Why We Like it
This is such an inspiring book, and one of the very first reasons was the following quote which is right at the start of the book in the Introduction.
‘Happiness is what you are in your heart, unhappiness is what you do in your head.’
I think that this quote will have so much resonance with so many people.
We also love the suggestion.
‘Our happy nature is like the sun, which is always shining, but which gets obscured by clouds. This doesn’t mean it has ceased to exist, it remains radiant. It’s just temporarily hidden’
During 2020 and early 2021 many of us have felt as if we are under a cloud, this delightful book encourages thoughtful reflection and a way out from under the clouds.
Packed with wisdom and insightful questions and beautifully illustrated by Ruth Allen, this is an uplifting and motivational book.
Highly Recommended!
