The author started the book by setting the reader’s expectations of this book amidst the plethora of books on happiness books out there, but it turned out to be a an enjoyable and refreshing read. The book is very well organised and laid out, giving you actionable and tips, followed by a summary of the supporting research. Many of the tips seem like common sense - good advice should resonate. It is good to be reminded of the important things in life from time to time, in an enjoyable manner. |

This is really a happiness helper. Any and all aspects of life are addressed. The words help by giving advice leading the reader to ideas on living a happier life. I like each idea has a summary that points out the main details just discussed. This book does help lead to happiness, as a reader we find what works for us. |

Such a fun lighthearted read with great tips. I thought the information was synthesized pretty well and while it was short they offered fun tips and the length of content definitely kept me engaged. |

This is a really neat book. You look at the title and think "seriously? Science?", but there is actual research and facts in here! Who knew?!? There are great suggestions for happiness in different parts of life such as work, relationships, etc. Alex Palmer did a great job of stating facts in an entertaining and relatable way. I will be purchasing this book formy daughter who is dealing with anorexia and depression. |

A well-written fun lighthearted read full of happiness tips based on research. Palmer has organized the book into sections addressing different part of life: work, play, love, home, friendship, health, etc. Readers can easily jump to chapters that they feel most interested in. With each chapter, Palmer presents the research and follows with actionable tips. References are provided at the back, so readers who want to know "where to find the science," can read up more about it. Highly recommended. |

A precise and well presented book offering happiness hacks for everyone. The chapters are clear and precise, offering some wonderful and sustainable "hacks" for happiness. The book begins with telling you what happiness is and how it varies from instant gratification versus long-term fulfillment. This chapter also contains a section about being your true self. Chapter two discusses being happy at work, and how you can achieve happiness through your work. Thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to implementing some of the happiness hacks explained. |
