The 100 Simple Secrets of Happy People: What… de David Niven
I could not have chosen this book at a better time. I am aging not so gracefully, bummed out about the latest job fail, and wondering how I could bring more joy into my life. This book provided so many tips. Many I do. Others I had forgotten, and some I had never considered. I am in the process of making many life changes, and plan to incorporate as many of these secrets as possible. In fact, I read most of this book while waiting for an unexpected tire change. I was not happy, as I am between jobs, and this tire had been fixed several times already. But as I read this book online via my library's website through my Ipad and compliments of free wireless from NTB Tire, I felt myself relax, and really get into this book. When I finished, I felt differently, and realized that I could not control situations, but how I handled them. Plus, getting back into reading real books versus clips of fast food Internet information has felt really good. I plan to keep up the habit of reading books more often. This book is a good read, whether you are searching for ways to be happy, or just want to tweak the wonderful life you already have. Be warned; you will not want to put down the book before the end.… (mais)
Cleverly written pseudo-scientific rehashed self help. The target audience is quite obviously people that still think that thinking outside the box is mind - blowing. While a couple of phrases resonate, the stories (aka case studies) are a mishmash that even the author sometimes struggles to pull together into coherent themes.
I admit that I was hoping for a much stronger scientific bent, not pop-self-help, when I was directed to this book.

I quit reading this book after about the 8th chapter heading that didn't really fit with the explanation. Most of it was either common sense or something I've heard before. My time would be better spent reading John Maxwell.
This was a really great read and I very much enjoyed it. This book, like David Niven's other The 100 Simple Secrets of Books included a lot of good research and information relevant to the topic at hand. I learned a lot of things about successful people that I actually haven't read in other books of the same subject, which for me, is extremely rare because I have read so many. This is definitely worth the read for the extra bit of information contained within that will actually inspire and motivate you to work smarter to become more successful in a completely different way than you are likely working today. Very much recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the self help genre. Enjoy!… (mais)
