What to expect
Is there a knack to being happy? From paddle-boarding down the Thames in a Santa hat, to wild swimming in a glacial river and cooking sausages on a campfire, Bill revels in the exhilaration of the outdoors, as well as the quieter pleasures of letter-writing, or of simple reflection.
In this beautiful and uplifting audiobook, Bill Bailey explores all this and more while delving into the nature of happiness, all in his own, remarkable, way.
Packed with wisdom and humour Bill Bailey aims for the heart of pure joy and contentment - and how we can all achieve it.

Absolutely loved this book narrated by the man himself (that made all the difference).
It is a very gentle book with kindly pointers to what makes the author happy, and allows room for the reader to think that the same might just apply to them.
A few chuckles along the way gives a feel-good to the whole narrative.
I will listen to this again.misdirect 2025-12-03
