If You Would be Happy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781684225941)

2021 Reprint of the 1962 Edition. Facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. If You Would be Happy by Ruth Stout is what a self-help book should be: tart, down-to-earth, realistic and sound advice from a woman who lived well and wasn't shy about sharing ideas that worked. Having helped thousands of gardeners to achieve success the easy way (in How to Have a Green Thumb Without an Aching Back), Ruth Stout now has something for anyone pursuing the age-old search for happiness. She reveals in down-to-earth fashion how you can be happy in your daily life here and now. Are you plagued by a constant swarm of resentments, anxieties, irritations? Are you often bored, lonely, depressed, beset by a chronic sense of dissatisfaction? Do you despair of anything ever being any better unless everyone around you changes-perhaps, unless the whole world is reformed? Then read this book!!!!
