The Happiness Experiment by Carl B. Barney is a book anyone who is interested in self-improvement should read! From compelling human stories written by the people who participated in the experiment to a full happiness guide, this book was incredible! I learned so much and really got a good feel of how to be happier. I completed the whole workbook and I am excited to put it to the test!

A wonderful read!
Highly recommend!
Many thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

The structured approach to happiness planning offers concrete methods for what's often treated as an abstract concept.

After a life altering near death experience, Carl Barney introduced the concept of Happiness grants- an inheritance given during an individual’s life to help him/her achieve happiness. Barney created the Happiness Experiment, where he gave the grant to 20 different friends. This book, the Happiness Experiment not only chronicles the recipients’ reactions to their grants, but also highlights the profound changes in their lives and their evolving understanding of happiness. The book outlines essential steps for readers to discover their core values, identify purpose, and fine true sources of joy. This book can serve as a guide to rethink how we use our resources to enrich our lives and those around us. It is a good combination of personal anecdotes and innovate tools. It invites you to reflect on your own idea of happiness and how to achieve it. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance review copy in exchange for my review.
