Happy Habits: 50 Science-Backed Rituals to Adopt (or Stop) to Boost Health and Happiness by Karen Salmansohn
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a cute book that’s a super fast read and is full of scientific studies that highlight specific habits that would help you be happier.
Here’s one of my favorite ones:
“Don’t want to take time to bake? Take a whiff at your local bakery! Many studies report that basking in the aroma of bread can put you in a positive mindset. In particular, the Journal of Social Psychology reported that shoppers were more likely to tell passersby that they dropped belongings if the shoppers were standing near a bakery smelling of freshly baked bread!”
The whole book is full of little gems like this.
with gratitude to netgalley and Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
