An Inspirational Read

I think this is a must read for people of all ages. Andrew Matthews combines a simple heart-to-heart writing style with light humor along with animations to give the reader an insight into what it really takes to be happy in life.

This Book Is All You Need!!

I have read a fair few self-help books to try and overcome low self confidence and depression and i have found practically all of the ideas that i have encountered thus far in this book!

Matthews writes in a very entertaining and simple style. The book is structured in a way that builds you up-and-into the life that you deserve; first by controlling the mind and then by pursuing what it is that will make you happy.

What i like most about this book is it's simplicity; it contains lots of tips and information, more-so than most books in this genre, and yet nothing is heavy, it is all made so simple, like you are recieving advice in conversation with the worldly wise.
It is also peppered with inspirational quotes which gives it incredible motivational power.

BUY IT!!

I LOVE this book!!

I have read this book many times and generally will re-read it when I am going through a low point in my life. I totally agree with the author's outlook on life and at the end of reading each chapter, I find that the book helps to lift me to a more positve place of inspiration and hope. I do think that happiness is a choice but if you are in a negative frame of mind then you are probably not going to choose to be happy. For those readers who expect to be happy with out working on changing thought patterns etc, then they are looking for a miracle fix. Changing old thought habits and negative tendencies takes some conscious effort which is not going to happen overnight as some of the 1 star reviewers seem to have expected. I guess you are either going to 'click' with the messages and ideas in this book or not. If you are really not open to changing your outlook etc , then 'happiness' is probably not likely to be heading your way.

Good for kids

This book is great! It's simple enough for my 14 year old to get, and is contagiously HAPPY. Good enough to read often.

You changed my life Andrew Matthews. Thank you.

A couple years ago, at the lowest point in my life, burried in anger and a feeling of helplessness, and inspite of my fear of stigma, I finally asked for professional help.

I asked my counselor to recommend something to read that might help me get from beneath the dark cloud that was sucking the life out of me. Without hesitating he recommended Being Happy! by Andrew Matthews.

When I received the book, the happy cartoon on the front cover was not amusing to me. As I read and re-read the book, returned to work, and began practicing the common sense ideas in the book, people started making positive comments to me and noticed that I was a much happier person.

This book is not magic. You have to read and practice and understand that you will sometimes backslide; however, it is a useful tool to help you get back on track. Each chapter has at least one "in a nutshell" summary of what you need to do.

The author has created a simple, yet creative book that should be read by people who want to be happy and need help. This book will make you laugh. It is filled with funny and purposeful cartoon characters and interesting stories that appropriately reinforce important topics.

My therapy is now reading, learning, and working at life. After reading Making Friends by the same author, I read the 17 books listed in the Bibliography of Being Happy. James Allen, Claude Bristol, Wayne Dyer, and Benjamin Hoff are some of my favorites. I read all of Wayne Dyer and Benjamin Hoff's books and many of the books from their sources. I have became an avid student and voracious reader of self-help books. Being Happy started it all.

This simple little book has changed my attitude and thought process. Afer reading an abundance of other enjoyable insightful books from best selling authors, I re-read this book and realize it helped me dig myself out of the pit of depression and put that big black cloud in my rearview mirror.

If you need help dealing with depression read this book. It will change your life.
