Welcome to Litsy!

I read this one for a book club with one of my favorite Podcasters/ Patreon creators - Laura Tremaine of the 10 Things To Tell You podcast. There were lots of great tips and the writing style was easy to read. Some of it seemed too basic, but overall I enjoyed it. 3.5 ⭐️

June 1st 2019 Wow! It has been a long haul ( jk not really ) and I finally got a chance to complete the book. Neil Pasricha is a very talented author and sounds like a genius. You can tell he cites sources and knows what he is talking about. Obviously a person might not agree with everything he says but he does talk sense. Great read. Definitely would recommend if you enjoy comedian-like books and humor neil@globalhappiness.org

May 15, 2019 So far i have read up to page 132 out of 269. The book has a total of 269 pages and i am almost half way done. So good. Stay tuned

May 13, 2019 Happy May!!! I have been M. I. A. because i have yet to have found a good book. As i was scrolling through Youtube, I watched a book haul by one of the people I like watching and she recommended the book above as one of the best self help books. Self help books are one of my favorite genres in addition to Young Adult. So far i have read the first chapter in this book. Will plan on finishing and have a review later. Peace ✌🏻

A book about what it takes to be happy, from the authors perspective. Really good insights into our understanding of what happiness is, our aspirations towards achieving it and what we can do in our day to day (at work) to be more happy. It's a good read but I can't say the book is a breakthrough in human psychology or that the author compiled a lifetime of research to write this book. I recommend nonetheless, but don't expect a masterpiece.

I really enjoyed The Book of Awesome, so I picked this one up because I loved Neil's writing style. Has anyone read it? Would love to hear your thoughts!

I was worried this audiobook would be a bit too self-helpish for my taste, but it was better than I expected. The first third was definitely the best part.

This book had some nice points that I will try my darnedest to remember... Read it by audio then checked out the ebook to read it again (cause well audiobooks are in one ear and out the other for me unfortunately). Mostly reread it to avoid the other book I have going which is not going well😜

So in the last few days I have had some success listening to non-fiction self-help books. Ironically, I have not had success with audiobooks of any type or self-help print books in the past but hey, I am going with it. And I an enjoying this audiobook so far so I consider that a success!

Really does make you think, even though the ideas are simple. And, who doesn't want to be happier?? 😉😊🙂🙃☺️😜😝

I've dipped in and out of this book over the past few weeks and have really enjoyed it. Simple but wise words here.

When you're packing and go through all your old magazines to rip out the book pages.

LOTS of highlighting happening in this book.

Happiness equation revised: want nothing + do anything + carry around a Litsy spoiler wallet (thanks to @todd ❗️). This book opened my eyes to easy things I can do to be happy every day.

Heller dishing some serious wisdom to Vonnegut. (Oh, to be a fly on the wall for their whole conversation. Now, that would be happiness.)
