You will start feeling happier, even before you finish the book.

Dog lovers will immediately connect with the insights and realize that we can embrace the same joyful attitude as our dogs.

Reviews for Be as Happy as Your Dog: 16 Dog-Tested Ways to Be Happier Using Pawsitive Psychology

"""Be as happy as your dog is the most important book you will read this year. We have been so distracted with what we can teach our dogs, we never realized that one of our most inspirational, upbeat, optimistic friends are, and always have been, willing to share their philosophy with us. Based on the new research in positive psychology, Waitzman shows us how understanding our dog's mind and behavior can lead us to a happier, more fulfilling life. A pawsitively delightful read."" - Brian Hare, New York Times Bestselling author of The Genius of Dogs"
