I adore the simplicity of this book, it is beautifully presented and very straight forwarded. What I like about this book is that it doesn’t tell you what to do, Fearne simple lays out very basic ideas for you which you are then meant to build from and apply to your own life. Throughout each chapter and at the end there are places for you to write and fill in with a pen. When I started this book I was lazy and filled it out mentally. I was about halfway through the book thinking it was okay but not great, and I then decided to pick up a pen and go back through the book and fill it out properly – and it went from okay to brilliant. You need to do all the work if you want to see an outcome and benefit from this book, which I think is the best approach for achieving happiness. Overall I think this book is a perfect starting point, especially for a more modern younger generation as it covers more apt topics such as social media, comparison, and friendship groups moving on. Just don’t be fooled by its simplicity, it’s there to only lay the ideas in your head; the rest is up to you.
