Happiness

by Z. B. Hill

Overview

Get ready to be happy! Things that happen outside you can trigger feelings of happiness. When that happens, it changes something inside your body. Those inside changes are what create the happy feeling you experience. Happiness is a good teacher. You can learn a lot from it. You can also learn to control it. When you're not feeling happy, it's easy to blame the world around you. You probably feel as though there's nothing you can do to change the situation. But that's not what scientists say. Research shows you have a lot to say about how happy you are. Discover how!

Editorial Reviews

11/01/2014
Gr 7 Up—These books provide a multifaceted overview of common emotions, offering explanations that are always informative and never heavy-handed or obvious. For example, Fear and Anxiety describes anxiety as "apprehension about something that isn't right in front of you." The books make effective use of fictional stories that give a human face to the emotions (for instance, a girl named Mya's uneasiness about an upcoming soccer game is used to describe anxiety). Readers also learn about the physical symptoms that can result from feelings and about what is happening in the brain. A discussion of how even the most negative emotions can play a positive role will be enlightening. Graphics help visual learners conceptualize abstract ideas. For instance, a "Stress meter" shows the levels of anxiety on a barometer from "coping" to "stressed" to "anxiety attack." Activity suggestions, such as drawing a neuron, are as top-notch as the rest of the content. Strong offerings.
