Blair has taken the concept of happiness to a practical level. This is a how-to-be-happy book filled with wonderful strategies and great stories of his search for happiness. I could completely relate to his struggles and conflicts - and learned from his unique solutions and refreshing perspective. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a complete guide to self-improvement, including techniques and exercises that can be immediately applied and experienced.
