Some good advice, but leaves me with some doubts

Some of ideas near the beginning of the book are effective at making me happy and not too hard to follow. This is surprising enough to make it a pretty good book.
But much of the book has little value. The lengthy questionnaires mostly just told me what I already knew about myself.
He mostly ignores any questions that might be raised about whether the happiness he's helping people to find is authentic (which isn't surprising if you assume he's following his own advice). I have a strong suspicion that becoming happy from following his advice and changing one's perception about how well things are going isn't as genuinely satisfying as it would be to create the kind of successes that happiness has evolved as a reward for.
Some of his claims about parental influences on children appear to have been discredited by Judith Rich Harris. His advice for parents may still be right, but his apparent carelessness has made me suspicious.
