The book that started it all!<\/h1>\n

Over\u00a02.5 MILLION<\/strong>\u00a0copies sold.<\/p>\n

Being Happy!<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>is about:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • why you spill spaghetti bolognaise only down the front of your\u00a0BEST suit.<\/li>\n
  • why some people always seem to be in the right place at the right time \u2013 and how you can be like them<\/li>\n
  • why bills always come at once<\/li>\n
  • why traffic lights stay red for half a day when you\u2019re late for an appointment<\/li>\n
  • why you accidentally meet your neighbour when you\u2019re on vacation in Madrid<\/li>\n
  • why you can drive an old wreck for fifteen \u00a0\u00a0years and never scratch it \u2026 and then dent your new car after two days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    It\u2019s a book about \u2026<\/p>\n

      \n
    • understanding yourself<\/li>\n
    • being able to laugh at yourself<\/li>\n
    • becoming more prosperous<\/li>\n
    • being able to forgive yourself.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      It also discusses understanding nature\u2019s laws so\u00a0 we can better deal with our own natures.<\/p>\n
