The author&#8217;s writing style was very relatable and easy to follow. I especially will take on board the tips of an increase in water intake, exercise, and an increase in laughter \ud83d\ude42 It was also very interesting to learn about the happy hormones and the chemical reactions our body and mind have.  One of the Ahaa moments was a tip on list note-taking which will probably now change my life but I&#8217;m not going to give it away because you must read it. A prep talk equipping myself with tips and reminders, so I&#8217;m ready for the day.
