A real "upper" of a book I plan to re-read this book several times. It's really uplifting in simple and straightforward ways.
Wish it were longer. Jul 07, AZ Noni rated it it was amazing. Quick Uplift Really hits the known high points in an easily read but also easily remembered fashion. Oct 28, Maryann Moffit rated it did not like it Shelves: thru Not enough. Still not informed of what I can do to help myself. Not sure what I am missing. Oh well, on to another. May 11, ChuyCepeda rated it liked it. Nothing deep, just plain beautiful reminders to have at hand.
Title field was enough, still I need 12 more words for this review to be posted. Be happy! Nov 05, Christine Mitchell rated it it was amazing. Happiness Very succinct, although nothing new. Useful reminder if you have read other self development books.
Nice to keep with you for a daily boost. Jul 05, Timothy Roman rated it really liked it. Sweet and simple. I guess I'm used to a heavier read, and many of the ideas I'd come across before.
But it still helped reframe a few things in a positive way for me. Jul 10, Jennifer Bennett rated it really liked it. Short booj I enjoyed the book with the helpful insights.
The only problem I had Great advice! Sep 27, beauxmots rated it really liked it. I haven't really read a lot of books like this so some only a few things I'd heard before. The appendices repeated part of what was said in the chapters of those same sections but some things really stood out. There were great quotes throughout and it's told in a happy way - no one was telling you to be a certain way - it was more just "here are some things you can do" not have to do.
Very direct, straightforward and if you want a quick self development read, I'd recommend it. The author also lists some websites which look interesting, too. While the book was short, it seemed to take a long time to read for me. Jan 04, Kevin Thomas rated it liked it. In most areas I found it very obvious, similar to principles I already practice so there wasn't much to take from it. But there was a few principles that was also adaptable. It was worth the read, even though the size left we saying anyone can write a book.
Surprisingly in the 18th chapter - "The Review," wherein all the rules were summarised seemed to be a bit more informative than most. What I liked is how simple the steps are, nothing complicated, which makes it very doable. Jan 18, Nicole Huggins rated it it was amazing. Each rule was clear, concise, and to the point.
Each concept was easy to understand and follow throughout the course of the book. What I particularly liked was that Mr. Moore included a conclusion section which reviewed each rule along with a brief summary.
As recommend, I do intend to reread this book every week or so often to brush up on every concept. I would recommend this book to anyone who is trul 18 Rules to Happiness I appreciate the rules and advice the author put together for this book.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is truly looking for the path to fulfilment and happiness. Jul 15, Laura Cordero rated it it was amazing. Jan 04, Iman Ben chaibah rated it really liked it.
Very simple rules that I think I've been even following at some point of my life and I was really happy then, but I guess in life sometimes we just forget.. This book is a great reminder of doing all the things that will make u happy. Apr 16, Loren Shea rated it liked it. Simplistic, but helpful I agree with most suggestions. I disagreed with a couple.
Some people are more introverted and don't require a large social network for happiness and a couple of other things. It's just ok and generally offers superficial ideas. Jul 11, Jeanette Dick rated it it was amazing. A must read I will be using the techniques in this book to help my life as well as my 4H club. Rules to live by. Very well written not just a you need to do this I gives you the what, why, how, and when and it is all achievable.
Feb 05, chris rated it it was ok. Its common sense I thought the book would be a great gift for a adolescent. They certainly could use this information. For older adults, it's common sense. No new revelation uncovered. Feb 11, Carol Dault rated it really liked it. Start Smiling! This book taught me that it is far harder to be unhappy than to be the opposite. By simply following the 18 rules, you will enjoy joy and peace for the rest of your life Feb 25, George rated it really liked it.
Common Goodness These 18 Rules, to me, are common sense. How often does common sense escape when we so desperately need it? For the price, this book is a gem. The appendices are sound advice to the downcast soul. Get it. Aug 22, Tina Clarke rated it it was amazing. Loved it! Loved this book so much! I read one chapter each morning while sipping coffee on my deck.
Helps me start my day on a great note. Now I'll go back to page one and start all over again and again Jan 31, Simon F M Duncan rated it liked it.
