My focus is remembering that life is short and making your best days a common occurrence.

I'm a writer and dreamer with a PhD in self-reinvention. (Or was that computer science?) Whether you're stuck, lost, or just looking to enjoy your life more, come join me at http://17000-days.com .

Fortunately, I also have access to the eBook edition, so I can take notes!

I "read" some or most of this book a few years ago on audio, but I really can't remember details from audio only, so I bought the book on Kindle. But then I apparently never opened it. Argh.

This was an intense book. The author really brought the characters to life. That’s not exactly to say I enjoyed it. It’s a sad story, and all of the characters were jerks to one degree or another. Well written though.

This book is a quick read. She wastes no time and boils it down to the essence. I like that.

I also like that she repeatedly recommends starting with baby steps. I’ve been in so many programs and read so many books where we were supposed to write down

I read the second book of this series first, so many of these characters are familiar. Nothing about it really grabbed me, but it’s an ok book.

I found this book in the Little Free Library up the hill from me. It’s much better than most of the books I’ve read lately. I’ll be looking up more from this author.

The premise of this book was intriguing but none of the characters really felt like people to me. I was mildly glad it all worked out, but mostly I just didn’t care that much.

Quotes by Cara Stein  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“One of the fastest ways to be genuinely happier is to develop a gratitude habit. Each night before going to sleep, list five things you’re grateful for that day. If you’re feeling really low and things are going terribly, sometimes it can be hard to think of five things, but do it anyway. At first it may even be that you’re most grateful for things that didn’t happen to make things worse; that’s all right, too. Just keep at it until you have at least five things.”
Cara Stein, How to be Happy

“them.”
Cara Stein, How to be Happy

“Our eyes and ears can deceive us, our hearts don’t always have the best judgment, and our hormones can lead us astray. But our thoughts are sacred! We have to listen them because they’re the rational part.”
Cara Stein, How to be Happy
