Summary

What makes us happy? Bill Bailey plays crazy golf and hugs trees to find out.

Is there a knack to being happy? From paddle-boarding down the Thames in a Santa hat, to wild swimming in a glacial river and cooking sausages on a campfire, Bill revels in the exhilaration of the outdoors, as well as the quieter pleasures of letter-writing, or of simple reflection.

In this beautiful and uplifting audiobook, Bill Bailey explores all this and more while delving into the nature of happiness, all in his own, remarkable, way.

Packed with wisdom and humour, Bill Bailey aims for the heart of pure joy and contentment—and how we can all achieve it.

Excellent!

A very good listen. Listened to the first 5 chapters before going on a camping weekend with friends then listened to the rest on the drive back with my partner, we both thoroughly enjoyed it and are big fans of Bill. I like to think that listening to it and reflecting on the weekend camping and correlating similarities to the weekend and the subjects raised in the book, our outlook on life in general has brightened for a while and helped us confirm what life's really about. Would highly recommend to anyone of any age or background. Very feel good.

A joy to listen to

Thoroughly enjoyable, I'm a big Bill Bailey fab and this made me like him even more, written with the same irreverent humour you see in his stand up and with some genuinely worthwhile tips for how to be happy

Uplifting listen.

Felt like I was having a chat over a cuppa or on a stroll with a cheerful friend. Life affirming, warm and funny.
