This book is filled with simple, straight forward approaches to focusing your life in a more positive direction.  In my experience simplicity is often filled with great wisdom and insight and that applies to the pages of this book (for the most part).  It is in an easy-to-read format and encourages direct application of principals by adding a journal assignment at the end of most of the chapters.  I would argue that what the author is describing is "joy" and not "happiness".  Happiness is dependent much more on circumstances, while joy is an internal state set apart from circumstances.  I don't truly believe that it is possible to be happy all the time, while it is possible to find constant joy.
