Easy Happiness

Comparing yourselves to others; feeling burnt out at work; struggling to live in the present; yearning for more money or possessions - in times like these, it's easy to feel unfulfilled - but happiness shouldn't feel out of reach.

With her trademark wit and compassion, bestselling author and illustrator Dancing Snail breaks down how to find the small joys in everyday living. We are often told that 'money can't buy happiness' or that we should simply 'be kinder to ourselves', but in a world that moves at a million miles an hour, it is impossible to keep up. But perhaps there is a way to reframe what holds us back?

Instead, we could focus on accepting that some things don't work out, on turning fear into empowerment, noting the difference between advice and disparagement, not always putting a price tag on our hobbies, and the joy of missing out. Featuring charming illustrations and relatable anecdotes, Starting Today, I Choose to Be Happy is the perfect read for anyone looking to process the low days and reinvite happiness back into their lives.
