Take notes.
I was absolutely amazed at how simple yet enlightening every single chapter was for me. I agree with his simple yet helpful suggestions on how to have a happier life. I am going to listen again, this time taking notes and implementing them as I can. Thank you for this wonderfully encouraging, timed perfectly book.

Pragmatic Yet Lacking
Dr. Tim Sharp is a positive psychologist who gives you a pragmatic look on happiness. Overall, and in summary, you cannot always be happy and to expect such is unrealistic. Why then did that take 10 minutes to explain?
Sharp then proceeds to talk about creating a vision board to organize what you want out of your life—at the end are a bunch of people who talk about how their vision boards helped change their lives. It did not feel authentic. I also did not know who any of the 5+ people were.
Overall, this podcast is 3/5. It is not terrible. It is not great. It is average.

Just a goal book
Goals aren't what I'm looking for. Had enough of that in sales. This isn't about happiness, it's about goal setting

Very Practical and Practicable
Dr. Sharp lays out 10 key skill sets that can be used by anyone to increase their satisfaction with their lives. I like his positive attitude and examples. I don't recommend trying to do everything at once. Start with step one, let it settle in, and then move on to another step. Maybe don't feel obliged to do everything in order. We should all get this training in high school!

Book Review as a team
We decided to read this book as a team at work. One episode a day with a Friday review on Friday. The biggest takeaway has been that life is all about doing the basics better. This book walks through very simply but impactful habits that create a happy and balanced life. Well done.

Great Advice!
Really enjoyed this. Very simple habits that can change my outlook on life. Most of these things I already know. The challenge for me is applying them daily.

BORING AF
Did not get any value from listening to the first two episodes. I listened while on the treadmill and I didn't bother to change programs cause I was focused on running. As soon as I was done, I vowed to never listen to this guy again. Literally all blah blah blah. I listen to a lot of self-development stuff, this one seriously sucks. HARD PASS!

Happiness and how to find it
Excellent clarity in descriptions and techniques for a person to take with them into their own life and find their own happiness. The narrator has a pleasant voice in tone and meter.

Not for disabled people
I wanted to listen to this to get tips on what to do/concentrate on to be happy more of the time. But as a disabled person I frankly found it pretty depressing. Apparently when visualising your 'great life' to aim for, the most important thing is that "you're healthy and happy, full of energy". As someone with a chronic illness which affects my energy levels this made me break inside a little. I have struggled long and hard to carve out a happy fulfilling life while ill, and it's been very difficult to accept the reality of my illness (and the permanence of it). Visualising a life free from illness and full of energy is something I've had to train myself out of doing as it only brings sadness, anger and stagnation as I wait to be healthy again (or try endless snake oil cures), rather than building a good life with the health I have.
So to hear in the first few minutes of these podcasts that the most important thing for visualising "your version" of a "great life" is to visualise one full of health and energy...
Thanks for ruling out any life I am able to lead from your vision of what makes a "good life" where I could be happy. This podcast is ableist bullshit which will make you miserable if you're permanently disabled.

Superficial & potentially harmful
Dr. Happy is a pretty nauseating name for anyone who I older than 5 at birthday party expecting a clown. Repeated use almost requires medication. The focus on materialism to achieve the transient experience of happiness ("on my boat with my mates") is very dangerous, leading to a futile pursuit of more "stuff", costing more money, bringing the twin evils of debt & more work. The cases at the end of the three chapters I was able to listen to sounded like self-satisfied assholes. Very glad this book was free

Positive psychology 101 - and still ridiculous
You have heard it all before. As is always the case with pos. psych., the goal is to be happy, there's a list of things that have been proved to help you be happy, and if you just follow the 10 habits, you will become happy. The thing is, this is never the case. "Dr. Happy" even says so in the final episode, basically admitting that although it all sounds good, it will be hard and you won't be happy anyway. So really, what's the point?
This is just another list of tips and tricks to fool yourself into thinking that you are important and that happiness is a goal in and of itself. Don't bother.

Nope
Don’t waste your time. It’s absolutely useless. It’s like the inspirational quote version of a pod cast. Maybe if you’re not actually mentally ill it would...na even then I wouldn’t bother. Do yourself a favour and get a decent book, new mood journal by David burns or something else like that.

Can't keep listening
Oh my gosh, clichés and drivel, feel like I'm reading a low grade magazine article in a waiting room, discarded by someone else. Discarded for good reason. I'm finding happiness by stopping listening now.. Can't go on.

Pathetic and self absorbed.
Writer / narrator behaves like a child. Writes like this is the first time he’s held a pen. Do something brave! Jump out a plane!! Get some exercise! Have a great life already!
I am an able bodied relatively stable and moderately successful person (in terms of achievements and “material wealth”), yet this book is still just a “live laugh love” type of affair. If you do not own a boat or are independently wealthy, this book is not for you...
Read David Burns book instead.
These are not habits for happiness, unless one of Dr Tim’s habits was to write 10 useless episodes, pat himself on the back and think to himself “..and that’s how I became Dr Happy!” Sickening stuff.

Author clearly has no understanding of PTSD
The author obviously has no understanding of PTSD. To suggest that people who get it focused on the negatives and not the positive outcomes of the trauma, is ludicrous and an insult to so many who have served. PTSD is not comparable to people who have benefited from trauma. PTSD is the subconscious brain defending itself/reliving it. Someone can have PTSD and still grow from their trauma at the same time. Unbelievable how this even got published. I couldnt continue after that as it completely discredits everything else he has to say. This is a disgrace.

Great commonsense advice
This was a really appealing podcast. Nothing groundbreaking, but really good steps that are achievable, and motivating without being all American and shouty. I've already got lots of simple ideas that will help me kick start a happy new year.

Definitely worth a listen!
Tim delivers no-nonsense, science-backed advice on cultivating happiness in this series and I couldn't get enough. His delivery is warm and engaging and so easy to listen to. A great series for anyone looking to prioritise their well-being.

Got me thinking
Feels like one of those rare books that may actually make me change behaviour rather than put down and never think of again. I've already worked out some of my own habits for happiness.

simple but very effective
I really like how simple the steps were broken down, I have been going through some really tough times in my life and needed something to help guide me back to happiness even though happiness was all around me already. sometimes you just don't see it or subconsciously choose not to see it. this helped me to re-evaluate what is meaningful and gave me a clear path to set smart goals and achieve what I need, gotta say I'm not fully there yet but I am confident of where I will end up. thank you Dr Happy

very informative
easy to listen and very helpful in many aspects. it's been nice to realise that simple and obvious things of our everyday life underpin our happiness without seeking something particularly sophisticated.
