review 1: If your interested in the psychology of happiness across all aspects of life this book is a great read. The author does an excellent job of aggregating studies from the field of psychology into different themes. The author then offers a summary at the end of each chapter where he gives a point of view on how to use the results of the psychological studies to make your life better in 59 seconds. The book will make you think!
review 2: Finally, I've made it to book 20 of 2o in my World Book Night reading challenge - yay!This was the first self help book I'd ever read and something a little bit different for the blog being a non-fiction.Basically this is a collection of studies into what makes us happy and what can make us happier and gives the reader tips and exe... morercises to help you change or improve particular areas of your life such as: jobs, relationships and parenting.I found the chapter on Persuasion and the section on giving the perfect interview particularly helpful as I'm looking for a new job and always let myself down in interviews and there's some really useful tips in here that I'm prepared to try.I don't know much about this stuff, the psychology or whether it actually works for people who need it but it's an interesting read but not something I'd ever consider reading out of choice. I gave this book 3/5 on Goodreads as I didn't feel I was in a position to judge whether it is a good book or not. I don't feel I'm any happier because of reading it (I don't think...but hey maybe subconsciously I am!) so felt that an average rating was best. less

Professor Richard Wiseman always has a scientific and humorous approach to writing. This time he reveals several interesting scientific facts that can boost your confidence and increase your happiness. Approximately half the book is a page-turner, however, the second half is significally weaker. As a teacher I see lots of possible writing assignments stemming from this book. Wiseman has a pedagogical approach and many chapters end with a short writing assignment that can be incorporated in class.

This book is interesting because it has a fascinating research and it encourages people to improve their lives by changing the way they think and behave.I like the book because it helps people to be happy, perform better at interview, improve their relationship, reduce stress and to be a better person.I would love to recommend this book because it actually helped me to be happier and to have 59 seconds to think before i talk; also to change the negative energy into a positive.
