There is a deeper wisdom that comes through with this book though, it challenges the normal phrasing or perceptions of how we might strive to consider happiness and wellbeing. Dr Chatterjee hosts Europe's biggest health podcast, Feel Better, Live More which is one of Apple's most downloaded podcasts. I honestly can't remember most of the others - which speaks for itself - apart from a chapter on porn which I found hilariously out of place for this book but I suppose isn't for some people! Giving a sincere compliment is a quick, easy way to brighten someone’s day while giving your own happiness a boost.

From the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Unlimited Memory comes a new book on finding happiness in life using the power of your mind. What’s stopping me from making them a hero and choosing a story that empowers me rather than enslaves me? Personally, I have found the 3 legged-stool concept interesting ( it also ties in well with the concept of 5-a-day for happiness). Simple, actionable steps to generate more happiness, brought to life through personal stories and case studies.I've not seen happiness distilled to this level of ease and implementation and greatly appreciated the overview of key behaviors on both sides of the coin.

And while I liked this book, thanks to the easy writing style, I didn't find it as personally useful as I have some of Dr Chatterjee's other books like The 4 Pillar Plan and Feel Better in 5.If you find that your mood hasn’t improved much over the last year, consider talking with a doctor or mental health professional. So it's wonderful to be able to know that for example, if you're feeling intrigued by the idea of journaling there is actually a whole podcast devoted to the subject. Many of those may not be new, but while reading the book, you would also realize that these are the obvious mistakes, which results in compromising one's overall happiness and wellbeing. This wonderful quote from page 14 of The Happy Mind: A Simple Guide to Living a Happier Life Starting Today by Kevin Horsley and Louis Fourie is reflective of a higher level of thinking about happiness.
