Well hello there!
I’m back at long last! Please excuse my massive
writing gap, I have been inundated with school work and exams and the pressures
of getting into university meant that reading had to take a backseat for a
while… I say back seat, I have as good as gone cold turkey on books and had a
rising collection of over 13 books during that period! Nevertheless I am back
and I started with a book that I thought would be fitting upon completing my
last exam and in fact my last EVER day at school;
Happiness by Design – Paul Dolan
This book is a wonderfully written book full to the brim of
research and evidence into the ways people go about being happy, however given
that my brain has been overly tired having completed school the day before
picking this book up I feel as though I couldn’t fully appreciate this book.
Whilst I found it interesting as it talks about diverting your attention,
moving away from the heavy technological society we live in today and aspiring
to give more to others even if it is only your time, I also felt as though the target
audience consisted of being well into your twenties and thirties, being married
and either thinking about or living with kids!
With wonderful morals and attributes throughout, I feel as
though I shall have to revisit when in 10 years and also let my mother borrow it and compare how she perceives it. Safe to say when Paul was referring to
spending extra time to play with his kids and spending time away from stressing
about bills and financial income, I couldn’t possibly relate!
A well written book, I would recommend, though do it when
your brain is able to focus and wanting to learn, mine certainly was not. I am
now going to move onto a fiction book and escape this world for the rest of
the morning. :)
I hope you are having a lovely day! Here’s my challenge for
you within the theme of happiness;
What’s one thing you have to smile about today?
