Bob handles an age old challenge with such practical examples. This will make you happy. No, YOU will make you happy, then YOU can find real joy.”

“This book has been a real encouragement for me, especially in the challenging times we live in.
This book is not only a good and helpful read, but even more it will help you to experience more Happiness and Joy and to discover what really matters in life.It helped me to turn away from a self-centered life and be more focused in appreciating other people and care for them.
Thank you for this great book!”

“Are happiness and joy the same? As Benedict explains, joy runs deeper than happiness. It is more profound and longer lasting and comes from being just as excited about and invested in other’s happiness as one’s own. In a practical sense, this means helping others in large ways and small. The ultimate experience of joy, however, comes from a strong and abiding personal relationship with God, the creator of the universe, author of both happiness and joy.
In his book, Benedict offers readers the opportunity to reflect on the ideas presented in each chapter with questions that lead them to think about how they might apply the strategies to their own lives. To get the most benefit from Happiness Doesn’t Just Happen, I would recommend two readings—one to get a general overview of the ideas presented, and a second reading to delve deeper by thinking about and answering the questions posed at the end of each chapter. This book would lend itself well to small group discussion.

I recommend this book to anyone looking to increase the happiness and joy in his or her life.”
