The harder you chase it, the further it moves, and then it arrives unannounced on an ordinary afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLois Blyth builds \u003cem\u003eBe Happy\u003c\/em\u003e around that idea. Rather than a formula, the book offers strategies for consciously reframing how you see the world, practical ways to lift both your own mood and the mood of the people around you, and honest advice on identifying the barriers standing between you and contentment. Blyth draws on the experiences of others throughout, and the result is closer to a considered conversation than a set of instructions.
