I'm re-reading this one. I need a reminder of some of the great ideas in it!
So many "self help" books are filled with psychobabble and are hard to relate to real life. This book is the exact opposite. Each chapter explains, in very clear terms, one thing that keeps many of us from feeling truly happy (for example, envying what others have) and then provides easy, reasonable solutions and rational for overcoming this. It's so easy to relate to what the authors are saying - they even provide tons of examples from popular books & movies to emphasize what they're trying to explain.
Sure, there's no one secret that will guarantee happiness to everyone, but after reading this book I can honestly say that I have several new outlooks on life, and yes, am a bit happier!
