Scientists & academics have spent entire careers investigating what makes people happy. But hidden in obscure scholarly journals & reports, their research is all too often inaccessible to ordinary people. At last, social scientist & psychologist David Niven, Ph.D., distills the scientific gobbledygook of over a a thousand of the most compelling & important studies on happiness into easy-to-digest nuggets of advice. Each of the hundred practices, attitudes, & habits for happiness is illustrated with a clear example & illuminated by a straightforward explanation of the science behind it to show you how to transform a ho-hum existence into a full & happy life.

Here It Is, What Are You Going To Do With It?5
This is a great book for anyone aspiring to heighten his or her level of happiness. It's a book that challenges the spirit, and asks the question; are you ready to jump into a life of happiness, or do you just want to sit on the sidelines? Several times while reading I felt convicted that I wasn't trying my hardest to be happy, when I was finished I felt like I knew what I could to become happier. This compilation of shorts is like a 365-day calendar, everyday a new page to gain inspiration from.
In my opinion it was an awesome anthology. The book was filled with short stories, research facts, and quotes to live by. It gave me an opportunity; happiness is in our lives we just have to reach out and grab it. I felt supported by a few of the stories I read throughout. There was a piece about religion and how you should never let your religious beliefs fade. There are always people out there trying to bring down someone's religious beliefs, this made me feel like I had someone else on my side.
The book fit into my life. It had the same type of facts in the book as there are in my life. There was another story that talked about being aggressive with your family or friends. Like arguing or just not expressing your feelings how you really feel or want to. Some of my friends tend to be aggressive and I feel like it puts up a barrier between us. When I read this it gave me insight on how to deal with these situations.
