The How of Happiness: The Scientific Approach to Getting the Life You Want
Sonja Lyubomirsky Ph.D.
from a reader:
"I am kind of a sceptic when it comes to books about "happiness" and especially those who claim to be "how-to" books. But this author is not just telling us what "works for her"... Dr.Lyubomirsky is telling us what works for a lot of people as proven by scientific research. That is something I can have some faith in."

Laughter Therapy: How to Laugh About Everything in Your Life That Isn't Really Funny
Annette Goodheart Ph.D.
review by Kathie McWilliams, Executive Director of Joyful Child
In her book, Laughter Therapy, Annette Goodheart explains that her goal in writing it is to empower one to bring more healing laughter into one's life and to become "laughter independent." She outlines three myths about laughter that keep us from laughing. The first myth is that we must have a reason to laugh; the second is that we laugh because we are happy; and the third is that a sense of humor is the same thing as laughter. She dispels these myths and reveals what she believes to be the reality of laughter.

How Full Is Your Bucket?
Positive Strategies for Work and Life
by Tom Rath, Donald O. Clifton
from a reader
"My Dad gave me this book. I read it and was so moved by it's positive and practical wisdom. My boyfriend Geoff (goes to a different High School) read it and passed it on. Since then all of my friends (and Geoff's) have bought a copy, as well as our teachers and parents. This book multiplies!"
from a reader:
"Written with the simple concept that we all have this bucket that we carry around with us all the time, every place we go. In this bucket we keep our emotions. Sometimes we add to our bucket, a kind word, a pat on the shoulder - usually little things, rarely big things like a raise or promotion. Sometimes we dip things out of our bucket, a negative thought, a cruel deed.
The rewards of a full bucket are immense, not only a generally more productive life, but a longer happier life. Strange as it may seem, happy people live about ten years longer than grouchy people. This little book, only 128 pages won't take you long to read. The lessons in it are simple, straight forward, and easy to implement. It makes you feel better, it makes the people with whom you interact feel better, and you'll live longer."
