Comment: One of the advantages of this book is that there is nothing complicated theory in the book. Most secrets are related to our daily lives such as habits and attitudes. Therefore, if we can really follow the suggestions of this book, it is believed that we can easily be happy people every day.

Since each of the hundred practices for happiness is illustrated with a clear example, we can understand it more easily. Actually, it is good that each story behind the examples can allow us to learn from others¡¦ experience in how to increase our happiness in a simple way.

David Niven try to encourage us to think optimistically by using the simple secrets like Your Life Has Purpose and Meaning, You Don¡¦t Have to Win Every Time, Accept Yourself¡XUnconditionally, Believe in Yourself and Don¡¦t Blame Yourself. So, each time I feel sad or cannot be sure of my life¡¦s direction, I would read this book again because the secrets can remind me that there are still many meaningful things around me. What I need to do so as to gain happiness is to choose a comfortable way to finish my tasks and be confident to deal with the trouble.

With the simple English in this book, no matter children, teenagers or elderly can also get the idea to create happiness for themselves easily. Therefore, I highly recommend my family and friends to read this book.

Summary: A Good Thing to Do For Yourself
Comment: This is a great book for anyone aspiring to heighten his or her level of happiness. It's a book that challenges the spirit, and asks the question; are you ready to jump into a life of happiness, or do you just want to sit on the sidelines? Several times while reading I felt convicted that I wasn't trying my hardest to be happy, when I was finished I felt like I knew what I could to become happier. This compilation of shorts is like a 365-day calendar, everyday a new page to gain inspiration from.
In my opinion it was an awesome anthology. The book was filled with short stories, research facts, and quotes to live by. It gave me an opportunity; happiness is in our lives we just have to reach out and grab it. I felt supported by a few of the stories I read throughout. There was a piece about religion and how you should never let your religious beliefs fade. There are always people out there trying to bring down someone's religious beliefs, this made me feel like I had someone else on my side.

The book fit into my life. It had the same type of facts in the book as there are in my life. There was another story that talked about being aggressive with your family or friends. Like arguing or just not expressing your feelings how you really feel or want to. Some of my friends tend to be aggressive and I feel like it puts up a barrier between us. When I read this it gave me insight on how to deal with these situations.

Summary: Highly Recommended by SmartDivorce
Comment: I found this book while browsing through the bookstore the other day looking for something that could help a dear friend feel better about herself and her future prospects. She is going through a divorce, scared of her financial future and feeling like a failure because of her broken marriage

This book is absolutely wonderful! It is based upon sociological and psychological research, but is written in such an easily understood manner that anyone -- children, teens and adults -- can gain insight into their own feelings, learning how to cope and change how happy they are with their life and themselves.

Of course there are 100 chapters, all very short and concise, presenting one thought-provoking idea or principal about why some people are happy and others aren't. This book isn't meant to be a quick read. It's more of a guidebook for inner self-exploration. Keeping a journal as you study is a terrific idea.

I bought the book from my friend. She's reading it now and agrees with me that you have to work your way through it, day-by-day. She's on lesson 12 -- having realistic expectations -- and is feeling better about herself every day. She is learning that she is control of her life after divorce and that it is full of promise and hope and true happiness that she creates.

This book is highly recommended for divorcing parents who are concerned about their children's state of mind. It's a great book for the parents, too.
