I just finished reading a book titled Happier. It is a New York Times Bestseller, written by Tal Ben-Shahar. He is one of Harvard’s most popular lecturers, with his classes attended by over 1,400 students per semester.
The book is a good guide to thinking about happiness and what we can do to become happier. Once you read the book you’ll think that many of the ideas are obvious, but we really don’t think about them often. Getting a reminder to be more grateful and to think about what really, really gives us pleasure is really valuable.
There are a number of exercises throughout the book to help drive home the important points. I hope to try some of these exercises and see if they are helpful.
Overall a good read, and a quick one, so I certainly recommend this book to others.
