Dr. Andy Goodman brings a new take to self-help with “Life's 10 Happiness Questions.” This book explores five different thought patterns that everyone struggles with from time to time. The first mindset is the scarcity mindset. It deals with our fears. The second is the mindset that the world is a dangerous place. This is the part of our minds that tells us not to take risks. Next is the always under attack mindset, which is focused on our defensiveness and paranoia. Then, Dr. Goodman focuses on the rat race mentality, which is the competitive part of our natures. Lastly, he discusses the idea that all people are evil or stupid. This is the aspect of our nature that is self-righteous. Not every person struggles with all five mentalities, but most of us struggle with these areas from time to time. Dr. Goodman then offers 10 questions that can help you challenge these thought patterns and overcome them. Overall, it's a great book, and quite helpful. My biggest complaint is the poor editing, which makes the book seem sloppy and unprofessional. However, it is anything but. Good read and very helpful.
