Get To Be Happy

It’s amazing how two words can really shift your mind set and help you appreciate life more. I really enjoyed this book- Ted’s stories are funny, relatable and inspirational. Even the stories that are heart-breaking Ted finds a way to show us how it’s a gift that we even “get to” have these experiences. I enjoyed that each chapter started with a quote and ended with practice it exercises. I highly recommend this book.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC copy.

Happiness is such a simple thing and so hard for many of us to obtain for any length of time. Walk into any book store and amount of self help, feel good books will overwhelm you. I have read many of them, and found most unrealistic for me in their often complicated approach. I want more happiness, but I does it have to be so difficult ? I saw this book and after having a very hard year decided to pick up yet another book and see if it could help guide me out of my darkness. I read it, something stuck, and it was so simple.
K.I.S.S.! Really the author's steps to being happy follow that rule. Simple gratitude, and a shift in wording can make all the difference. I started changing my I have to, or I need to, to "I get to" after the first few pages. it changed my day, week and now month.. That is the basic lesson, change your wording, it changes your thoughts, which changes your view which changes the world around you. There are no complicated journals to keep, no lists, no speeches in the mirror, just a change in a simple basic wording. The people around you feed off your energy, positive energies breeds more positive. The author tell a very interesting story about his journey in life so far that demonstrates how his simple patterns worked for him.
I found this book simply amazing, rewarding and eyeopening. I like the simple, direct language and directions. it worked for me, perhaps it will work for you.

I really enjoyed this book! I enjoyed traveling with the author and how this story made you look at yourself and determine which ways you need improvement. I highly recommend this book if you are needing a little help evaluating which part of your life you need work and how to become more happy.
I received an eARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I appreciate this opportunity and all views expressed are my own.

The author's story is very good and his insight of 'get to be' is refreshing. Definitely a good way to turn around from the 'glass is half empty' mentality.
