Book Reviews
“How to Be Happier in Less Than 30 Minutes” is a very practical handbook that anyone can use to work towards a joyful and more meaningful life. Written in 22 short but impactful chapters, its writing style is lively and narrative, and thus, is easy to understand and digest. Each chapter begins with picturesque illustrations to enhance the topic of the chapter. It offers very practical approaches that allows oneself to break through the vicious cycle of sadness and loneliness, which are prevalent in this post-pandemic era.
This book is truly an “owner’s manual” to a happier and more fulfilling life. The author, Architect Judy Uy, whom I have known for quite some time now, has exerted much time and effort to masterfully craft this gem of a book. Having this book in hand is truly a weapon at your arsenal when battling the foes of destitute and despair, and is a good tool to hand to others so that they may fight their own battles with it. If you have not grabbed a copy yet, please do so now, as you are doing yourself a great disservice for not reading this life-changing book.“

I would like to congratulate my friend Ms. Judy Uy, wife of an accomplished professional and mother of three lovely children, for her book ‘How to Be Happier.’ In these times when many people are not content with their lives, the book reminds us that often, happiness is within our control. The book’s engaging style makes it simple to digest, but more importantly, let us reflect on the strategies described in the book and practice them as best we can. Note: For those suffering from depression, anxiety, or other mental-emotional disorders, it is wise to consult a psychologist, psychiatrist, or other therapist asap.

I couldnโt put this book down! Judy has a real gift for explaining tricky psychological ideas in a way that just clicks. Itโs like sheโs sitting across from you, chatting over coffee about how to find happiness. No fancy jargon or confusing theories โ just practical advice you can actually use.
What really got me were the stories she shared. I kept thinking, โWow, thatโs exactly how I feel!โ or โI know someone just like that!โ It made the whole journey to happiness feel so much more real and achievable.
This isnโt just another self-help book gathering dust on your shelf. Itโs more like a friendly guide, breaking down the path to happiness into steps that donโt feel overwhelming. If youโre looking to make positive changes in your life, Iโd definitely recommend giving this one a read.

The book โ๐ป๐๐ค ๐ก๐ ๐ต๐ ๐ป๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ฟ๐๐ ๐ ๐กโ๐๐ 30 ๐๐๐๐ข๐ก๐๐ โ by Arch. Judy Christine Go Uy is a wonderful reminder to embrace gratitude in every aspect of life. It emphasizes the importance of celebrating small wins, acknowledging that progress is progress, no matter how incremental, and encourages a proactive approach to happiness.
One of the standout quotes from the book, โCreate your own happiness! Do not limit the happy moments you can create for yourself!โ, deeply resonated with me. This powerful statement enlightened me to actively seek and create joy in my everyday life, rather than waiting for happiness to come to me.

This book is as essential today as the various scriptures that guide and enlighten us in our daily lives. Finding happiness may be easy for some, but for others, it can be a challenging endeavor due to varying capacities, environments, and mindsets. Often, we forget even the most basic principles of how to achieve happiness, as we perceive our lives as complicated and full of struggles.
I highly recommend reading this book as a reminder of the best ways to become happier in less than 30 minutes. You will love it, and undoubtedly, you will want to share it with others!
