Values and authentic happiness

My 31 Practices: Release the Power of Your Values for Authentic Happiness by Alan Williams

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


My first reaction to seeing the book was excitement! It is about values and authentic happiness – two things close to my heart, and I was very keen to learn something new about myself.

However, I found the book lacks a little structure – maybe it was because I was working with a PDF file, but personally, I needed a little more explanation. All the information is interesting, helpful, and even inspiring, but I found it difficult to understand the pathway. I was hoping to learn what my values are, what they mean to me, and what changes I could make to enhance my life. It was only after understanding the book can be used in conjunction with the website I began to appreciate it a better.

I love the cover and illustrations. The ‘Pause for thought’ sections are helpful, and the quiz is a great idea to give readers an opportunity to identify what they’ve learned.

Potentially an excellent book for people who are the journey of self-discovery and who are open to all the possibilities available to them, but I needed more guidance on how to get the best out of the content.
The authors provided me with a copy for review purposes.
