If you have other books by the author then what's in this book will not be new to you, seeing that what is in it are his catch phrases from his other two books. You can grab a magic marker and highlight these phases in his other books, (Follow your heart or Being happy), and save yourself the money. I bought it, liked it and then gave it away as a gift. This book and the spanish versions are just a way for publishers to make more money. It's small, quick to read and Non Religious, I'd say it make a good gift for those that enjoy self motivation titles or shows like Dr. Phil. Three stars for it not being a bad book, but not one with new material.

This is a great reference book - quick and easy to read. It has all the best quotes from Andrew Matthews other books - being happy, happiness in hard times, making friends and so on. I read this short version quite often particularly when the negative thoughts creep in.

This is a nice pick-me-up type of book; a quick read. Anecdotal but right on target, it helps you put some of life's issues in a nutshell. Great for anyone who just wants a simple reminder that life is not always a serious matter. Enjoy.

Andrew Matthews is one of my favorite authors. Having read Follow Your Heart, Making Friends, and Being Happy, Happiness in a Nutshell is a tiny little back pocket sized 80-page "Nutshell" synopsis of material contained in those books. Andrew is also an artist who draws funny cartoons to reinforce his points. This is a great coffee table book to read now and then to remind ourselves that we are what we think and that we can be happy if we choose to.

I recommend this book for people of all ages and nationalities. It is a great gift item. Though short it contains essential life lessons that many of us loose sight of.
