The Blurb:

Happiness is a state of mind. 

Yes, it is. It is not a condition or situation that is presented to some and kept away from others. It is in our own hands to overcome guilt, self pity, regret and anxiety to lead a fulfilling, happy life. Shama Patel, a professional psychologist, enlists the ways and tricks to stay happy, forever.

21 Ways of Being Happy is written with the aim of bringing you closer to yourself. It is a book that will help you charter the course of your life, your own way.


The Author: 

Shama Patel holds a Post-Graduate degree in Marriage and Family Counselling. As a psychologist, she has worked with mature adults, confused teenagers, couples, senior citizens, alcohol and drug addicts, survivors of abuse and human trafficking and has been associated with various NGOs working for underprivileged children.

Correctly fitting in the term 'Jack of all trades', she is often found glued to books or locked inside her art den, bringing black and white images to life through sketching. When she is not being a psychologist, Shama spends her time listening to music, practicing yoga, appreciating nature and meeting people over masala chai.

The Cover:                ★★★☆  4/5

The positive vibes from the cover will make you fall for this book. A girl stretching a Cheshire Cat grin on her face and sitting on a swing hanging freely from a cloud. The cover is beautifully designed by Chandani Dua.



The Verdict:

There is always this question in our mind. And we never feel satisfied with what we have and we fancy lives of others. The book doesn't connect you with any fictional character but it will connect you to your higher self.

After completing this book, you will meet a new you. You will have an array of questions in your mind but the most amazing thing is that you will have answers to them as well.

This book will help you understand your importance, stay happy with what you have, enjoy the company you are in, find a happy place for yourself in this society and stop cursing yourself. Author has used very lucid language to connect with the readers.
