Happiness:It's Never Too Late

Description

It's never too late... To follow your heart... To walk barefoot... To assert yourself... To celebrate... To be happy. It's an oft-proven adage that it's never too late to do all those inspirational, encouraging, positive things for ourselves that we put off because the routines of everyday life get in the way. Sometimes it takes just a gentle reminder of small things we can do to make our lives more enjoyable and satisfying - 'Happiness' is that reminder. In his second book in the "It's Never Too Late" series, Patrick Lindsay shows us in inspirational yet practical ways how it's never too late to make your life the one you've always wanted to live, how simple things we can do can make us happy. Organised with a thought per page and coupled with inspirational quotes, 'Happiness' will inspire you to look at your life anew.
