Editorial Reviews
Review
“A brave journey of discovering joy through self-compassion, gratitude, and kindness.” ―Reshma Saujani, founder and CEO of Girls Who Code and bestselling author of Brave, Not Perfect
“Nataly’s passion is contagious and persuades us that happiness might be possible even when life is hard. By making habit changes practical, by helping us reconnect to the meaning in our lives, and by opening up about the challenges she’s overcome, Nataly’s hopeful optimism is indomitable, inspiring, and life-changing.” ―Shawn Achor, New York Times bestselling author of Big Potential and The Happiness Advantage
“Nataly’s book is one that you can return to again and again. Supported by excellent, fact-based advice, she begins by telling her own story in an honest and engaging way, reassuring the reader that she’s been through it, too. It’s not just you, she seems to say, but all of us. It’s a truly great read.” ―Celeste Headlee, journalist, TEDx speaker, and bestselling author
“In Happier Now, Nataly Kogan traces her own journey to everyday happiness. What she discovers is that chasing one big goal rarely brings an end to self-doubt, fear, and unhappiness. Instead, true satisfaction is more often found in facing our negative emotions, cultivating self-care, and finding purpose in life. This book can be a guide to a life of genuine happiness.”
―Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive and A Whole New Mind
“Happier Now will feed your soul and nourish your mind. Expect inspiration, practical advice, and greater confidence that true, lasting happiness is within reach.” ―Elena Brower, author of Practice You
“By synthesizing a treasure trove of psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral economics research, Nataly has created an immensely practical approach of what we can do every day to create more joy, feel more gratitude, and be happier. This is a book we can all learn from―no matter what our baseline levels of serotonin!” ―Bob Kocher, MD, former special assistant for health care and economic policy for President Obama; adjunct professor, Stanford University; and partner at Venrock
“Through doable, accessible practices, Nataly teaches us how to find joy in everyday moments, rather than hanging our happiness on the next big milestone, and how to avoid being guided by our ego and remember that we’re a being, not a doing. As a mom, my biggest takeaway was the importance of teaching my kids that it’s okay to not be happy sometimes instead of giving them a distraction to make them happy.” ―Fran Hauser, startup investor, former president of digital at Time Inc., and author of The Myth of the Nice Girl
“Nataly rocks! Her journey is not only honest and vulnerable but also practical and inspiring―no easy feat! Happier Now isn’t your standard cliché-filled slog. Instead, it’s a refreshing, insightful, and actionable guide to making small changes that add up to a more resilient and joyful life.” ―Derek Flanzraich, CEO and founder of Greatist
“What I love about Nataly’s book is that she challenges us all to forgive ourselves for saying ‘I’ll be happier when . . .’ and instead start telling ourselves ‘I’m happier because . . .’ Gratitude is a strategy. This realization has helped me in my life, and I know it will help you too.” ―Amy Jo Martin, entrepreneur & New York Times bestselling author
“Every person on planet Earth wants the same thing―happiness. And yet it eludes most of us. With a skillful blend of scientific research and inspiring stories, Nataly teaches us that the keys to happiness are right in our hands.” ―Bert Jacobs, cofounder of Life is Good and coauthor of Life Is Good: The Book
“Nataly Kogan has a profound insight: that happiness is not just a feeling but something that we can practice. Happier Now is chock-full of both the philosophy and tools we all need to transform and enrich the way we think about our lives―an invaluable resource for turbulent times.” ―Diane Hessan, entrepreneur, researcher, and CEO of Salient Ventures
“Part touching memoir, part practical workbook, Happier Now leads the reader on an entertaining and useful journey to increase life’s joy and meaning.” ―Alex Korb, PhD, author of The Upward Spiral: Using Neuroscience to Reverse the Course of Depression, One Small Change at a Time
“This book, like Nataly herself, is a shining beacon if you are at a point of absolute exhaustion or crisis in your life. Serving as your trusted guide, Nataly’s road-tested wisdom will lead you into a deeply personal awakening and a happier, more fulfilling life. If you believe in ‘signs,’ then noticing this book at this exact point in YOUR life means that it was meant for YOU. Pick it up. Apply its lessons. Emerge Happier Now.” ―Amy Gray, New Leaf Speaker Management
“Nataly Kogan shows us that being happier isn’t easy, but it is doable―and Happier Now offers insight into how to get there.” ―Michael Norton, coauthor of Happy Money: The Science of Happier Spending

This book is an exceptional autobiography of a truly amazing person changing the lives of millions of people through helping people to find happiness in the present moment, in their current circumstances (good and bad).
Nataly brings things to the field that other leaders haven’t achieved in the same way in my opinion.
- An active community of millions of people
- A deeply personal, vulnerable, authentic detailing of her journey that makes the concepts more real and accessible.
- While most of the concepts covered are core to the findings of positive psychology, she brings to life the principle of embracing and fully experiencing the negative in life to flow through those experiences and be changed for the better. Like Barbara Fredrickson’s landmark observations of 3:1 and 5:1 ratios of positive to negative in our lives to reach a point of flourishing in life and relationships. Nataly’s experience and explanations and examples reinforce this principle that the ratios are not 3:0 or 5:0. We can’t fully benefit from the positive without the negative.
- An exceptionally charismatic person that has been blessed with a life mission. While the other authors and researchers also have a life mission to help others, Nataly brings an enthusiasm like a phoenix rising from the ashes of challenges that is unique and will make these life changing principles accessible to even more people.
- Through the amazing Happier community, Nataly illustrates the principles with meaningful and moving real life examples from people like the rest of us willing to be vulnerable and share their experiences for the benefit of others.
While I could highlight so many more things and reiterate many of the great principles from the book, I will keep this short and say just one thing:
Nataly is fulfilling part of her mission in life in a way that will impact millions for good and we are among those beneficiaries.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
I loved the journaling activities and still find peace in my anchors...and the part about meditating and not doing it “right,” just one of the many “OMG that’s ME!” moments. It’s definitely one of the best self-help books out there that doesn’t preach like a self help book!
Please read this book and start these daily practices. You will change your life and the lives of those around you. And if enough of us do this, we can change the world. You are enough.
