Great commonsense advice

This was a really appealing podcast. Nothing groundbreaking, but really good steps that are achievable, and motivating without being all American and shouty. I've already got lots of simple ideas that will help me kick start a happy new year.

Definitely worth a listen!

Tim delivers no-nonsense, science-backed advice on cultivating happiness in this series and I couldn't get enough. His delivery is warm and engaging and so easy to listen to. A great series for anyone looking to prioritise their well-being.

easy to listen and very helpful in many aspects. it's been nice to realise that simple and obvious things of our everyday life underpin our happiness without seeking something particularly sophisticated.

Evidence backed effective > shiny & new

One or two of the reviews here have noted that there's not much new in this Audiobook. But that's not it's aim. Habits for Happiness is all about what works (not necessarily what's shiny and new)! And I've no doubt that the strategies described in these 10 episodes WILL work if you choose to make them work. Achieving happiness requires nothing more than practising a few simple disciplines each and every day. In this series there are more than a few "disciplines" you can put to work for more happiness! Best wishes and ... keep well & keep smiling. Dr Tim Sharp (author/presenter)
