Put On A Happy Face

E-mail Print PDF

Teens By Jillian Bietz - Looking for a way to improve your attitude or your outlook on life?

Not only are these books fun to read, but they are full of insight and opportunity too!

The Happy Book by Rachel Kempster and Meg Leder

This interactive, customizable journal/book is sure to brighten anybody’s sour mood. With plenty of pages designated for customization by scribbles, pasted artifacts, lists and other creative additions, “The Happy Book” truly encourages the reader to evoke happiness and personalize the pages and start adventures. Despite its petite composition notebook size, The Happy Book is also full of smile-inducing anecdotes, personal stories, recipes, and lots of fun activity ideas. Even the mish mashed, doodled cover (not to mention the purple ink!) is terrific.

 


The Awe-Maniac: A Daily Dose of Wonder by Jill Badonsky

The Awe-Maniac:A Daily Dose of Wonder is a rough impression on the “Farmers Almanac”, the handy lifestyle guide that’s been around for centuries. But instead of articles about weather predictions, the “Awe-Maniac” is full of whimsical illustrations, advice, quotes and all things geared towards securing inspiration and living a creative, happy and complete life. Chronologically organized with a little something for each day of the year, this is an artsy encouraging companion.

 

 

 

The Book of Awesome: Snow Days, Bakery Air, Finding Money in Your Pocket, and Other Simple, Brilliant Things by Neil Pasricha

With both new and popular examples from the author’s very well liked blog, the contents of “The Book of Awesome” prove a reminder of all things good on the world. A compilation of all the little things in the world to be thankful for, the instances are often funny, touching and very relatable. The book reveres the fact that sometimes it’s the little things that really matter. ‘The Book of Awesome” is the ultimate antithesis to all the annoying, stressful happenings of day-to-day life.
