5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect gift book, January 24, 2002

This review is from: Happiness Instruction Kit: No Assembly Required (Hardcover)

What I loved about this book is that it takes a topic that we are all familiar with and talks to us as if it is "us" who wrote the book. We can all relate to the stories of the author and put ourselves in her shoes.

I think the book is a great way to show others you care or to pick up the spirits of a friend who needs to focus on the good things in their life. Thank you Willa Young for your insights.

Happiness comes from within...from within these pages by Willa Young. If you have the blues, exercise your inalienable right to the pursuit of happiness and buy this book. Ms. Young knows the secrets of contentment and peace of mind and they're all right here between the covers of this well written and well reasoned volume. It's a declaration of independence from sadness.
