This book touts that "negativity is a cancer" and it declares we should "Cut out the tumor". In essence, cut out the negative thoughts we have running in our minds, and replace them with positive ones. The metaphor used in this book is that he compares a healthy thinking brain to a camcorder and road kill. In our travels throughout the road of life we come across many scenes from fall leaves to road kill. We can choose to zoom in on and focus on the road kill, thus removing all the good scenes. Or, we could zoom out and see the beautiful fall leaves, rolling hills, sunsets, etc. What we focus on is what we think about most often. And, what we think is how we feel. Seems simplistic, but within this brevity there lies sheer genius.
(From quoting an American reader)
Target readers:
General readers. Especially good for those who simply have a tendency of choosing not to be happy most of the time.

From Publisher
Hey, It’s me, the author. I’m smiling. And do you want to know why? It is because I am happy. And you can be happy too. I’m happy to bring you my new book, The Little Guide to Happiness. You want to be happy? Then what are you waiting for? Open this puppy up and begin reading!
|
"I just want to be happy". I used to tell myself that all the time. "When am I going to be happy?". I used to ask myself that all the time. "I’ll never be happy". I used to conclude that all the time. And guess what? This is not Brain surgery. How do you think I felt? That’s right, you guessed it, I felt miserable. Did you notice that I just said, "This is not brain surgery"? Well, actually, it is. Being happy is brain surgery. If you have a tumor in your brain, what does the brain surgeon do? He removes it. He takes it out. Negativity is a cancer. And if we want to get rid of the cancer, before it spreads further, what do we need to do? We need to cut it out.
That’s right, just cut it out! Stop it. Stop it right now. Cut out telling yourself your miserable. Quit it. I’m sure you have heard of the acronym, "KISS". That stands for Keep-it- simple -stupid. Have you ever had a situation where you over analyzed a thing? Have you ever made something simple more difficult than it really is? Of course you have. We all have done that. Do you know why we do that?
We do it because we tell ourselves it is more difficult than it is. Then, when we realize how simple it was, we say, "Oh, yeah, so that’s it". Then we wonder how it is something so simple could have been blocked so heavily from our perspective. You want to know how to be happy? It’s a simple formula really. I will tell you. But first, let me list for you the paths to which you won’t be happy. There are 5 main misconceptions to happiness that need to be addressed.
But before I even do that, I want to clarify something. I’m no expert. I don’t have a ton of degrees in Psychiatry, and I didn’t graduate with a degree in literature from some fancy smancy Ivy League school like Harvard or Yale. I graduated from UHK. That is The University Of Hard Knocks. And I got D’s and F’s. I got a D for Depression, and an F for Failure. I’m sure you could go out and buy a book written by some guy who has rarely had an unhappy day in his charmed life. And I’m sure he could tell you about happiness. But I doubt he could tell you how to overcome a misery so deeply ingrained in your soul, one forged by decades of gloom, and show you ways to turn it into bliss. I’m not saying I have all the answers, but in my long quest I’ve learned a thing or two. And even though it’s still an ongoing journey, I’ve picked up a bunch of good methods to get you to feel good again. Now, here are the 5 misconceptions to happiness:... |

All I really need to know on how to be happy I learned from Kindergarden. This book reminds us that wisdom is not at the top of some graduate school mountain, but there in the sandbox in Sunday School.
These are the things I learned:
Share everything
Play fair
Don't hit people
Put things back where you found them
Clean up your own mess
Don't take things that aren't yours
Say your sorry when you hurt someone
Say thankyou when things are given to you
It's good to make friends
Say your prayers
When you go out into the world it's best to hold hands and stick together.
Look, everything you need to know to be happy is there. It hasn't changed and never will. It's still true no matter how old you are. This book is on the surface simplistic in it's tone for a reason, though it has depth beyond it's appearance. True happiness is not in some textbook thick psuedo intellectual book of psychobabble. It's in the little things like, The Little Guide To Happiness. |

Mr. Naselli is particularly skilled at conjuring the internal lives of people who might seem stoical but upon, deeper examination, prove as passionate as anyone. An inspiring book, and an eye-opening, exhilarating account into our internal lives is a recommended essential reading.
I have read so many books promising joy in my life, yet I have read none so simple and practical as that of the Little Guide To Happiness. The book is a beautiful instruction guide to achieve a life of freedom and happiness. Written from his heart, " "The Little Guide to Happiness" has made profound changes in my life. What seemed insurmountable challenges became powerful lessons which I was able to embrace with faith and love. What is the dream that you hold for yourself? Allow the magic of this book to shift your life into a masterful awareness of all you want for yourself.Become the power that you want in your life, realize the opportunites before you and then you can live in a heaven created from the beauty of your own heart. I have given the book to many people, who, only reading it once, have initiated life changes. My personal experience with this book is that no matter how little you are exposed to him, your heart will always be touched. He and his words are the touch of an angel. Treat yourself to a world without limits! |

I teach a class in high school called "happiness" along with a workshop called "life skills". I managed to convince the principle that kid's need more than just academics if they are going to make it in today's world. Being happy is an art that implies instruction and practice. I've read this book twice. I...and I've purchased it to give away to friends and students. I feel it is a blessing. "The Little Guide To Happiness" is a must read for anyone who wants to learn how to manifest what they desire in their lives. What sets this book apart from so many that I've read is that he shows you how to empower yourself to change your own beliefs and thus enable us to all change our outer reality. I feel most of you who are thinking about purchasing this book have read many these reviews--Good and bad. I tend to agree with the other reviewer in that some of the bad reviews are most likely written by the same person. Don't let negativity get in the way of a positive change in your life. This guide will empower you to have the life of your dreams. There's also something magical about this book that truly can't be put into words. It's a phenom, really. There isn't much to the book. It's very simplistic, yet, it's wise beyond just words. Which is why it is so popular. I believe it has a lot to do with the author's intent of being of service by making this book available to so many. Change your life now by buying and reading this book. As you are so guided, gather the skills that can bring you to have the life of your dreams. You deserve it!! Blessings, Loretta. |

In the past 10 years I've read over 100 books in the fields of Spirituality, Self-Improvement, Getting Rich etc. Many of those books were very good and they got me on the right path to what I wanted to do with my life. But it wasn't until reading "The Little Guide To Happiness," that I realized what was holding me back from living the life of my dreams.
That key is this book made me realize that my subconscious beliefs were holding me back. That I could not proceed with my visualizations until all of me was in agreement on going after my goal.
The techniques on "Right thinking" are fantastic. I think it explains the quick growth in my personal life. This technique shows you how to put a positive charge into your every being.
Overall the book is filled with valuable information and is very easy and enjoyable to read. The average reader could read it in 2 or 3 hours. But it is packed with information to help you achieve your goals and how not to achieve your goals via his 5 misconceptions to happiness. There are also lots of quotes about happiness to further help you in achieving your goals at the back of the book. |
