The How of Happiness

I manage a mentoring programme children and young people aged between 4 and a 12 and have a very keen interest in research that defines well being and how to promote it.
I have bought a copy for each of the programme coordinators and expect that we will use it as a text.
A bonus with this book I expect it will enrich my life and that of the adult volunteers as well.

It's about time...

I agree with all that Sonja has written. She has done the public and community a good service in helping not only the depressed, but every person who desires for greater happiness in their lives. We are ultimately responsible for our own happiness and this book will help you see how much control you really have (you'll be surprised).

With traditional psychology trying to explain why we are messed up and trying to justify our dysfunctional behavior that has root causes in this or that, it is very "illuminating" to hear a writer and PhD use their degree to show us how we can take a look at the positive side of psychology about how we can control our happiness and joy everyday.

I applaud all of Sonja's efforts, she didn't just write a great book about happiness backed up with scientific research, she's dedicated her academic and professional career on the premise that much of our happiness lies in our own hands and there are systemic and creative ways of achieving "our own" happiness, and you can find those in "The How of Happiness".

A very well written, well researched and enjoyable book. Thanks Sonja.

Systematic, research-based advice

I found this book very helpful. The advice is based on solid research and is quick and to the point, without repetition or too much "filler" material. The self-test is OK, though I think the directions could be better spelled out. Overall, a great book on how to become happier.
