Changing how you think is possible. I wasn't always so sure that was true until I experienced it myself, but I know now we don't have to just accept unhappiness. Not always anyway. This book is my collection of tips and suggestions that have helped me achieve happier thinking. It's sort of a gym for my mind. I'd love to tell you it was easier than the real gym but well… it's not really. It takes time, effort, and practice but it's absolutely well worth the rewards.

“Happier Thinking” by Lana Grace Riva

“Happier Thinking” by Lana Grace Riva is a book that Lana has written to help people who are struggling with happiness. Lana is open about her own struggle with depression and she has written this book to try to help others by sharing things that have helped her along the way.

Lana tells readers that the things mentioned are not an overnight, easy fix and that the items she shares will require work and practice. The book is well written, practical, and a quick read. All essential for people who are busy, and who need some answers to the depression they may be facing. The table of contents lists each item by page to be able to read quick reminders as needed.

Also, by Lana Grace Riva, is “All About Amy”. It is a great book to read if you know someone who is struggling with anxiety, depression, or OCD.

Both books are so thoughtfully written!

“Happier Thinking” by Lana Grace Riva is well written, practical, and a quick read. All essential for people who are busy, and who need some answers to the depression they may be facing. 5 Stars-Green Gables Book Reviews

Clearly written, good advise. I like the short summary at the end and would like to hang these reminders on the wall. As a worrier, I feel this can help in that area too. Questioning our thoughts is sometimes difficult. You have to realize what you really are thinking, as she advises: examine them.

This is a short book written by a regular person who lives life just as the rest of us. The difference is she made a decision to write down her thoughts with the intention of helping others. If you don't feel you have time even to read a brief book, read the first few chapters and the recap at the end.
Her style is conversational. Especially in the beginning she adds a humorous touch.
Full of examples, the main idea is that we can not control all of life but we should not let life overwhelm us and take away our choices or distract us from that over which we do have some control.
Awareness, preparation and practice will be useful in enjoying more of our hours and days.

I did read the whole book

Whilst this book I have learned nothing new it is still a necessary book to read. It's easy and simple everyday situations that are relevant to life. I recommend this book; it has no complicated jargon, straightforward and realistic. I will be dipping into it. Definitely a recommended read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Common sense you won't have thought of

I was sent this tiny book for review by the author. When she sent her request to me I was intrigued, I suffer from mental health issues myself and wanted to see how she covered this topic and what advice she gave. I will say right now that all thoughts are my own, and if I felt that this book was not good I would most definitely tell you guys. I was incredibly pleased to read her say, right at the beginning of the book, that this is not intended to cure someone of depression etc. These are simply ways to recognise, re-evaluate and attempt to correct unnecessary negative thinking which is having an impact on how you live your life. Each chapter has a title that could be the advice in itself, but Lana expands on these basic concepts to give you examples of how to change your thinking and the reasons this could be beneficial. 

So let's get into the different bits of advice we're given. The first chapter is titled Don't write off the day. So often, when something negative happens at the beginning of the day, we're quick to say that the whole day is wasted and nothing will go right. This type of thinking, Lana points out, will lead us to focus on the most negative parts of the day and almost block out those positive experiences. Therefore, leading us to believe that the day was indeed negative and us being unhappy as a result. If we can manage to separate the negative event from the day as a whole, and still look for positive experiences, then we are much more likely to find happiness within the days' events.

Some other pieces of advice given can be summarised to Don't compare your life to imagined others, journal good things, accept changed plans and many more besides. I won't go into them all or you won't go and read the book for yourself! Within all these different chapters, Lana describes negative thinking that you might be engaging in, how to recognise this within yourself and how to then go about attempting to change these thought patterns. These may seem like very simple, common sense ideas, but for those who struggle with negative thinking, it can be difficult to come to these conclusions without someone pointing them out and providing a way of thinking differently. 

Lana emphasises at multiple points in the book that this is not a cure for depression, however, I believe that this can be a great accompaniment to other treatments. Simply taking anti-depressants will not cure ingrained negative thoughts, although they are incredibly helpful and in some cases life-saving. Changing the pattern of your thinking is what will, in the end, leave you feeling happier and able to live life to the full.

I look forward to applying the advice given in my daily life, as I am a negative thinker and feel like these steps could help me on the way to being a more positive person. I definitely recommend this little book, it doesn't take long to read and could really help you start to take the steps to change how you think, for the better.

4.0 out of 5 stars A cheery little book with tips on positive thinking
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 21, 2018

*I received a free copy of this book with thanks to the author. The decision to review and my opinions are my own.*

Happier Thinking is a slim, cheery little book, packed with tips and advice on how to think more positively and cast negativity out of your mind. Think of the #100daysofhappiness challenge but in bitesize advice format!

Lana Grace Riva addresses the reader directly in a friendly, informal style; you can clearly hear her personal voice as she dispenses clear and sensible advice whilst also occasionally getting sidetracked into her own thoughts on the subject in question.

None of the information in the book is ‘rocket science’. These are sensible and commonsense tips, and the joy is in the accessibility to all readers. Without patronising, Riva inspires a feeling of confidence that the happier mindset she describes is achievable, and she provides useful examples along the way of how her advice can be applied in everyday situations.

I personally plan on buying a few copies of this book for stocking fillers this year, as I found the tips useful myself (I am an habitual what-if-er) and can think of some friends and family that would both enjoy and find this handy for refocusing on the positive in life.

Why not spread a little happiness as the nights draw in?!

Bad things will still happen. I would love nothing more than to present you with ways to eliminate bad things in your life (annoying this book is not that I know – can someone please write that book?!). I can, however, provide suggestions for lessening the power of bad experiences on your mood.

– Lana Grace Riva, Happier Thinking
