Review:
If you have followed my book posts from last year on our family blog, you know how much I love these little Time Out for Women book series. They are short and easy to sit down and read in an hour (or two) and perfect little books for study too. They offer many different topics by different authors and I can honestly say I have really enjoyed each one that I’ve read. Habits of Happiness is no different. The author makes these suggestions:
*Don’t worry about your weaknesses
*Don’t try to get motivated to exercise
*Stop hoping to find friends
*Don’t try to be happy
*Celebrate failures
*Don’t try to get help with your problems
*Don’t endure to the end
It sounds simple enough and confusing from everything else we ‘ve thought we know about happiness at the same time. How does this work? The book is short and concise and I love these suggestions and ideas. This is a great little reference book and would be a perfect gift for anyone who is going through a hard time too.
