Cheapest Happy: Simple Steps to Get the Most Out of Life


I heard about this book while listening to "The Steve Harvey Morning Show," and I was interested in what made Dr. Smith write something other than diet books. I got a copy of the book and from beginning to end, I enjoyed it. He wrote about being a workaholic and having somewhat of an addiction to technology, two traits in which I have. At the same time I was reading this book, I switched cable, phone and Internet providers so I went a week with a quiet home. But the more time I was off the computer the more I realized I was enjoying myself. And in the book, he recommends stepping away from technology long enough to hang out with family, enjoy the beach and have time to really relax. I did all of the above and had a good time hanging out at the lakefront every day checking out this book. (He lost me with NOT speeding on Lake Shore Drive though. I'd have honked at him.) The activities are as intriguing as the storytelling text and advice, and I completed most of them in my journal. I also went around asking family and co-workers their responses, too, because I was curious what makes other people happy. It's fascinating to find out just how much we miss out on worried about things going wrong instead of focusing on what's going right. Great read indeed.Get more detail about Happy: Simple Steps to Get the Most Out of Life.
