I enjoyed this title though the narrator had times paused in ways that weee awkward. I have always believed that happiness is a choice but it was nice to be reminded to enjoy the moment. Live where you are, not where you’ve been.

😊BOOK REVIEW 😊

Thank you @netgalley for providing me with an ARC of this audiobook to review.

This is a self help book that I was interested in to make myself learn how to be more happy, and to have a better mindset.

I really enjoyed all the narratives included in this book. It was helpful to learn how happiness is self-based and there’s not one thing or a set of things that makes every person happy. It’s okay to want what you want, whether it’s the same or not as everyone else.

It’s so true how todays world has what is called “competitive happiness”, and the author did a great job explaining this and how social media plays a role in people basing their happiness off of comparing it to others’.

I wasn’t entirely motivated or more happy at the end of reading this. I felt the book was more a study on happiness than the self help I was looking for, but overall it was an okay read and I don’t regret reading it. I recommend it to those looking to better understand what happiness is, and maybe those interested in hearing narratives of others finding their happiness and how they did it.

My overall rating:

🌟🌟🌟/5 Stars

⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 (3 stars)

This definitely gave me something to think about. I am not wildly more motivated than my current normal to pursue and recognize happiness, but I appreciated the inclusion of narratives from other people who were able to find their own happiness. The author narrated her own audiobook, which I fundamentally appreciate in the non-fiction genre. Since she is first and foremost an author and not a paid narrator, I am being more lenient on some of the choppiness and awkwardness in the narration.

Thank you NetGalley, HighBridge Audio, and the author for providing me with the audiobook ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
