Being Happy - Real Mum story on MoM

11 Comments

I want to share about a book by Andrew Matthews, an Australian author – it’s called Being Happy! A Handbook to greater confidence and security. My friend recommended it to me when I was in my 20s and feeling depressed and confused about friendships, dating and happiness. It’s such an engaging book with simple, straightforward text and amusing cartoons. But the content is serious and suitable for anyone of any age. Some wisdom from Andrew is “Listen to those whose lives are working”, “you deserve love and respect just because you are you” and “I had enough misery, heartache and loneliness and I DECIDED to change things.”
I found it an inspring read and still refer to it now and then for little tips of wisdom. I highly recommend to you.

Thank you for sharing . It is so easy for get depressed and anxious especially when we have so much pressure in our lives. It can hit anyone suddenly with no discrimination .Teenage years were the hardest for us and I think books like these would benefit the kids now and wished we had them growing up . I like browsing at bookstores , so might go in for a peek …
