We have more choices than we realize. In fact, according to positive psychology expert Tal Ben-Shahar, our entire life is made of choices, large and small. It is what we choose moment by moment and day by day—to do, to feel, to experience—that determines how happy and fulfilled we are. Every moment, then, is an opportunity to make a choice that will bring us greater happiness. Ben- Shahar presents 100 such opportunities, some simple, such as whether to frown or smile; others complex, such as whether to hold on to what we know or change our perspective—helping us identify them, recognize their importance, and make the right choice. Each choice includes a brief explanation plus a story or study that makes it accessible and relatable. It’s up to you to choose the life you want!

"I want to read this book again and again so I don't forget the valuable advice I found on every page. I typically don't enjoy "self help" books but this book has been a joy to read and consider."

" I found it a bit overly simplistic. I didn't feel an ah-ha moment while reading the book. I felt like I have read similar thoughts and ideas in other books. "
