More About This Book

Overview

Guaranteed to perk up even the most cynical spirit, HOW TO BE HAPPY, DAMMIT is the first and only self-help book that merges psychology, biology, eastern and western philosophies, quantum physics, and the Zen of Bazooka Joe. Think love and happiness have passed you by? Think no schmaltzy book can help you capture the life-joy you're looking for? This book is different, promises author Karen Salmansohn. Peek within its colorful, uniquely designed pages, and you really will find pearls of wisdom to help you discover more satisfaction every day. And you'll find no saccharine sweetness here. This book tells it like it is, exploring the ups and downs of life in a straightforward, thought-provoking, and humorous way. HOW TO BE HAPPY, DAMMIT is the self-help book for people who don't buy self-help books. It may not change your life (unless you let it), but it will certainly brighten your day, even if you are a die-hard cynic. • Includes 44 life lessons that will save you years of time, effort, and navel-gazing.• Inspiring, fanciful graphics and illustrations throughout.• Karen Salmansohn's book How to Make Your Man Behave in 21 Days or Less Using the Secrets of Professional Dog Trainers has sold over 450,000 copies.

    WOW

    This book has changed my life. I'm now able to be optimistic and see things from a different point of view. I was so amazed that someone could be so right about exactly what I was feeling. It made me feel like I wasn't alone and completely brightened my perspective on things.

    amazing

    I found this in a store, sat down, and wasted the afternoon reading it. I was amazed. I was shocked. I was moved, and I was more inspired than ever before(and I've seen a lot weight-loss ads and Disney Channel movies!). I'm using this book to get over my ex-boyfriend and make him crazy for me. Sucks to be him. I'm happy!

    How to Be Happy, Dammit: A Cynic's Guide to Spiritual Happiness

    This book, How To Be Happy Dammit, is wonderful -- bright, colorful, humorous, and helpful. Now I hear the sequel is coming soon, 7 Lively Sins: How to Enjoy Your Life, Dammit, and I bet it will be great too and they will make a fine pair. The author's writing and book design are a joy for readers.

    How to Be Happy, Dammit: A Cynic's Guide to Spiritual Happiness

    I really like almost all of Karen Salmansohn's various and diverse books. They can be read for the humor, read for the insight, and/or read for comfort. For those of us sometimes troubled by our sensitive temperaments or our tendencies toward negative attitudes and feelings, How to be Happy - Dammit, can be a comfortable and helpful companion. It is an excellent book, in terms of the content, the illustrations, the layout, the whole attitude & etc.. On my bedside, for when I can't get to sleep or I wake up feeling blue, I keep copies of Julie Norem's The Positive Power of Negative Thinking and KS's How to be Happy - Dammit. They are good books that help me keep my spirits up.

    A phenomenal piece of work!

    How to Be Happy, Dammit is a journey to the epiphany. What a great book dedicated to self-discovery and self-acceptance. As the President/CEO of EmpowerMag.com, I must read several books on the subject of personal growth and this book by far ranks in my top five! Philippe Matthews President/CEO EmpowerMag.com

    Read this book, dammit!

    Great book, filled with quotes and inspirational ideas for bad days or times when you just need a little pick-up. The design of the pages really keeps your attention and here's my favorite quote: 'Even your yearning for sex is really a dyslexic search for love.' Don't miss this one.
