Michelle has made positive psychology interesting and practical. I found the exercises (instead of time-outs, he calls each of them a "time in") to be simple, easy to implement and thought-provoking. His writing style is interesting, as well, and he relates this content to work, relationships, and other important areas of our lives. This is a great book which I plan to re-read many times.

HAPPIER has something for everybody. It is a brief guide to increasing happiness no matter how happy you are when you start reading. The tone is cheerful throughout. It is filled with exercises to help increase happiness on a daily basis while pursuing long term goals. If you have research interests, the bibliography will peak your curiosity. The little book is a philosophy of life which allows for ups and downs without having to give up present and future happiness.

This book follows the recent explosion in the positive psychology movement by employing a science-based approach to the concepts of happiness and well-being. Michelle's text is very informative and, more especially, very perscriptive. If you have ever read a self-help text that left you without directions for direct application, this book can rescue you. Michelle's took great effort to ensure that the reader would not miss the multitude of applications available from his book. Each chapter has instructions for the reader to apply what he has so wonderfully written.
