Book #33: Simple Secrets to a Happy Life - Luci Swindoll

Are you searching for simple ways to be a happier person?


"Is it possible to stay full of life, laughter, love, and the Lord through eight decades in this crazy world?  Is that even realistic?  Yes!  There is hope, and Luci Swindoll is living proof.
With heart and humor, this best-selling author and beloved speaker lays out the truths that can help us all become a little more creative, organized, healthy, and happy.  This is not a complex prescription for how to become superwoman.  These are simple secrets, the wisdom produced by years of walking with God and living well.
We don't need more tips for "having it all,"  but we could all use insight on "having what matters," and there is no better guide than Luci Swindoll.  Slip into this collection of proverbs, stories, and friendly advice and come away inspired, equipped, and encouraged."

That is how the back cover of this book reads and it's that synopsis that drew me into this book.
I consider myself to live a fairly happy life day in and day out, but who doesn't wonder if there are ways to increase your happiness?
As I read Luci's experiences and advice I couldn't help but feel as though they were words written by a sweet Grandma, one I wouldn't mind to call my own if given the chance.  It's impossible not to believe everything she has written here.  
I walked away from reading this book with a new perspective on how to be happy using her simple secrets to success.
In fact, don't be surprised if in the future I take these 50 chapters and spread them out over a year to help challenge everyone I know to increase their happiness!
I will say there were many topics that I read and I thought to myself, "Well of course, who doesn't know that," but there were others I read and thought, "she's on to something here." 
No matter how happy you may be there is always room for improvement....whoever said there can't be too much of a good thing was obviously referring to this concept of happiness.
I encourage everyone to get a copy of this book and not only read it, but apply it to their daily lives.
I know I will be doing my best to follow through on being the happiest happy I can be!

I hope you have a Blessed Saturday!
