7 Positive Books To Inspire Happiness

Good thoughts can transform your life and one of the best ways to develop this attitude is through positive books. Reading positive and encouraging books can enable you to grow stronger and become happier in different aspects of your life. Below are seven books that I suggest adding to your reading list. These books are based on positive thinking and will help build a positive mindset.

1. 365 Days of Happiness by Jacqueline Pirtle

365 Days of Happiness by Jacqueline Pirtle is a light, bubbly and motivating book which draws your focus to the beauty and positivity in everyday life. It’s the perfect book to read everyday and personally I find the best time to read is before going to sleep, to get that extra dose of happiness and to shift your mind into a “high for life” frequency.

Jacqueline Pirtle, author, energy healer, and mindfulness teacher created 365 Days of Happiness to inspire daily and help us live more mindful. To find joy and fulfilment in the things we do and experience every day and to embrace whatever life throw at us.

“Jacqueline decided to spend every day of 2017 devoted to her own happiness. She wrote every single day about the things she does to honour her joy, and used these writings to create this 365 day step-by-step guide, so she could teach you how to shift to BE and live in a “high for life” frequency of happiness too—no matter where you are at in your life right now.”

2. You are a Badass by Jen Sincero
