Be Happy takes up where Life’s Little Instruction Book leaves off, pairing simple truths with charming, New Yorker-esque illustrations in an irresistible, pocket-sized package that’s all wrapped up with a red elastic ribbon. A meaningful gift for grads, new parents, newlyweds, or anyone starting down a new road in life.

A wonderful book with many reminders that you should always have in your life because it's quite easy to forget them with all the hustle and bustle of everyday living. Should definitely read at least one page a day and always keep it nearby.

This is such a little jem. I love this book, it's so straight forward. It packs a LOT of great words of wisdom and life reminders in a small space. It's a great book to open when you are feeling down or just need a little lift in your spirits. I have given this as a gift many times and had great results. A good buy.

Some would say this does not count as a book, but these would be people who are not very happy.
A small book with an idea on every page to be happy. It's one of my favorite happiness books.
