The Happiness Equation: Want Nothing + Do Anything = Have Everything by Neil Pasricha

2.0

Don't get me wrong, there were some good nuggets in this book, but the number of times that a chapter would include like 5 quotations basically as a list kind of had me rolling my eyes (that's how we all made word counts stretch in middle school, amiright?). Also, the author's interpretation of fact and what has been proven was a bit worrying (not to mention the lack of a bibliography given the number of studies he highlights in the book!). I think some of the ideas were good, and there were some insights there, but this other stuff just kind of erroded my confidence in the author and that things weren't being taken out of context or misrepresented to make a point.
