"The Happy Life Checklist is chock full of ideas to brighten your life. It builds on her previous one (that I loved) called Bright Side Up. Check out this book."

"Why, when we are children, do we experience longer summers, lasting holidays, and intense euphoria for what now seems like routine? Those answers, and many more, are available to us in Amy Spencer's terrific new book, The Happy Life Checklist. Read it, and you will regain an appreciation for what it means to seize the moment."
--David Mezzapelle, bestselling author of Contagious Optimism

"In this upbeat guide to discovering moments of pleasure in everyday life, Spencer (Bright Side Up) shows readers how to reclaim the child within. It takes only a few minutes a day to nourish one's spirit, asserts Spencer, and a willingness to try new ideas, such as giving a hula hoop a whirl or singing out loud in the car. The author's 654 ideas are divided into ten thematic chapters with titles such as "Vitality," "Comfort," "Confidence," and "Tranquility." VERDICT: These suggestions are bound to generate liberating and enjoyable inspirations for readers."
