~~|author=Lee Crutchley~~

~~|title=How to Be Happy (or at least less sad): A Creative Workbook~~

~~|rating=4~~

~~|genre=Lifestyle~~

|summary=I gave up hoping for happiness many years ago and settled instead for enjoying contentment when it arrived and trying to make the most of it. 'Happiness' seemed to be rather like 'privileges' - something which you shouldn't expect as of right. Most of the time it works well, but just occasionally an extra boost - a new approach - is needed. Lee Crutchley has suffered from depression and he knows that this book is not going to help when you're clinically depressed, but those of us who have been down that road know that there are certain laybys where you stop and possibly turn around.
