Where does Happiness: The Top 100 Best Ways to Feel Good & Be Happy rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I am quite new to audio books and I am enjoying listening to the motivational works of Ace McCloud including this audio book. Josua Mackey is clear and enthusiastic and delivers the book well. .

What was one of the most memorable moments of Happiness: The Top 100 Best Ways to Feel Good & Be Happy?

I particulary connected with the idea of "Finding your Purpose in Life" I like the focus on long term gain. Life is a marathon and not a sprint.

Which character – as performed by Joshua Mackey – was your favourite?

Joshua Mackay was articulate throughout. He read with ease. There were no characters but different subject matters. Focusing on positivity and self belief reoccured like a mantra and was a powerful message for me.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Being the best of yourself and loving yourself for it.

Any additional comments?

The book covered a huge array of subject matter. It considered attitude to youself, your job, family and friends. It looked at thoughts, feelings and actions. An excellent overview of the many ways to approach change and as the author points out nearly half of our potential for happiness lies in our own ability to make this happen.

Happiness made easy

I've often wondered if happiness is an illusive feeling felt only by people in movies or adverts. This audio book taught me otherwise - happiness is possible for everyone, whatever their circumstances.

The book helped me to figure out my misconceptions about happiness, and taught me how to overcome my fear of "failing" at being happy. The strategies suggested have really helped me into a more positive state of mind. I found creating the action plan for happiness fun and interesting. There are lots of exercises to try out, designed to help improve attitude and find my life's purpose.

This book has given me the confidence to know that I can be happy if I choose to be. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for tips and advice on how to live life to the full, with a smile.

A journey towards understanding happiness

Happiness can seem like an elusive and sometimes fleeting life experience and often we look for it in all the wrong (external) places. This audiobook takes us on a journey to show us that happiness is something that we are (or become), not something that we find or that happens to us. Ace McCloud addresses the subject with his usual clarity and thoroughness, covering many aspects of life that we might not necessarily think of or pursue when learning happiness. A few thorny subjects such as forgiveness and stress are tackled along the way, but the big adventure is in becoming a person who builds happiness from the inside out, and not from extravagant living, material gain, becoming rich or finding someone else to "make us happy." This is an excellent audiobook, engagingly narrated by Joshua Mackey, and well worth a listen if you want to increase you experience of happiness.

Helping you to Happiness

What did you like best about this story?

I really enjoyed the way that the author packs so many tips on happiness into one book so there's something for everyone. He covers four main areas but within each one I found so many tips I can work on.
I found the book to be very motivating and inspiring as it went through various strategies to increase chances of happiness. The best part is that it doesn't just read like a generic self-help guide. The author does a great job of covering so many areas and using real-life examples to get across his points.

Have you listened to any of Joshua Mackey’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Like his other narrations I have heard, Mackey delivered an excellent and engaging performance throughout the book.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

For me, I really enjoyed the section that focused on creating happiness through your career and the importance of many areas including avoiding negativity and taking responsibility. It really struck a chord with my and I am eager to put into practice some of the tips learnt.

Any additional comments?

I was very impressed with this book on happiness. I highly recommend it as you will pick up some very useful tips that will help to you in life, whether it's in health, home life, your job or just your own attitude. Excellent!

Not worth it, really dissapointed

If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?

This book was not for me at all, I expected some deeper and more meaningfull advise and not pointers that I myself could give to schoolchildren, also only around 20minutes into listening the author managed to squeeze three more adds for his other books, again i did not pay too listen to adds. I want my money back

What could Ace McCloud have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Less adds

What three words best describe Joshua Mackey’s performance?

Good,

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Happiness: The Top 100 Best Ways to Feel Good & Be Happy?

Adds
