About this listen

Audie Award Finalist, Personal Development, 2014

A practical, yet inspirational work that proposes it’s the inner world of our psyches that determines happiness, not outside forces. We have control over our own happiness and this powerful book offers concrete advice on how to tap into it and nourish it all year round. The author focuses explicitly on the positive ways we can establish a higher set-point in our thoughts, speech, and actions, resulting in greater sustainable levels of happiness. Regardless of what the year and your life may bring, we can become measurably and sustainably happier.

Nice choice for something upbeat

Would you consider the audio edition of Happy This Year! to be better than the print version?

Yes. Audiobooks are my choice 90% of the time now over print.

What about Will Bowen’s performance did you like?

He's upbeat, clear, relatable, not overperforming.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No extreme reaction. Perfect book to listen to flying home from New Years vaca, facing back to work first Monday of the year.

Any additional comments?

This book caught me just when I needed something like this, at New Years.

Have you listened to any of Will Bowen’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It was too long for one sitting but I wanted to hurry up and get back to listening to it again.

Mind Set

It made me think about the things I've gone through and are going through in more depth and from different angles. This audio has helped me focus on the areas of my life that were important to me and to try and keep the bad at bay.

Amazing and useful!

I can't even begin to fully express the change I felt as I read and listened to this book. I first purchased the hard copy at a FedEx copy/ship location to bypass some time. A few weeks later I decided to download the audible so I could listen to it during my 8 hour drive to TN from Texas (for work). The awakening this book has given me, bringing awareness to current, and past situations in my life has helped me further understand my desire for my recent shift in my consciousness! It has helped me in many many areas and I feel the teachings from this book will help me for years to come! I also appreciate how Bowen does not use religion as a guide but makes references to many different cultures and religions in reference to meanings, that was amazing! I am non-religious (not bound to a belief) but I respect the difference in spiritual growth and well being! He made this subject comfortable where as some other books use the "fear" method this is not anywhere close to those!

Even if you believe you are Truly Deep down a happy individual, reading this book won't hurt that happiness and it doesn't alter your way of thinking other than little by little as you reflect on the chapters you read you'll see a positive change day by day! Well at least I did!

Thank you Will, I hope to one day be able to meet you the same way you met Jacob Smirnoff! (well, if I meet another Will along the way I be sure to tell you of it! - for those who read the book, you'll get that reference!)
