Happiness Is All We Want by Ashutosh Mishra
5.0
This is probably one of the most impactful books I've ever read. It's not a book that just tells you to think positive thoughts and your world changes. It's a description of why mindset is so important in dictating your future rather than a byproduct of other outcomes. It gives you practical tactical tools to begin to develop your own happiness and additional resources to help you in your journey. Worth the time and effort to read, even if you don't want to try out any of the ideas on your own.
Happiness is not a result of success, but a precursor, even a prerequisite to it. Happiness indeed begets influence, wealth, intellectual and social growth, and nearly every desirable thing in life. And—here’s the secret--happiness is achieved by small, consistent, conscious acts taught by nearly every religion and school of self-improvement: kindness, gratitude, smiling, social interaction, compliments, and (drum roll) actively looking for the positive.
The book helped me realize ways to increase my happiness and productivity in my personal life. I really recommend this to anyone who is looking to increase their positive perspective on work and life in general.
