I just finished reading "Happy For No Reason" by Marci.
Shimoff. This book
incorporates many of the techniques and tools that comes out of positive psychology and blends them with a dose of 'The Secret" and other "pop psychology" and self help guru's advice. What I liked about the book was that she used the research from some notable scholars in positive psychology, such as Edward
Diener and Martin
Seligman as well as many others, and used some of the exercises that they recommend for improving one's own well-being.
The best idea to come out this book for me, was that the pursuit of being happy was not a matter of chasing it, but rather as Thomas Jefferson had intended, a matter of consistent effort and attentiveness,
especially for those of us not genetically predisposed towards happiness for no reason.
