pickQuick read filled with actionable advice. These happiness strategies were not earth-shakingly new to me, but I appreciated the presentation. In particular, I found Buettner‘s approach to be quite practical. As my husband and I plan a move in 2021, this book has me thinking about how we‘ll organize our new home and build relationships in our new community. In the meantime, I can try to build a few of the habits he suggests like eating more veggies.
Finding things I can do more of to improve my happiness in this book. Many ideas here. Lots of highlights I will need to go through and add to my planner as aspirations, inspiration, and action items. Also, I‘m really happy that none of these highlights include a gratitude journal. I like the idea, in theory, but I‘ve never incorporated this concept well into my daily routine.
The author is actually quoting the authors of The World‘s Happiness Report. I‘m learning a lot about other cultures and how they view happiness through Buettner‘s research. Reading this book rather than watching CNN right now is quite helpful.
