Happy for No Reason: 7 Steps to Being Happy from the Inside Out
Happy for No Reason: 7 Steps to Being Happy from the Inside Out Review
I read a sobering statistic; less than 30 percent of people report being deeply happy. That means 70 percent of us are unhappy. Would you read a book that could help you become happier by changing day-to-day thoughts, beliefs and habits? If you said yes, you’ll want to read Happy for No Reason.
Happy for No Reason: 7 Steps to Being Happy from the Inside Out by Marci Shimoff is a guidebook for raising your happiness level. When asked to review this book I was skeptical – another book on finding happiness, did the world really need one? Then, I started reading and working the activities and found this book could make a positive change in our ability to have and maintain happiness.
Here’s a summary of what I found:Happy for No Reason is divided into three sections –
Part One – Happiness That’s Here To Stay – In this section the author explores the paradigms of happiness. She includes a questionnaire to help determine your current happiness level and suggestions for applying the Law of Attraction (the author, Marci Shimoff was featured in The Secret) to attract more happiness into your life.
Part Two – Building Your Home For Happiness – This is the “how-to” section of the book. Here you will find the author’s seven steps for raising your happiness factor. She gives us emotional, physical and mental exercises for increasing the ability to become and stay happy. This is the “hands-on” section of the book – you not only read this part of the book, you work it.
Part Three – Happy For No Reason – Ever After – How to formulate a plan to be and stay happy, permanently. I especially liked the chart of “Happiness Habits” that when applied, will keep me focused on those things I enjoy and bring happiness to my life.
I want to share something I thought was interesting and can be found on page 18: “After extensive testing they found that approximately 50 percent of our happiness set-point is generic and the other 50 percent is learned.” The findings I just quoted were based on a study done in the late 1980’s on thousands of sets of twins who were raised apart. What does this mean? Half our ability to feel and be happy is inherited while the other half comes from our own habits, thoughts, beliefs and day-to-day feelings.
Marci Shimoff also interviewed 100 happy people. It was interesting when she said she had a hard time finding 100 truly happy people. While talking with these happy people and analyzing her results, she developed a list of twenty-one habits that happy people share. I believe this is a powerful list!
I recommend Happy for No Reason: 7 Steps to Being Happy from the Inside Out if you’re ready to kick your current happiness level up a notch. I especially enjoyed having a plan of action when I finished reading this book – something I could start using right away.
Happy for No Reason: 7 Steps to Being Happy from the Inside Out by Marci Shimoff is a book that you’ll want pen and paper handy for thoughts and “aha’s.” I believe this book is well worth your money, time and effort!
