I found this book when I was in a depression period. It really opened my eyes to the less fortunate out there. The stories are so inspiring which made my problems seem so small. A must read for those who always complain endlessly.
I was into the Chicken Soup series when it was still a fad, and now I realized the series wouldn't hold a candle to this book! Mr. Matthews doesn't offer warm and fuzzy advices, but instead remind you that real people had been worse than you and they managed to succeed. The illustration is just a plus. I love the inspirational stories added in each chapter, and some even have website and email related to the person in the real life story. I asked my mom to read this, and she started to come out of her depression. We've just lost my brother, his son, and father to my nephew and niece. At the same time, I went through a personal problem that include leaving my much loved job. Somehow, I believe, after reading the book, that my problem can be overcome, and I have the right to be happy, even in hard times! So if you can only buy 1 book, leave the other mumbo-jumbo self-help books behind and get this one!
This book was given to me by my pet sister from Singapore.
When I start readings this book, I started to look back at my life. Most of the things he wrote down would resembled myself and I felt a hard slap across my face! What he said was true! every words of it. But in here, I found ways to solve my emotions issue. I got to know that happiness is not something we earn but something we choose!
This is by far the greatest self help book I ever read! and I'm having fun reading it too!

This book is a must-read for everyone. The importance of happiness is explained very well throughout the book. It is full of anectodes and after reading every one of them, you tell yourself "why I always take everything for granted?!?" We are surrounded with a lot of positive things but unfortunately our focus is only on negative things. It is like a dark dot in a white shirt. We immediately notice that black dot and ignore the rest which I described it as a white shirt. This book helps you to instruct a positive and productive attitude to become successful in the most important aspects of life such as relationships, money, thoughts, wealth and gratitude. It emphasizes that if you remain negative toward anything, you will soon face its consequences. Finally, I would like to quote a sentence from this book: "HAPPY PEOPLE ARE NOT HAPPY BECAUSE THEY ARE SUCCESSFUL. THEY ARE SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE THEY ARE HAPPY."
This book really help me to define happiness in a new way and really helps me to realize that I deserve happiness after miserable things had happened. This book also help me to construct a new perspective of life.
"When you are happy, you get what you want." The last sentence really hit me after I read this whole book 鉂o笍
Jadi orang yang bahagia karena dengan begitu kita bisa mendapatkan apa yang inginkan. Ada perbedaan antara apa yang kita inginkan dan kita butuhkan. Menginginkan berfokus pada apa yang kita miliki, dan kita punya kesempatan mendapatkannya. Sementara, membutuhkan lebih fokus pada apa yang tidak kita miliki. Kunci agar bahagia adalah bersyukur, fokus pada saat sekarang.
Healing buat diri sendiri. Berani terima kenyataan, berani terjatuh, berani bangkit lagi. Banyak hal yang aku dapet dari buku ini, terlebih membuka wawasan aku dalam menyikapi musibah/ujian. Kebahagian terletak pada diri kita sendiri.
Highly recommeded book to read whenever you need a word of motovation or different prespective of life. The books gives us more reasons to keep moving with better aim and purpose. I have read the book more then 4 time and made notes as well.
