About this listen

Every now and then a self-help book comes along that questions the very nature of happiness, shakes the very foundation of all the things you hold dear, and forces you to reconsider every assumption you've ever made. This isn't one of those books.

How to Do Everything and Be Happy is a book for ordinary people. With ordinary lives. It's for people who have been ambling along and wondering why they're not - well - just that little bit happier. It's a book for most people. It's a book for you.

Mumbo jumbo and jargon free, How to Do Everything and Be Happy is direct, practical, occasionally witty, and stuffed full of ways to make your life just that bit happier. If you've got a brain in your head, if you can pick up a pen, if you've got half an inkling about what makes you smile, How to Do Everything and Be Happy will show you how to fit those things into your life and, as a consequence, feel much, much happier.

Seems like this book is intended to be a self help life changing book for those of us without much inclination to get off the sofa, never mind sail around the world on a self built canoe.



If "Getting things done" and "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" are really beyond you, then this has some nice ideas, but if you need to be reminded at the end of each chapter to buy a diary (yes Peter, I do have a diary), then perhaps you'd be better off sticking in the fiction section.



On the brighter side, I took away some interesting ideas, and warmed rapidly to Peter himself who combines an excellent written style with great narration - a rare combination.

Nice ideas but...

I've just finished listening to HTDEABH. Truly one of the best books I've listened to on the matter. Thank you, I'll be re-listening again and again.

what an impactful book!

I have listened to this multiple times. The author's moving personal story forms a frame for his ideas.
Each time I listen, I enjoy his humour and skillful narration.
I appreciate how much he packs into a simple framework for living the life that matters too you.

Simple, yes, but also challenging and insightful

I thoroughly enjoyed this book by the good Mr Peter Jones. I've read half a tonne of self help and personal development books, but Peter's approach is both a pleasant distillation of other good material, as well as a welcome divergence from the traditional, somewhat overly heavy, personal development tomes. With a great balance of science, sense, and practical guidance that is INCREDIBLY easy to implement, follow, and stick with - I would highly recommend this book to both newbies, and seasoned self-help readers alike. Expect a pleasant, funny, chatty, and useful journey that will help you make "those" changes you've wanted to make sometime to make yourself.... well.... happier!

Simple. Sensible. Salubrious. Sharp.

Peter Jones has a charming style that makes you think "he'd be a good bloke to have a drink with!". Even my 8yo daughter got into this audio book... and she's not exactly laden down with juggling the multiple heavy responsibilities of modern life.

Perhaps more importantly, the message, content and strategies within the book made me remember what fun there is to be had from life and focus on getting it. Dream big and buy this book to set you on your way to turning them into reality!

Real, funny and fun!
