Sustainable Happiness by Steve Schermer and John Woods begins with a question, What is so good about being happier? After a short exploration to understand the source of happiness, the authors examine the ways to attain and maintain happiness, closely followed by a discussion about the arch enemy of happiness – stress. Now comes the action plan, which consist of well laid out steps one is advised to take divided into three phases, each phase confronting one of the three facets, namely, increasing happiness, controlling stress, and correcting existing strains. A good summary of the recommended steps makes it a convenient document to follow.
Sustainable Happiness by Steve Schermer and John Woods simplifies the attainment of happiness to certain well laid out steps. Moreover, as the authors say, ‘If it is not possible to follow these, please at the least go to the back of the book and look at the 30 day action plan. Give it a shot and see if the concepts of Sustainable Happiness work for you.’ The book has a good structure; it is organized such that the regular reader (who has time at his disposal) as well as the busy executive would find paths convenient to follow in their quest. One full chapter of the book is devoted to a perennial problem of great significance in well being – stress. This is a good book and worth a try.
