Happy: Finding joy in every day and letting go of perfect by Fearne Cotton

4.0

I'll start with the amazing colors on the cover of this book. I looked at book and didn't need extra persuasion to buy the book, the cover and title did it all. A "selection at first sight" you may call it. The vivid array of  colors does justice to the title of the book. Like, it comes with a guarantee that it will deliver what it has promised on the cover.

With times as distressing as these, I felt that it was time to go out and hunt for 'happy' without actually leaving the house. And what better way to travel beyond the confining walls than to pick a book and get lost in the world of words?

The book features mental health and its importance in a way that makes you feel like you are in a dialogue with the writer. With its interactive writing style and various exercises that keep popping up every page or two, the book walks you through self evaluation so you can identify where you currently stand and define where you actually want to get to.

Summary nuggets at the end of chapters reiterate all the points in the chapter in a succinct way. You will find in it constant reminders that we are all in control of our happiness and more often than not, we'll forget a fact as simple as that.

Further included are the letters and conversations with people who met her on her way out of dark times and through them, she lets us know that we are all in this together and the only way out is by helping each other through these mists of darkness.
