How to Have a Good Day

This book is very strongly aimed at people in office jobs, not retail. That's not necessarily a critique, but it is a factor in how much I got out of it. I don't have regular meetings to prepare for, and my exercise comes from being on my feet all day, rather than a brisk walk to and from the office building. Outside of that, I did genuinely enjoy this and I feel like I got some good stuff from it. There's a few things that I read that I do already, like framing how I view my work or trying to be around people who are happy, and there were plenty of things that I'm intrigued by and would like to try to incorporate into how I do things. I read this as an ebook, but if it sounds interesting, I'd suggest getting a physical copy so you can actually refer to it and like, highlight and sticky note things.

What a promising title; who doesn't want to have more good day. But this book is like those listicles (an article that is structured as a list) with 100 items in it. It could also be titled 100 ways to have a good day. And like all listicles with more than 3 items in it, largely a waste of time cos you can never reliably take away more than a handful of the recommendations. Its not that any one recommendation is not good its just a stupid way to structure to a book that's trying to help people cos most of it is left on the paper, or whatever medium you're digesting it from. So, largely a waste of time. I recommend you look elsewhere for advice on this topic.
