Simple Happiness: 52 Easy Ways to Lighten Up

by Jim Ryan

From the minute we open our eyes in the morning, we're on the go--listening to the news as we shave, putting on make-up while driving to work, eating lunch at a staff meeting, on our cell phone at the little league game. Simple Happiness: 52 Easy Ways to Lighten Up removes some of the mystery and confusion from everyday life and offers straightforward solutions for you to relax and be in the moment. Ryan suggests that life doesn't have to be complicated and full of stress. On the contrary, he shows how every day can be a new opportunity to experience joy. Simple Happiness offers you concrete, practical steps that lead you to be more focused and productive. "It is my hope that readers will walk away with a new sense of self and enthusiasm to make effective changes towards living a more exceptional life." --Jim Ryan

This book was given to me and all the teachers at my school as a Thanksgiving gift from the Monsignor of our church. It is an inspirational book that can be read over a year, or several months. I originally planned to read it over a year, using each chapter as a focus for the week.
During the pandemic quarantine I discovered that it was even more relevant and began reading h and contemplating installments more often.
This is a book that I highlighted and bookmarked with post it notes. I will definitely return to it over and over again!

The live author talk was much more inspirational than the book
