Book of the Month: The 100 Simple Secrets of Happy People by: David Niven, Ph.D.

One hundred practices, attitudes, and habits for happiness to transform a ho-hum existence into a full and happy life.

I love the simplicity of this book and how the simple things can be applied in the workplace as well as in your personal life.

Some of my favorites: 

No. 52 – Never trade your morals for your goals.  People who compromise what they believe in to satisfy their goals wind up dissatisfied with their accomplishments.

No. 44 – Eat some fruit every day.  PBK supports this by providing fresh fruit bowls in every department daily.

No. 33 – Little things have big meaning.  Tiny things, the tone of your voice, the exact words you use as you go through otherwise ordinary events, communicate volumes.  We strive in customer service to always be cheerful, upbeat, and pleasant to provide WOW service.

This easy to read book is laid out in a way that you can read one happy section a day to live a full and happy life.
