alstrath's review against another edition
3.0
This book is divided into four sections:
- The Natural World
- Cultures Around the World
- Mythology & Folklore
- Philosophers, Writers & Poets.
which are designed to help you achieve contentment/happiness in this crazy; high-speed; modern life.
Each section contains a bit of background on the chapter subject; practical tips for achieving contentment as well as interesting facts.
There are topic-appropriate quotes throughout the book, many which you could jot down throughout your daily planner for reminders/inspiration throughout the year.
The "topics" within each section are perfectly-sized - just long enough to read daily in a few minutes and try practice or reflect on the rest of the day when time allows
The books; websites and apps listed in the back in "Discover More Joy" are handy additional resources.
Although I read an e-book version, the dimensions of the hard-cover book are ideal to pop into a handbag or backpack and take with you.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for allowing me the chance to read this book.

This relatively short book is a little treasure trove. The layout, illustrations and colours of the pages make it a joy to read. The content is also about joy, about finding contentment, finding happiness. A plethora of practical exercises and tips connect folklore, mythology, common knowledge, different cultural habits and nature to help you find contentment and happiness.
Read it! There's something for everyone.

I loved this book. It was very underrated (and looks underrated with that cover), but brings up a lot of interesting ways to seek happiness in simple ways in every day life. As I was reading it, it made me aware of some daily enjoyments and victories.
