Synopsis

Become a Happy Person Through Positivity and Self-Care
“A wonderful blend of motivation, inspiration, and explanation, The Happiness Makeover is a recipe for enjoying today and all your tomorrows.”—David Niven, PhD, author of The 100 Simple Secrets of Happy People

From M.J. Ryan, one of the creators of the New York Times bestselling Random Acts of Kindness series, The Happiness Makeover teaches you how to be a happy person and enjoy the experience of life again.

Train your brain to be optimistic, even in the darkest situations. From stress management tips to positive and motivational quotes, M.J. Ryan’s positivity book shows you how to transform your mindset so that you can face any difficult challenge thrown your way.

We all want the things that we are sure will make us a happy person—money, success, independence, and love. But when we finally get them, we can find to our surprise that we are the same miserable, moody, or unhappy person we always were. Do things have to be that way? Absolutely not!

Cultivating the ability to feel contentment is the key. There are people whose lives are full of serious challenges who nevertheless feel peace and joy—and there are those who have few difficulties in life and yet feel hopeless negativity. You can teach yourself to be a happy person and enjoy your days. M.J. Ryan, the bestselling author of The Power of Patience and Attitudes of Gratitude, shows you how in this positive thinking guide.

Goodreads review by Wendy on December 28, 2024

I have bought so many inspirational/educational books throughout the years. I would start them and never really finish, so I decided to try and conquer some of these books sitting in my bookcase by "educating" myself a little bit each day. This one was short and sweet. Not really an in-depth "makeov......more

Goodreads review by Amanda on September 16, 2024

Just another standard book full of the usual advice, definitely exaggerated with shorter time frames like daily gratitudes work overnight, they do not. It's mainly based around Buddhist teachings and nothing really new just a collection of other people's wisdoms collated into a book. If this is the......more
