This book in essence touches on awareness. Being aware that we have the ability to choose our attitudes in life, and how having the right attitude can pay huge dividends. I liked the random quotes throughout this book and have written them down in journals so that I don't forget the insight that I gained.

I borrowed this, read it end-to-end, and had to buy it. There aren't many books I want to read again, or keep as a reference to use over and over. But this is one. I've read hundreds of non-fiction books and there are only about 20 books I can say have given me something that I will carry with me.
On a superficial level, just reading this book makes me feel good. I know it wasn't meant to be like that... but I feel sunny just hearing the stories--they're Good People, these Happy people. And stranger still, I've been lazy, and just read it, not 'worked it', or 'studied it', but nonetheless, there's been a shift. I've absorbed something. It's got to me. Dammit! This book makes ... Sense. Why, Why, didn't I know this all along?
It's under my skin and I'm better off than I was before I came across it. Do yourself a favour. Buy it, then buy one for your boss.

HOW WE CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY dispels the myth that we have emotional set points and are stuck with whatever level of satisfaction we normally feel, in lives primarily influenced by luck of the draw.
Authors Foster and Hicks traveled the world to interview the happiest people referred to them in each town they visited, discovering that the happiest people in the world have made nine life choices in common. Significantly, it became clear that when these nine principles are adopted, they radically improve peoples' happiness in life regardless of what is going on around them.
The realizations in HOW WE CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY are so clearly stated with abundant examples of people who are merely cheerful, or in denial, rather than genuninely happy that their nine principles become more clearly outlined.
The big idea here is that happiness is a choice, or more precisely a series of choices, and when we choose to move our lives toward happiness by making changes to ourselves from the inside out, we can experience tremendous improvements in feelings of increased inner joy, peace and health.
Our health and wellbeing lies in our happiness... and when we realize that our happiness is a new way of life, this book becomes a much-needed guide to finding out just how good life can be. I give this book my highest recommendation.
