10 Things You Can Do to Feel Happier Straight Away

by Christopher Williams

These amazing little books are potential life-savers. Using simple text and bold design, each book meets the reader at a point of low mood or unhelpful thinking, and guides them through rational thought processes to a more positive mood and a healthier outlook on life. Based on CBT, which aims to change patterns of thinking or behaviour that are behind people s difficulties and so change the way they feel (and currently the subject of major government investment), Pick Me Ups can enable readers to feel happier, to sleep better, to do more and to feel more confident.

Reviews

[Stephen Hoffman · Rating 4 out of 5]

Some good and easily achievable tips to feel happier. The only thing I would say is he assumes CBT works for everyone in the book and for me it doesn't. That said its well written, in a humorous style and gives you ideas of things to do that aren't unrealistic if you are in a low.

A nice, colorful, little pocket book which will help you to make small changes to your everyday life in order to lift your mood and improve your health.
