Happy for No Reason: 7 Steps to Being Happy from the Inside Out by Marci Shimoff, Carol Kline

fgaon's review against another edition

3.0

Definitely put me in a positive frame of mind and provided me with a framework to develop. I liked the stories and especially liked the exercises at the end of each chapter. Since I was listening in the car and my kids heard parts of it, they remind me to expand rather than contract. I bought a used copy from amazon so that I can follow up on some of the research and to remember how to be happy for no reason.

For a book that aims for happiness for no reason, it certainly gives a lot of reasons to be happy. The "7 step" structure seemed to mask a lack for coherent narrative. Because Shimoff provides so many suggestions, the lack of a binding structure can make all the suggestions hard to remember and implement.
