Book review: The Happiness Equation by Neil Pasricha
I have been reading Neil Pasricha's The Happiness Equation. This is the first book I picked up written by him , it was my instructor at Humber that informed me of this writer and his work.
It was a good read. Funny, endearing, and quirky. It was in many parts motivational, in some parts, sentimental and mostly just no judgement "here is what it is and what you should do", sort of spiel. Not really preachy(I hate that) but then again it felt like someone who I might have known telling me how they deal. It seems mostly logical and self evident but what he did that we don't usually do is articulate it so you understand what is happening.
I'm not much for self help books and I don't want to call this one that either. Its motivational and somewhat empowering and if you are in the mood to pick up a book that is just a conversation about you and your best self, then this is the book for you. But there may be better ones out there so don't hold it against me if you didn't like it or expected too much.
I have not read his blog "1000 Awesome Things" and may browse through it for fun but he seems to have been at the right place at the right time for something so simple to become so sensational.
My rating would be 7/10 just for being that sort of forthright exposition on self awareness and being your best possible self. He literally took the words right out of my mind.
