Find out what Mumsnetters thought of Happy by Fearne Cotton

Great idea and author :)

brilliant book and she has written it beautifully

Just received my copy- thanks Mumsnet. It's a beautiful looking book and I can't wait to get started.

Just received this and initial thoughts are bright and colourful book, easy to read and blend of practical advice and useful tips ( that work for Fearne). Not sure i would actually buy this book- maybe as a paper back but not at the current hardback cost!

I'd love my own copy after diving into a copy left on the table at a friend's house.
Some quite simple-seeming tips, but actually, sometimes we just need reminding that there is much in life to be happy about. This book achieves this is easy to read, bite-sized chunks.

I find it a bright and cheerful way to help someone do simple things to help them with depression. I found the interviews with other people/organisations a great element to the book. I did find it a bit boring at times and repetitive, maybe because over the years read too many similar type books. I was expecting more about Fearne but seemed a bit closed off to me. However, I did like the visual tools and the design of the book was very appealing. I do think it is good for such a public figure to be discuss mental health and get the topic up for more discussion.

Really pleased to have received a cooy if this beautiful book!

I'll post again when I've read it.

Book has just been delivered. I like Fearne Cotton so was interested in this book and how happy it would make me feel. I haven't read the whole book yet but I think over the coming months I will dip into it most days.

I love the different "tasks" within the book that make you think about the things make you happy. These can be little simple things that you don't even focus on when you have the black dog hanging over you.

An absolutely superb book, beautifully written and with lovely illustrations. Everybody should read it, even if it is just to reaffirm that life isn't as bad as you think when little things go wrong.

I can't bring myself to write in a book so I will use a pretty notebook (something that always makes me happy) to do the exercises dotted throughout the book. I will lend this book to my friend and tell her NOT to write in it.The one thing I would have liked to finish off the lovely book is a pretty ribbon bookmark. But not to worry, I'm off to our local bookshop to buy myself a pretty bookmark as this book deserves nothing less.

Oh, and I will come back to this book in a year to see how my thoughts have differed. Thank you so much for sending it to me.

A very interesting read with some great advice and tips also loved the illustrations

I was sceptical that I'd like this book to be honest, as I've never been a huge Fearne fan. But she completely changed my mind - it was a great read and there were so many elements I felt I could apply to my daily life.

By talking about mental health she's paving the way for others to do so, reducing the stigma surrounding it and bringing the issue to the forefront of people minds.

I would reccomend this book to both Fearne lovers and on-the-fencers alike. It's an easy, enriching read from someone who is obviously very intelligent and likeable.

I've always been a fan of Fearne Cotton so as soon as this had come out, I jumped at the opportunity to read it. I read this book in a few days on my commute to work, It was a very easy read and make me feel significantly better about myself every time I read a small section. Very positive and amazing advice/tips throughout, I can't fault it. Would definitely recommend to other people.

I loved the happiness project by Gretchen Rubin, Hopefully this is similar

It's dreadful. I really don't know why she felt the need to bring it out other than making a quick buck.

Sounds like I need this book

sounds like a lovely book

some good tips but i can't see this reaching out to a lot of people.

she gives some good advice, it is honest and after reading this book, I am thinking 'outside the box' and finding my spiritual self.

This is well presented and very honest account from Fearne, however although I found it interesting and full of advice it is not for me in terms of returning to for help and inspiration.

I haven't read it yet, but one to put on my 'must read' list.

Such an incredible book. So easy to read and I love the little exercises and drawings/paintings. So lovely to hear someone in the public eye speak so honestly about there own mental health. What an inspiring and down to earth lady Fearne is!

This is full of great advice. Great read

I don't think that the book tells us anything new. However I thought that it was a good way to remind ourselves and reignite interest in looking after our spiritual and mental well being.

This books contain useful advice and very good tips .

had this from the library, and has lots of useful tips, which I will be trying to implement

I was given this one last week and I'm a big Fearne fan so knew I would like it and this one is a great read! Definitely recommend! Its an easy read and very calming. I've been reading bits and pieces over the last week and it does help you find the joy in every day!
