How to Be Happy (Or at Least Less Sad)

“This book made me nervous when I first scanned through it because I knew it would work! This isn’t a self-help book; it’s more of a blue-collar, get-down-to-business friend with calloused hands who is ready to boogie when you are. This book is about action, but also acknowledgment. There are no platitudes and its author is no Pollyanna. It’s an explicit map that leads to a place where you’re going to feel measurably better, and better equipped to face life’s vicissitudes.”
— Rob Delaney, comedian

“This book does the work that I believe is most worthwhile – it does not hand you answers, it sets you up to find them yourself. One of the most accessible, relatable, unique and flawlessly crafted books that I have ever seen. A must have, a must read, a must do.”
— Brianna Wiest, author of The Human Element

“Taking the small incremental steps toward conquering depression takes courage, and even then, it helps to have any compassionate guidance you can find. How To Be Happy (Or At Least Less Sad) comes from a knowing, forgiving place. Its intentions are sincere. When I first read it I thought: I could have used a book like this. And then I thought: I still can use a book like this.”
— Jason Porter, author of Why Are You So Sad?

“This book (How To Be Happy) is the kind of friend I want around when I’m feeling sad. He lets me vent without judging me, gives me a little guidance, reminds me that I’m not alone, and lets me draw all over him with colored pencils.”
— Lisa Currie, author of The Scribble Diary and Me, You, Us
