Happy: Finding Joy in Every Day and Letting Go of Perfect by Fearne Cotton

3.0

I'm glad I bought the paper version of this book - the cover is really beautiful and there were many pages within the book to complete small exercises with words or pictures. The illustrations in the book were really beautiful too. The book is divided into chapters on how to be happy in different aspects of your life. The author first goes through her own period of depression, before moving on to show how she has become more balanced in her work and family lives. Each chapter has a good summary of the main principles covered. This was a very easy to read book and although it covers mental health, I don't know that it would be enough on its own to help someone overcome a really bad bout of depression. However it was thought provoking and very honest and I appreciated it.
