Amazon Review #1:  If, like me, you prefer swallowing your "life lessons" coated with a little snarky humor, you will love this book. Its always good to be reminded of what's truly important and what we can do to live better lives, but there's a sea of self-help books out there taking themselves way too seriously. The ABC's of Happiness, on the other hand, manages to deliver it's message with the perfect combination of sarcasm & soul.  A great idea for a gift, but like the title says its probably best not to give it to kids as it deals with some adult themes here and there.

Amazon Review #2:  During my more than 30 years as a practicing Psychologist I have been exposed to a variety of ways of conceptualizing our existence from French existentialism through psychoanalysis and behaviorism to the deconstructionism and relativism that characterizes our present time. I have also had the pleasure of meditating with Tibetan Buddhists for two years. The ABC's of Happiness comes as close as anything I have read to condensing the core truths of these and many other approaches into a simple, enjoyable, easy to read text. Don’t let the children's book format fool you; this is serious stuff. But to benefit fully you can not simply read it; you have to do the exercises. It will be well worth the effort. Enjoy!
