 "Short, simple, super! May 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Happiness is simple but not easy!
I found this book super! His message and stories really struck a cord with me. His message on time pressure V time affluence (the later translates to happiness, time pressure translates to stress and unhappiness) is something that I have been thinking about a lot ever since I read about it. His MPS forumla is simple but great. It will take me months to apply all the advice in this book. Tal is one of THE wisest and best teachers I have come across. Memorable, understandable and powerful stories and examples is my test of a great teacher. Tal passes with flying colours! After meeting Tal recently I can confirm that he walks the walk and talks the talk (he meditates daily, exercises 4 times a week and spends lots of time with his family and doing what he loves). Read this book if you want to be wiser. Apply this book if you want to be happier!

 A no-nonsense, simple book August 19, 2007
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
Tagged as being based on the most popular course at Harvard, this is a short, clear book that challenges you to consider how you can make your life happier.
There are no gimmicks or secret formulae. It is all obvious stuff but set out in a simple and logical way that is rarely seen in self-help books.
I would like to have seen a bit more depth in the book, hence 4 stars not 5. Its message is essentially that, if you want to be happier, do more of the things that make you happy and less of the things that make you unhappy. However there are some really good ideas here and it is well worth a read, whether you are trying to break out a cycle of unhappiness or just feeling great and wanting strategies to stay that way.
A sensible self-help book! August 9, 2007
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
This book is terrific. Terrific. I'm raving about it to everyone I know! I usually avoid self-help books like the plague, so I wasn't expecting to feel so strongly about it but it is so well written and the ideas are so delicately expressed that it has completely won me over. It explains theories of happiness in an intelligent and interesting way and gives concrete ways that I can apply them to my own life and actually become happier. I didn't think I needed a book like this -- but I really think it is improving my quality of life :-)
