Revisiting fifteen years of the magazine's rich archives, O's editors have assembled a collection as stunning as it is spirit-lifting.

22 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is mostly just a series of very short essays about the things that make these particular individuals especially happy. They're cute, but not all that special for me I guess. There were a couple that stood out to me though and I am happy I read. And it wasn't a large investment of time, so decent.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5O's Little Book of Happiness is exactly what the title states: little stories about everyday happinesses. I swear that I could physically feel little jets of happiness enter my bloodstream as I read along in the pages of this book. It is quite delightful. Perfect little boosts of happiness in each story.
