Being Happy!
About this product
“Being Happy!” is about why you spill spaghetti bolognaise only down the front of your BEST suit. It’s about why some people always seem to be in the right place at the right time – and how you can be like them. It’s about why you can drive an old wreck for fifteen years and never scratch it … and then dent your new car after two days. It’s about understanding yourself, being able to laugh at yourself, becoming more prosperous and being able to forgive yourself. Features 70 of Andrew Matthews’ cartoons. Read more
Editor's Take
Amazon reviewers describe Being Happy! as an easy, quick self-help read with practical reminders and a positive tone. Some readers praise its simple language, cartoons, and uplifting advice, while others feel the ideas are basic or too simplistic for deeper issues.
Goodreads readers are similarly mixed: many call it inspiring, light, and helpful for boosting mindset, but a few note that its advice can feel obvious or less useful for complex real-life problems. On forums, one reader said a psychologist recommended it, but they personally found it terrible, showing that reactions to the book can vary widely.
Apple Books customer reviews are also positive overall, calling it an easy read full of great reminders and a must-read for improving perspective. A review blog describes it as a long-running international bestseller and highlights its accessible style and practical self-help approach.
Reddit mentions are limited, but one user said they found the book incredibly inspiring. Overall, the most common pattern across sources is that readers like the book for its simplicity, readability, and encouraging message, while critics want more depth.
