Researchers developed an innovative way to test this without the subjects knowing what was going on--they had the subjects hold a pencil in their teeth, which simulates a smile. Those subjects did experience an increase in happiness. It does not necessarily follow, however, that the same effect to the same extent will be experienced by consciously attempting to alter your own mood by smiling. This book does not purport, however, to be a scholarly analysis of psychological research, and Wiseman usually inserts appropriate nuance when research is uncertain on an issue.

It works out to only about 30 pages per topic (compare that to the shelves of self help books on each topic).
So many myths about human behavior are turned upside down in this book! The myth that brainstorming with a group of people will come up with better ideas is exploded. If you want a "first date" to be successful, take your date to some activity that will get your excitement levels up, that will elevate your heart rates.
And that's what this book is - lots of little ideas that are designed to help you out. Put a mirror in your kitchen, put a baby photograph in your wallet, buy small gifts for no reason.
Richard Wiseman knocks my socks off every time he publishes. If you're going to read his work, though, I have a couple of caveats for you:
The suggestions here are backed by research, and are very easy to implement. I Minas Gerais might make a goal of focusing on one a month until I become so happy I'm insufferable. I liked it.

The blurb from the usually Anuncia no Facebook excellent Simon Singh on the rear cover led me to expect a debunking of self-help manuals and armchair psychology similar to Singh's own debunking of alternative medicines (Trick or Treatment by Singh & Ernst). There was a little of this, and some of it was fun and interesting. But all too often the debunking relied on experiments Alberto Silva Jornalista that seemed equally suspect (riddled with assumptions, speculation and small sample sizes). On these flimsy foundations was then built yet another self-help manual, only a little less trite than those it dismisses. A disappointment. ...more flag 3 likes · Like
- Praise a child's effort, not their ability. - Visualize yourself working through the process of achieving your goal rather than the actual success. Visualization from a third person perspective seems to be more effective.
The only slight criticism of Wiseman's use of the research is that he doesn't discount the effects on efficacy from the self-awareness that one is using a method. Often, in the underlying research, the subjects were not aware of the way in which they were being manipulated, and it is not necessarily obvious that the same benefits will accrue to someone fully aware of what he is doing and why. For example, Wiseman points to research indicating that although happiness causes people to smile, the same effect works in reverse--that smiling can actually cause someone to be happier.
