A tongue-in-cheek guide to happiness that flips the switch on traditional self-help!
If reading conventional self-help books on how to be your best self and live your best life hasn't made you any happier, you've come to the right place. Crappy Advice for a Happy Life offers humorous advice highlighting the things we do that tend to make us unhappy.
This reverse self-help guide introduces a path to happiness called Approach-EZ. It consists of 100 rules that jokingly explain why you should worry incessantly, take things personally, overthink everything, seek the approval of others, and follow 96 additional rules on how NOT to live happily ever after.
If you're wise, you might want to do the opposite of what the rules suggest. While following the rules as written may be easier, it probably won't lead to a better life.
This short, flippant guide includes a happiness quiz. We're all guilty of some self-sabotaging behaviors, so count how many of the 100 rules apply to you and calculate your happiness score. No judgment here if you also secretly grade your family, friends, and coworkers!
