Two weeks ago, I paid a visit to a bookstore without knowing what to get. Like any other people do, I roamed around and hoping to find something that will interest me. For almost an hour of roaming and checking some books, I almost gave up. It seems its not my day to get myself a new book. But I was wrong, because one particular book catches my attention. It was a “self help” book! A type of book i don’t usually read, coz I’m more on Contemporary Romance. But their is something about the title that really interests me, so I decided to get it.
When I started reading it, I was surprise! The book is very interesting and funny and… and… aggghhhI cant even find the right words to describe it! Basically it talks about HAPPINESS. It’s Hector and The Search For Happiness by Francois Lelord.
And below is the list of Lessons in Happiness. I suggest you read the book, its really a very interesting book. 🙂
