It had some interesting and valuable insights, but 8 pieces of advice and then the ninth is Don't take advice?
funny
informative
lighthearted
fast-paced
This book has some good bits for anyone, but is mostly applicable for upper middle class men in corporate America. It is a fast and engaging read.
Very interesting and inspiring read with lots of practical advice that you can start implementing in your life. The real value of the book will probably become clear, though, when I start implementing the advice in my own life in the weeks to come. Will try to remember to write an update about how the book has impacted my life.
I feel like this book should be a memoir more than a "self help" book.
As a mental health professional I really struggle with the book category of self-help when many books put into this category read like a memoir. I wish there was a section called "life management" for books like this.
Also, this book and others like it read through a lens of ableism.

I have finished tis book. I feel as if I have this book super quick. It is so good and changes the way I think of things and the way he wrote was so simple and clear. I feel as if I forgot what I wrote first but I just have to re-read as I easily forgot.
This is the 3rd time and never fails me. I love this book. Everything you need to know lol.
This book has been sitting on my shelf for about 5 years and recently I took all the books I thought I would read and then donate off of my shelf. I didn’t have high hopes for this book but I really enjoyed it and found all of the secrets and advice pretty helpful, especially right now when I’m at a bit of a crossroads in my life.
This book...yes, yes, yes. Absolutely loved it and it resonated with me. I highly recommend reading this. I'm glad I bought it and it will definitely be one that I keep and read from time to time and share with others. It's THAT good.
Oversimplified and at times felt condescending and contradictory. Definitely meant for a certain type of person (someone very priveledged who has not read any other self-improvement books). Easy to get through but probably not worth it.
The Happiness Equation is the latest in the stuffed-to-the-gills genre of happiness self-help books, but Neil Pasricha, the New York Times bestselling author of The Book of AWESOME, is unfazed by the glut. He believes strongly in his message. So strongly, in fact, that he's willing to paste the eponymous equation on the front cover of the book: WANT NOTHING + DO ANYTHING = HAVE EVERYTHING. Intended as a guide to life for his son, the book's tone is nothing if not sincere. Leaving his job at Wal-Mart to dedicate more time to The Institute for Global Happiness combined with the publication of this book leaves me with the impression of Pasricha's very genuine intent to make the world a happier place.
According to Pasricha, there are nine "secrets" to happiness. These nine "secrets" are divided into three sections titled (as you may have guessed) WANT NOTHING, DO ANYTHING, and HAVE EVERYTHING. Each section breaks down into three "secrets," with each "secret" broken down further into a number of short chapters.
I say "secrets" with quotations because like many self-help books, this one suffers from being not in the least groundbreaking and restating a lot of things that have become part of the public's general understanding. Continue reading at The Atwood blog http://bit.ly/2o6G5mn
