background on happiness, the book concludes with 10 easy to apply yet effective strategies to increase your levels of happiness.The author poses an interesting question, can happiness be learned? According to the author the answer is yes and she provides some useful ideas and strategies to help you do just that.If you have read any of P Seymours books before you know they are all simple & practical guides that always deliver what the title promises. She has an engaging and very friendly writing style that reflects her personal experiences on the topics she writes. This is not someone who is merely preaching a solution but rather someone who is offering strategies and insights into life's challenges based on her own real world experiences. And it shows in the topics she writes about and how she writes about them.If you are struggling right now with finding enough (any) happiness and feel a bit lost and overwhelmed by things you should take a look at this book.
