Reading Beth Thomas' book is like having a conversation with that one, dear friend who always gives you sound, practical advice. Unlike many business books I've read, the tips here are real and actionable. As someone who finds most business books provide little value and no new information, I found this one refreshing and applicable to my work life and my home life. A great read!

What an inspiring and amazing book! It's simple and fun yet delivers a mighty powerful message! A must read for EVERYONE ... our world would be a better place, if they did! Kudos to the author!

Everything happens for a reason, and this book and I "found" one another exactly when I needed to hear its messages. It is so easy to be pulled down and affected by the negativity that surrounds us in this world and in our daily lives. When so much bad is happening to so many people, it can often feel like a negative spiral. This book is such a wonderful voice of reason amid that darkness. It contains an amazing amount of common sense, actionable and necessary reminders of how much control we really do have and how to resurrect and preserve our own happiness. If you've lost your spirit, or are surrounded by work and people that make each day anything but a joy, Powered by Happy is a great (perfectly portable) companion and voice of reason.

In the workplace, we don't always have a lot of control and it's easy to feel discouraged. As a result, employees, family members and organizations suffer. Workplace expert Beth Thomas shows us why this happens and what we can do to help others and ourselves become "powered by happy". This is not some "world through rose-colored glasses" book, but a look at real ways to improve your life. The best thing about this book is that the advice is actionable. Thomas doesn't weigh you down with lots of theory; she uses real-world examples including those from her own life. Even though this is a quick read, it's crammed with lots of life-changing advice.

Honestly, this book was a life changer for me. It made me realize that happiness isn't always just handed to us. Sometimes, we have to work for it, and that's OK! This was a new concept to me as I've always been pretty happy, but have faced struggles in recent years that definitely affected me (more than I realized). I think this is a book you should read EVERY year to get yourself in a good place and remember that YOUR happiness counts!!! I loved the exercises in the book that allowed me to write down and really focus on my happiness and what was getting in the way of it. Read the book! It will give you a new perspective on life!!!! Thanks Beth!

While I am only 50 pages into reading "Powered By Happy", I can easily say that it should be required reading for anyone considering a management position with direct reports as well as anyone in a management position that struggles to find inspiration. This book is a reminder that integrity and authenticity in action is the path to happy.

Great read. A pleasure and joy to get caught up in Beth's enthusiasm for this subject. Everyone should pick read it and feel like they can transform their days in an enjoyable ride through the work life.

The message is clear. The examples are great. The receipe is put in front of us.

Give it to our coworkers. I dare anyone to read it without ending up with a smile at the end of the book.

Powered by Happy is not only great for helping you be happy at work but about being happy in life! I laughed and I got some great tips on things I can do in my everyday life to bring more joy and happiness into it. I love the size of the book - pocket size and it was a quick read. I highly recommend it and I know you will find at least one if not many great tips to incorporate into your work and personal life! GREAT BOOK! -Carrie

What a wonderful book! Very motivational for the workplace and life in general. Great read for the person that may need an attitude adjustment or has become negative or pessimistic, this book will help you turn that around.

I recieved my copy of Powered by Happy about 2 days ago and cannot put it down. I am energized and empowered by the messages in this wonderful book.

I am so incredibley happy to see that people who are happy............the ones you think.."They can't be that happy all the time, their life isn't that perfect...actually work on being happy!!!

I come from a family of Negative Nancy's. Energy drainers. Buzz killers...whatever you may call them. I love them, but they don't understand how to be happy. I work at being happy and positive daily. Some days are easier than others but I am better for working at it. It is my job.

This book is a refreshing, uplifting read, not only for the work force but stay at home mothers, fathers, grandparents...EVERYONE.

This book is loaded with tools and tips on learning on how to become a happier person. To put it all in to perspective. To stop the worrying and start living.

I am having my teenager read this book to help him "understand" himself and what makes him tick. What makes him happy, to be in tuned with the world around him. To be aware of how people make him feel and how he makes people feel.

I always tell my kids to make some ones day today. Tell some one at school "hello" or "you look so good in that shirt", or "you owned that game last night". Be some ones sunshine.

I can also see how this would benefit a companies performance. It is important to have happy employees and a happy work environment. This book will help you not only achieve happiness, but also a better your career!

I encourage everyone to read this book. Give that sunshine to someone you know. They will love it.
