Everyday Happiness: 365 Ways to a Joyful Life
A page a day to keep unhappiness at bay.
Researchers agree that happiness is a choice. It is something that comes from within, and you can strive to achieve happiness regardless of your circumstances. To some people that can appear a tall order but the premise of Everyday Happiness is that it takes only one small action every day to build happiness.
The start of a new year is a great time for new beginnings. Everyday Happiness is the perfect guide. On January 1, the reader makes a gratitude jar into which go notes about good things that happen throughout the year.
Each daily page features either an inspirational quote or an exercise, like try something new, take a plant to work, compliment someone, or embrace a color. On December 31, the jar is emptied and reread, bringing a new perspective, reminders of happy times, and hope for the new year. Like its companion title, Everyday Courage, Everyday Happiness is ready to use.
This little but substantial book is the perfect boost for anyone feeling a bit hard done by in the hustle and bustle of daily life.

I found this little treasure while thrifting today and it will be on my end table with other books I refer to often.
My goal is to always look at the sunny side of life, and this wonderful volume will help me do just that!!

I received this book as a gift. It is intended to be a page a day book, but I enjoyed it so much I continued to read. I enjoyed the quotes and advice in this book. I will keep this book out and refer to it often.

A solid daily quote book, but the sources for each of these quotes may need to be verified.
For example, February 4th states:
“Happiness is not so much in having as sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” -Norman Macewan
While April 19th states:
“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” - Winston Churchill
The same quote was not only used twice in the book, it was attributed to two different authors! That said, if you’re looking for a book with accurate sources, you may want to look elsewhere. But if you just want a daily dose of inspiration, this book will more than suffice.

It’s quite inspirational and I probably should have waited till you know the last day of the year to finish this but eh. Life goes on.
