Modern life is full of pressures - whether that's from work, family or social media - meaning we often we find ourselves frazzled, and sometimes - feeling blue.

Very realisitic and good advice!

I expected this to be a bit preachy, but was actually very practical and realistic. Not the biggest fan of Fearne Cotton, but actually liked this

I felt this book was a bit patronising and condescending. Maybe I'm just one of these people who think you make your own happy and your own luck. I got half way through it and didn't finish it. Sorry.

This book is full of great advice to bring more 'happy' into our busy lives, I loved the hand drawn illustrations throughout this book and it's very easy to just pick up and put down many times

The perfect book for anybody looking for a bit of inspiration or help along their personal journey. The illustrations gives it a gorgeous personal touch and the small tasks throughout the book really get the reader involved and focused on what they want to achieve by the end of the book. Fearne you're amazing.

I could do with this book in my life!

Seriously lacking Happy over here. I'd love a copy to snuggle up with.

I love the idea of this book.
