According to the World Health Organization, the year 2020 will see depression become second only to heart disease in terms of the global burden of illness, a sad state of affairs that motivational speaker Shimoff (co-author, Chicken Soup for the Woman’s Soul) believes can be changed by learning to cultivate "a happiness that’s beyond reasons and that’s here to stay." Inner happiness, she says, is within reach for anyone who can turn down the volume on their hectic lives and learn the 21 Happiness Habits that Shimoff has cultivated from 100 interviews with "deeply happy" people (including actress Goldie Hawn and author Elizabeth Gilbert). Emphasizing a holistic approach, Shimoff takes into account mind, heart, body and soul in seven chapters that cover three Happiness Habits each, as well as corresponding anecdotes that "define what it means to be Happy for No Reason." The personal stories of happy interviewees prove enlightening, and the princples they support are sound and commonsensical ("Focus on the solution," "Make peace with yourself," "Question your thoughts," "Practice forgiveness"), if not exactly groundbreaking. Exercises and quizzes give readers practical steps toward their goal, such as breathing exercises (Spring Forest Qigong) and writing assignments ("Write a letter to your Higher Power").

This book is a wonderful collection of techniques and examples, shared by people who have had one of the most important realizations I think we can have - that we already have within us the ability to live in a state of Happy for No Reason. |

I can think of many great reasons to read this book. One, of course, is that Marci Shimoff shows how all of us, no matter where we are on the happiness ladder when we start this book, can raise our happiness set-point. That's right, we all have our own happiness set-point; just like our weight set-point, where we seem to go back to a certain number on the scale, we have our own happiness set point as well. The good news is that we can set it to the level where *we* want it to be.
The second reason for reading this book - its just a great read! Within the lessons and exercises are heart warming stories from the people Ms. Shimoff interviewed for this book; whom she calls the Happy 100. After you read their stories, you can understand why she has given them this title. These stories not only teach and uplift the reader but they touch the readers' souls at the same time.
Although I have finished reading the book, it isn't going on the bookshelf but is staying on my headboard where I can go back and reread it, continue to do the exercises and raise my set-point even higher than it is now.
This book was recommended to me by a friend of mine and believe me, I am telling others about it as well. Read it and let its message touch your heart; do the exercises and you'll be surprised how your happiness level will raise. From there, your own happiness set-point is beyond limits.
