I am Happier

When one has a book to delve into, life is good. And when there are things to be learned, ideas to consider, notes to take, things to write about, it is even better. Mind, one can simply read this blend of Harvard Positive Psychology and personal development, also known as self-help, and still pick up some gems without having to put too much effort into the process.

Although, if intrigued by the bright yellow cover, the red font on the front and upon reading the dust jacket, you are curious about improvement in your mood, then you may be keen to take pen to a separate piece of paper to ponder and plan, both during reading and review after the fact. Fifteen chapters, exercises at the end of each and "Time-In" moments sprinkled throughout allow for many moments of introspective pondering.

The writing is clear. The grand bit about this book is the reference to many others in the fields of Psychology and the premise of balance between the here and now and the future, near and far. Wit, wisdom, selected quotes at the start of each chapter and the additional notes all add to the solidity of the sundry notions for thought on a more examined and better lived life.
