In Aggressively Happy, Joy Marie Clarkson opens up about how readers can cultivate and live a happy life. She begins the book by sharing how at a time near the New Year she was feeling a message on her heart. The message was that this year will be hard and she will suffer. She admitted to feeling tired and feeling like a drain to everyone around her. She tried to fill the empty void by working different jobs until one day she decided to live her life. She shared how she choose to have happiness. She divided up the book into ten verbs: befriend sadness, remember you have a body, tell yourself a good story, accept love, give yourself away, believe in God, and much more. These are all of her principles she lives by to live a happy life.
I would recommend this wonderful book about choosing happiness to anyone who feels burdened down by the circumstances of life. I immensely loved how she shared ten ways in which she was able to improve her outlook on living life and being happy. One of my favorite topics was enjoying life and dealing with feeling guilty when there is chaos in the world. She shared how we tend to either be tough or too mushy filled with anxiety. She explained how we need to remember to find a reason to keep trying to make the world a better place.
"I received this book free from the publisher, Bethany House/ Chosen for my honest review.”
