Whatever You Do, Be Happy by Julia Dellitt is an uplifting read that is full to the brim with inspirational quotes and numerous tips toward manifesting happiness in everyday life. While some of the suggestions might seem to be obvious, all are great reminders of the responsibility of achieving one's own happiness. A light and positive read.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Adams Media for this ARC.

I loved this book right from the start, brimming full with positivity. I liked the little inspiration quotes too. Some of the idea where simple, but this just reminds you that it really is just the simple things in life that you shouldn’t take for granted.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

I happened to be reading this book during a time when I got some tough news. And was feeling a little down. This book could not have presented itself at a better time. My favorite coping mechanism was to set the timer when in a bad or negative situation so that you let it go when the timer goes off. You allow yourself to vent. And then just let it go. There’s so many amazing ideas and things. This is a must read!! I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This book couldn't have come at a better time! With the world in a pandemic with the coronavirus, this book reminded me how important it is to think positive, to live happy and make time for yourself.
This book is crammed with inspirational quotes and suggestions on things to do to make life a happier time. Many of the ideas are simple things that we sometimes forget to do. A great book that I will refer back to at times too.

Here’s a sunny-looking book of happiness. The subtitle is “400 things to Think & Do for a Happy Life” and the author encourages us to try a variety of mood-boosters. We can look for happiness no matter where we are. Simply reading this positive and uplifting book will help fill your happiness tank. You may not want to read this book all at once, it’s fun to browse and choose a few ideas each day. Keep this book on your nightstand!

The book presents short topics such as health and mindfulness, but the most fun for me was to browse the short paragraphs and look for good ideas. Here’s what appealed to me;
Be a little Full of Yourself- Confidence Matters
Write your own Elevator Pitch
Watch a Cartoon
Read comics or graphic novels- especially if this is something new for you
Play with a Magnetic Poetry Set
Style a Shelf
Master a New Skill
Wear Pajamas during the day. This is akin to the old-fashioned idea of “changing in to your play clothes.”

As you can see, very little expense is needed to make a happy life. A guide like this helps us to see what is possible. Wouldn’t this book make a nice gift?

I received an advance review copy from NetGalley and Adams Media. This is my honest review.

Whatever You Do, Be Happy by Julia Dellitt was sitting on my shelf of "To Be Read" books and then the world was brought to its knees by the COVID-19 pandemic. After nearly 3 weeks filled with moments of high anxiety, negative thinking and isolation, I opened this gem of a book up and couldn't have been more pleased with what I found inside. The author provides a plethora of suggestions on easy to do tips to improve ones mood. Although you might have been familiar with many of them, they often go forgotten and a gentle nudge that this book provides may be all you need to release some serotonin. The suggestions are mostly quick and easy ang guess what? They work!! I like opening to a random page and picking a suggestion on that page to try. This is great coffee table book and would make a great hostess gift as well. Now, if you'll excuse me I'm going to pour a drink in a fancy glass and send a friend a "your awesome" text.. Many thanks to Adams Media and Netgally for the opportunity to review this ARC for an honest review.

Everyone should get a copy of this book, especially living in this day and age. I am a person who loves a good quote and the author has provided plenty to chose from. The suggestions in this book aren’t difficult or strenuous, they are simple, easy to follow options for making our lives just a little bit happier. With everything that’s going on in the world today, this is a must read and should be on everybody’s wish list.

WHATEVER YOU DO, BE HAPPY by Julia Dellitt suggests "400 Things to Think & Do for a Happy Life." This could be a fun book to give as a graduation gift or even to give to anyone who is feeling a bit down due to being confined during the pandemic. Its bright, sunny cover reflects the upbeat tone within. Each of the simple, manageable activities is written in bold and followed by a few sentences to help motivate the reader. Many of the ideas are ones which we probably already know (go for a walk or reduce clutter), but it's still nice to have them grouped together and 400 works out to trying at least one a day for a full year. Looking for a few examples? How about playing some happy music, complimenting a stranger, or rolling your shoulders? Dellitt also mentions getting enough sleep and visiting the library. She includes many quotes that deal with happiness and offers somewhat longer profiles for tasks like building confidence with body language or turning off your phone. Unfortunately, there are few images, but we could find some and may look to these ideas as inspiration for displays at school, too. Have fun with WHATEVER YOU DO, BE HAPPY and remember to smile (and laugh)!

I would like to thank NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this ebook.

Whatever You Do, Be Happy by Julia Dellitt is filled with little ways/ ideas to cheer yourself up. Most of the ideas are very simple yet effective. It is such a positive and happy book! It is not easy to come up with hundreds of ways to make yourself happy and this author has done a wonderful job! Will make a very good gift to someone who is going through hard times.

Whatever You Do, Be Happy is a self-help book that will give you 400 creative and simple ways to stay happy. They are shortly explained and motivated. When I read it, I was kind of overwhelmed by how simple it is to stay positive and people should think about it more than just look for something that is going wrong in their lives. I'm not the biggest fan of books like this one, because I get bored very fast and read one book in a year or two. However, I think that it shouldn't be a problem with this one. Every time you feel down, you can open this book and find a way to stay happy.
