How to Live a Good Life

I really enjoyed the format of this book. I struggle with depression and general lack of motivation and the structure of this book (the bucket metaphor and the strategies offered to fill them) was really easy for me to take in. I read this book in about a day because I checked it out from Overdrive and only decided to actually read it with 2-3 days left on the checkout timer, so I took notes on each strategy for each bucket.

I'm not sure how or if I'll implement all of the strategies, but I vibed well with this book.

It's a practical book about how to live a good life strongly based on positive psychology.
The idea is simple: we have 3 buckets in life that need to bed kept full for enjoying life. The buckets are: Vitality, Connection and
Contribution. We are presented with 10 experiments that aims to take care on each one of the buckets.
I was glad to know that many of the actions proposed were already part of my daily routine. Things like: meditating, exercising, practicing compassion, thinking about values and planning.
It's a “feel good” that can brings lots of interesting suggestions on how can we suffer less and live life more fully.
