Easy, simple techniques to improve your life
This little book is full of scientifically documented, common-sense techniques to improve your general mood and outlook on life, whether you are already a happy-enough person or someone who struggles with depression and low self-esteem. Abraham Lincoln is said to have said something like: "Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." This book can help you change your mind and your behavior to experience more happiness, more often, regardless of the actual circumstances of your life. Because there are 100 of them, even taking a few of these suggestions can make a big difference quickly. I recommend reading the whole thing through and then keeping it out where you can conveniently pick it up and read a page or a few, say, when you're placed on hold on the phone, or when you want to read a bit before bed. This is one self-help book that really works, really easily. I can't think of a better investment.

You will be a happier person
The moment I picked up this book, it became difficult for me to put it back down. Flipping and reading page after page, this little book has become somewhat of a 'handbook book' for being happy. Just by reading the title of this book is sufficient enough to tell you what to expect. Written by David Niven, Ph.D, this book is hardly those type of textbook styled books that people with PH.Ds usually pen out. Niven makes this book very reader friendly with simple English written to express some intense ideas. He talks about the simple things in life that we have either intentionally or unintentionally ignored that are right infront of us and we make noise and become unhappy about it. He illustrates life's little secrets with titles like Believe In Yourself, Pay Attention. You May Have What You Want, Laugh, Knows What Makes You Happy and Sad and among many other titles.
There's nothing complicated about this book, which makes it such a wonderful read. It a fun and practical book filled with simple little secrets of how happiness can easily be yours forever. From simple explanations to detailed examples, this handy book teaches how you can have fun in your life instead of worrying over everything and nothing at the same time.
Forget about reading psychological, sociological and all that other '-ological' books. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of this book. You'll be a happier person.
