Book Review: O’s Big Book of Happiness

by Briana on November 8, 2008 · 23 comments


O’s Big Book of Happiness is a wonderful collection of over 100 inspiring articles from O, The Oprah Magazine. Even if you already subscribe to the magazine, there will be articles in there you don’t remember.

This book includes articles on beating the blues, weight loss, removing fears, making your dreams come true, and beauty tips. Articles come from a wide arrange of fabulous people including writers, artists, entrepreneurs, and political leaders. (Of course, it even includes include an article written by our newly elected President, Barack Obama about his first date with his wife. How cute!)

This book is a hardcover, collector’s type book with beautiful color photos throughout. As well as inspiring and motivating to read, it would look beautiful on display in your home. A great coffee table book.

This book is broke into the following sections:

  • Your Mind/Your Body focuses on emotional and physical well being like maintaining your health, building confidence, and finding a sense of happiness and purpose.
  • Dating, Mating, Relating provides tools and insights needed to forge better connections with partners, families, friends, and co-workers.
  • Dreaming Big offers inspiration and practical advice to aim high and realize your aspirations and dreams.

Within each of those sections are more in depth topics. A wide variety of topics are covered and while I haven’t finished reading all the articles yet…I’ve laughed, cried, and been inspired!

This newly published book is out just in time for the holidays! I’m sure Oprah will have this book on her favorite things list! I agree this book would be a great gift idea for any woman in your life!

Retail price is $29.95 but Amazon has it on sale right now for $19.77.

I’m also giving one away to one lucky reader HERE. Ends 11/21
