Editorial Review: Product Description: Can You Learn to Be Happy? YES . . . according to the teacher of Harvard University's most popular and life-changing course. One out of every five Harvard students has lined up to hear Tal Ben-Shahar's insightful and inspiring lectures on that ever-elusive state: HAPPINESS. HOW? Grounded in the revolutionary "positive psychology' movement, Ben-Shahar ingeniously combines scientific studies, scholarly research, self-help advice, and spiritual enlightenment. He weaves them together into a set of principles that you can apply to your daily life. Once you open your heart and mind to Happier thoughts, you will feel more fulfilled, more connected . . . and, yes, HAPPIER. "Dr. Ben-Shahar, one of the most popular teachers in Harvard's recent history, has written a personal, informed, and highly enjoyable primer on how to become happier. It would be wise to take his advice." Ellen J. Langer, author of Mindfulness and On Becoming an Artist "This fine book shimmers with a rare brand of good sense that is imbedded in scientific knowledge about how to increase happiness. It is easy to see how this is the backbone of the most popular course at Harvard today." Martin E. P. Seligman, author of Authentic Happiness Average Rating:
 Rating:  - No-Nonsense Happiness InfoI really liked this book. Although I wouldn't say I'm a particularly unhappy person, who couldn't benefit from some more happiness? While doing a little searching on the subject of happiness, the book caught my eye with its bright red and yellow cover. Glancing through the book, the infomation caught my attention. I guess what I liked best about it was the realistic approach of the author. Right off the bat, the book makes it clear that the goal should not so much to be happy, but rather ... Read More Rating:  - Living to be HappierExcellent book that explain in simple terms how to become a happier person. The book is full of examples and guidelines and it is well docummented with excellent references. I recommended this book to any person interested in finding a different perspective on happiness. EGR Rating: - Happier made me happierI really enjoyed this book. It was easy to read while on the go with short opportunities to read a few pages. I found the can-do perspective empowering. Basically the author tells you that being happy is in your control and depends on what you choose to do and how you perceive things. There are lots of exercises to do along the way that I hope to go back and incorporate into my life and some I hope to make a ritual, like composing a gratitude list once a day. Rating: - Happiness is a sourceThis book is a wonderful confirmation of my 77 years on earth. I have given three copies to my psychology compatriates. The basis for happiness is located inside and as with humor, wonder and curiosity fed by our contained energy part. So watch the drains (also in others). Thanks to the author I have freed myself even more from the jealousy of others. Pieter G. Kuipers, Sneek, The Netherlands Rating:  - Good book, somewhat interesting but poorly writtenThis book certainly introduces some central concepts which I found illuminating and useful. There are quite a few exercises ("time-ins") which everyone should do at some point in their life, if not regularily. I found some of these to be better than others whilst a few appeared to be there just for the sake of filling up space. The writing itself is a little self-helpy which is something I couldn't quite get over. I would've liked to have more hard data and information to challenge me in ... Read More
