50 Ways to Feel Happy

I am not really sure I think this is a happiness book so much as a book to promote kindness in young children. I like the ideas and the instructions but I think it would be better marketed toward parents, caregivers, and educators than children themselves.

After 15 years lecturing in mental health recovery I know a few things about this topic, and have written lots of courses around it's themes. This is a great collection of ideas and suggestions for practical living, I loved the illustrations and tone of the book and hope it goes on to help lots of people with big and small things they would like to change to improve their happiness x

This is a wonderful book for children. It helps them learn what makes them happy. It has small facts tacked throughout. Plus exercises such as carrying bags, write a note to someone, volunteer, and give back to others and the community. A lovely book to help keep and find happiness.

We all can have struggles to be happy throughout times of our lives and this book is a small eye opener for us all in how to take steps to feel better.



Whether it's starting up a hobby like a form of exercise or crafting a card for someone or simply helping out your parents or friend, scientifically proven activities fill this guide for us to take inspiration from.



A creative guide that was a quick enjoyable read and surprisingly inspiring too.



Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!

4 stars.

I was surprised by this. It was a really fun book! Aimed at kids but also still enjoyable for teenagers, this fun crafty activity book is full of ways to help you be happy and it's also about kindness. It's been well done and I would definitely give it to others to take a peak at.

Aimed at children, this book is full of activities and information to help children look at how they are feeling and thinking in a different way. It also suggests at the beginning of the book to have a notebook at hand to write down what they discover on their investigation through these activities, I’ve learnt recently if I get overloaded sometimes it’s a good idea to write in a book to get it out of my head. This is a good idea for children or for adults to as it frees up our minds when things get too much. What I loved was the idea of the paperchains and writing messages on them. I used to love making paperchains at christmas and you can quite easily get carried away. I think this book appealed to me as I do have a creative nature but it also broke down mindfulness which was useful.

It also looks at stress and resilience and gives some good advice on how to deal with it.

Overall my favourite quote in the book is about acceptance:

‘Everyone is different. That means we are all special!

The book also discusses happiness and focuses on looking at yourself and the importance of how you are feeling and how you treat yourself. How we all look at others and how we think they are better than us and just giving a gentle reminder that we are all different and can make mistakes but after all we are only human. For me this is a book for young and old and that once in a while we should all get creative.

Excellently organized and entertaining. A real winner for the publisher and the reader.

This is a dynamic guide to happiness that will strengthen you home, classroom and work work. While this is geared towards children, it is a colorful invitation and reminder for all of us.

Inspiring and insightful, this lovely little book has a wealth of ideas on offer to improve the mental health of children..

I obtained a copy through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This wonderfully designed book is a self-help starter guide for kids and I loved it! The organization of information and challenges was done in a unique way that both children and adults can enjoy. I'm beyond happy this exists for a much younger generation and think it's a great tool for parents to utilize too.

This is exactly the kind of book that does well in the shop - the tone and nature iwill resonate with many of our customers. It is easy to digest, accessible, and straightforward, making happiness feel achievable!

Strongly recommended to parents
Many thanks to Quarto Publishing and Netgalley

This is a beneficial book for kids from 8+ to develop self awareness and mindfulness habits early on. The book is easily relatable and gives prompts on 10 areas of happiness such as being kind to others and practicing gratitude. Loved the book and would highly recommend it as a gift!

Thanks for allowing me to read this book it was exactly what i needed to pick me up on sad days

50 Ways to Feel Happy by Vanessa King, Val Payne, Peter Harper is a nice book for kids/teens to do things as reminders to be kind and active citizens.

This book can be an avenue for exploring & building the positives in your life. I could see students choosing ideas to implement individually or with small groups of friends or classmates. The activities are well presented and examples are easy to understand. I plan on adding it, as a resource, to a wellness unit our students do.

Great book with suggestions for everyone (not just kids) to make life a littler happier every day and instill gratitude and kindness. Lots of great activities, many of them simple and only using things found at home. Teachers and parents can definitely find lessons and activities in here too. A great gift for 8-12 year old.

Thank you Netgalley and Quarto-QED for a copy of this book in exchange for a review.

I got attracted by the cover at first sight, and was later attracted by the graphics and page design as well --- almost every kid loves fun and colorful books. I love the ideas, and most activities are pretty creative and practical. Definitely a good way to teach kids about finding happiness :)

A very colorful and well-illustrated book that not only children will get to enjoy, but young adults and much older readers will also get to appreciate this. The information may not be new information for older readers but reading this is like reminding us that sometimes we should exert some effort to find some happiness. Once in a while, we experience a little gloom in our lives, but we can reverse it if only we wanted to. And this cute and short-read book might help us to find that joy we are looking for.

Good books for educators and parents. Some of the things here are simple and commonsensical, but oftentimes those are the ones we forget.
