What does it mean to be happy to you? Are you being kind to yourself? "The Pursuit of Happiness" by Paul Lucas Scott takes readers on an incredible journey toward pursuing happiness. The book explains that different things bring happiness to different people. Thinking that being financially stable and achieving his career path would bring happiness, the author still felt a sense of dissatisfaction and embarked on a journey of incredible research to understand what it means to be happy.

This book is immersive as it tackles sensitive human challenges like the loss of loved ones and low self-esteem and offers a lifelong solution to readers. It defines what happiness is, offering solutions to problems like lack of self-awareness and comparing oneself to others, lifestyle choices that promote happiness, and building lasting happiness. The author also did an incredible job researching this book because it had so many references at the end that made it impressive. It offers practical strategies that make one reflect on his or her life.

I loved the teachings about being kind to oneself and not always judging oneself so harshly. I also liked how the author related the thoughts of great philosophers like Aristotle, as well as using physiological examples like the release of feel-good hormones and powerful neurotransmitters that contribute towards a happy life.

The book was thought-provoking, educative, and interesting. There was nothing I disliked about the book. I give this book a perfect rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Because the book was meticulously edited, the lessons were insightful, and I found nothing to dislike about the book.

The book is a perfect read for people fighting anxiety, depression, and anyone afraid to seek help with their mental health problems. I would also recommend it to people who have difficulties appreciating their little achievements and are pessimistic, and to people who don't acknowledge their vulnerabilities.
