Happiness Recipe: 5 Common Ingredients by Manuela Timofte brings us to the Tuesday Book Blog feature on my blog together with a book review and a FREE Amazon eBook special.
Happiness Recipe In Manuela Timofte’s words:
“A personal recipe for happiness could be shown by each person through his life experiences. It doesn’t mean the recipe will work for others. We are all human, but we are different. Each of us is another facet of humanity, physically, mentally and spiritually. We are unique, and so is our recipe for happiness. It will be the expression of everyone’s uniqueness.
“There are many things that I call “ingredients” that we all know, and they make us happy. I chose five of them. If you desire to read the pages of this book, you will see that you also know those things and have them in your life. When you use or apply them in your life you are happy. By doing it all the time, you can live happily every day…”

Happiness Recipe by Manuela Timofte, Book Review
A beautiful read to finding positivity in one’s life.
Manuela Timofte, teacher, BA in English and Psychology, MRes in Developmental Psychology from Oxford Brookes University, editor, avid gardener and writer, shares her personal life experiences and lessons learned, her personal recipe for happiness in a candid way, the result being an optimistic, motivational approach to lead a happy life, filed with anecdotes and easy to read.
The book is divided in five parts, each dealing with a different aspect regarding the Happiness Recipe, and each a part of everyone’s life, together forming a natural progression towards leading a happy life. These are: beginnings (as a way of celebrating them) including fear in its many forms and how fear can be overcome; personal dreams (and why it is paramount that we fulfill them), the perfect perfume (the main ingredients of a well-balanced life), laughter as a social connection and the best medicine, and love.
Happiness Recipe is a book meant as a starting point in aiding each reader discover and understand what his personal recipe for happiness is. Through her optimistic approach to life and by turning her life experiences into positive lessons, Manuela Timofte succeeded in writing a motivational self-help book that is easy to follow as well as an enjoyable read.
Happiness Recipe has several key points of interest can be read as a motivational, a self-help, or an encouragement book. I would recommend Happiness Recipe to teenage readers in search of guidance, to young families, or to more seasoned readers in search of motivation for turning their life around.
