Genre: Non-fiction

Let’s face it. We can be happy some of the time, but we can’t be happy all the time. Life‘s not like that.

“And in the happiest of homes tragedies make their appearance – loved ones are lost, accidents occur, families break up, there are financial problems. None of this will go away just by the wave of a hand or a few comforting words.”

These are words from the book HOW TO BE HAPPY BY RUSKIN BOND, Unmasking the picture of life and happiness and encouraging the readers to accept the realities of life alongside choosing to be happy.

 Happiness can be defined as an enduring state of mind consisting not only of feelings of joy, contentment, and other positive emotions but also of a sense that one's life is meaningful and valued. Happiness energizes us and is a highly sought-after state of being.

Right, everybody will agree with this. To guide children and adults towards the path of Happiness, comes a book from RUSKIN BOND titled HOW TO BE HAPPY, one among the “How to...” series. The earlier ones are How to Be a Writer and How to Live Your Life.

Happiness is more than a good feeling or a yellow smiley face. It's the feeling of truly enjoying your life, and the desire to make the very best of it. Happiness is the "secret sauce" that can help us be and do our best.

Maybe that’s why the book cover is not only yellow but also with other colors with signs and symbols in cute fonts.

The book clarifies that while happiness has many different definitions, it is often described as involving positive emotions and life satisfaction. Happiness is an emotional state characterized by feelings of joy, satisfaction, contentment, and fulfillment.

The author insists that the key to true happiness is being able to discover it in every moment, not waiting for it to arrive with the achievement of some future goal.

In continuation with this idea, Ruskin Bond has allotted a few pages as PRESCRIPTION FOR A HEALTHY AND HAPPY LIFE. One among them is BE PREPARED -the Old Boy Scout motto and he also shares different ways of being prepared.

Ruskin Bond’s book is not complete without a talk about Nature. His fans know well about this. Nature gets intertwined with the concept of the book with a touch of Bond's style in the heading itself “Being Nature-ally happy.” In that “Magic, it’s all around us” will leave the readers awestruck and force them to realize that.

HOW TO BE HAPPY is a book with practical tips to find happiness in everyday life. The author also shares his life experiences and makes clear to readers that Happiness is a choice because every person can choose to make the best out of their circumstances and strive for a happy, joyful life. Happiness does not require perfection; you don't need a problem-free life to be happy, but you may need to spend time cultivating happiness.

It’s a colorful book with colors on pages, fonts, photographs, and illustrations with quite interesting thoughts on identifying happiness in life. It’s a short one and makes a quick read.

Grab the book and the chances to be happy.
