Publisher's Summary

'To find happiness, look halfway between too little and too much.' (Ruskin Bond)

  • Why be happy and how, and why not to worry if you think you are not.
  • Why it is easy to be happy, and how you can miss happiness even if it stands before you.
  • How a bird can fill you with joy and how a stranger’s smile can soothe you.
  • Why happiness may not even be the word for what we really need.

INDIA’S BELOVED SAGE AND WRITER brings together his own pithy OBSERVATIONS and those by artists and thinkers he admires in this beautiful little ANTHOLOGY.

A LITTLE BOOK OF HAPPINESS is a miscellany for all seasons, one to CHERISH and to SHARE.

This was our #botm for #ruskinbondbookclub

I first read 📖 the sample on kindle and then bought it on @audible & listened 👂 to it there!

It's available for INR 230/- hardback, for 160 pages.
Published in 2016 by @speakingtiger it is one GO TO BOOK when stressed or depressed or sad.

It is an AMALGAMATION of BEAUTIFUL WISE WORDS, QUOTES, SAYINGS, POETRY by popular & not-so- popular writers..

The USP being, it has those works only, which @ruskinbondofficial cherishes and admires.

📌For me PERSONALLY,

IT FELT LIKE SITTING IN THE COMFORT OF AN WISE MAN WHO HAD THE MAGICAL POWER TO SOOTHE WOUNDS WITH HIS WISE WORDS.

P. S. : the hardcover contains a notes 📝section too to be used by the reader, for personal scribbling.

🙋🏻I loved listening👂 to it on @audible_in and it took me in deep slumber 💤😴.. a peaceful sleep.

That's the SIGN OF A GOOD READ, it makes you HAPPY & CONTENT and relaxes you.

Do not buy. Waste of time.

Waste of a book. Do not buy in any case. Only quotes. Nothing worth readable.
