The Happiness Dare Book Review

Title: The Happiness Dare

Author: Jennifer Dukes Lee

Genre: Christian, Nonfiction, Self-Help, Happiness
,
Plot: In a harsh world of cynicism, the hard and surprising truth is that God wants you to be happy. With bills piling up, medical issues and children screaming at you all day, this can be a very tricky idea to wrap your mind around but with a dose of humor, Lee helps you unlock the secret to happiness and gives you the tools to control your own personal happiness level.

In the book, you'll discover that genetics play a role in your happiness along with life circumstances {but not as much as you think} and your own thoughts. By changing the way you look at life and think about your circumstances and your day to day existence, you can reprogram your brain to be happier. And you'll get to learn a little something about yourself too by taking the quiz to learn what your happiness type is. So jump in today and let's be happy together!

Likes/Dislikes: I really liked the cover and was intrigued to learn how I could be happier. I don't usually read these kinds of books, especially when I'm working through unhappy issues. The first part of the book I just skimmed because it came across as a self-pep talk and was completely boring {of course, that could also have been sleep deprivation thanks to the new baby}, it was also very repetitive but the second and third parts were really intriguing, I liked reading about the happiness types and how to reprogram my brain with just five minutes a day. A lot of it sounded easy to do, especially since I try to do it anyways. I told my husband and mom they should read this book, and shared about it on Facebook so it must be a hit.

Rating: PG-15 and up, mainly for reading level and content {teens don't usually have problems being happy but ya never know. There's nothing graphic or bad in it so anyone can read this book}. Highly recommended.
