Better Each Day: 365 Expert Tips for a Healthier, Happier You

Jessica believes small changes add up. That’s the idea behind Better Each Day, her first book. She was inspired by the life-changing facts she learned from  the experts she  interviewed and decided to put them together into a user-friendly guide. The result is a collection of gems of wisdom from more than 200 of the country’s top dietitians, psychologists, physicians, yogis, and more.

From one-step weight loss solutions to natural treatments for anxiety, thoughtful instruction on developing deeper relationships, and practical tips for reclaiming your health and happiness, the book offers a nugget each day so that you, too, can understand and harness the power of small changes.

The first tip in  Better Each Day  is Be the master of your own happiness.  If you’ve every uttered “I’ll be happy when….”  (fill in the blank here..get a new job, lose 5 pounds, move to Tahiti) the first tip  explains that research show  our happiness is not about what happens to us, but instead how we choose to live our lives.  The ratio appears to be 10% circumstance, 50% genetics and 40% how you choose to live your life. Jessica suggests creating a list of things that make you feel good and referring to it when times are tough. I say refer to it even when they’re not. Live your life doing the things that make you happy!

What I love about the book is that it’s actually do-able to take the daily thoughts and remain conscious of them for the day. Some may “stick”, some may not, but in any case, I think the title is true….Better Each Day.
