5.0 out of 5 stars A true snack for the mind and soul, September 8, 2003

Sami White "Sami" (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Real World Guide to Happiness (Paperback)

Before I read this book, the most appealing side to me was the fact it wasn't written by a Ph.D. in psychology or similar.
The book is easy to read, short and goes right to the point. It does put in focus the prerequisites of happiness and what typical human shortcomings usually stand in the way of such an enterprise.
Few days after I read it the first time, I brought it with me to a coffee shop and read it again. To my surprise, I found out that I memorized lots of its content, then, I found myself trying to apply them in my daily life. I now feel
more grateful for the good things I already have in life. I drive slower and I am under less stress in my car. Around me, everything seems more beautiful than before. In addition to this,because of all these changes in me, I am more productive in my work and all the stuff that I have to do or want to do.
