10 Secrets of Abundant Happiness

I have just finished reading this book, it's a cute little book in an easy to read format.  I carried a copy in my combat trouser's pocket while I was reading it and it made it very easy to dip into it whenever I had a spare minute.  In fact I enjoyed reading it so much that I made more spare minutes than were strictly necessary! 

The book is very simple, and the secrets very obvious and the style a bit contrived.  However the value of the book is in the bringing together of all 10 secrets, and the fairly brief but sufficiently detailed coverage of each.  Some books on happiness go over the top; this one gets the level of detail just right.  I liked this little book so much I am thinking of a getting all 4 of my children a copy each for Christmas. If they read it regularly it may be the best gift they ever receive, despite its limitations.

I am also planning to use it as the basis for a series of blog entries that intend to write on happiness, as I think its a mysterious and intensely interesting subject.  I also plan to get a number of simillar trouser pocket sized books to carry around with me!

You can get it on Amazon
