Go Ahead & Like It
Jacqueline Suskin
This
is a quick-read book offering a unique method for feeling good about life
again. Have you heard the advice that happiness
is all about how we view things? It is
not obtained through external events, rather in how we view ourselves and the world. We are in control of our happiness. But, sometimes external events overwhelm and
this book offers one method to prompt positive reflection.
The
author simply writes lists of what she likes.
She has done this since she was young.
Take this one step further to intimacy.
She shares her ‘I like’ lists with friends and perhaps acquaintances. She shares many list examples in the book, her
history of list making, and preferred situations for listing.
I
like the “I like” lists because they are spontaneous, freeing, quick, and can
be done anywhere / anytime. I like birds
flying, purple flowers, sounds that I can identify, clean sheets, and a good
stretch.
I
almost did not select this book because the cover title was small and the short
introductory paragraph on the internet was not clear whether the book was to
spark creativity or to help me organize my life. I think the lists could be a useful
creativity exercise.
Disclosure: I received this book at no cost to review from
Blogging for Books.com.
