I thought I was up to speed on this subject and have read many books and blogs/articles on the power of happiness and a positive mental attitude, but Frederica's book has given me a whole new and refreshing outlook on what is a hugely important foundation stone to a successful life. Without happiness and appreciation we are nothing, and Frederica brings it all to life wonderfully!
Its an easy read and contains many appropriate and thought provoking quotations. The sprinkling of Fred's favourite Italian dishes is a real bonus! Cannot wait to try a few!
