Book Review: Hector and the Search for Happiness




I randomly found this audio book on my hoopla app, and I truly enjoyed the insight that this book shared.
I personally have been struggling with my search for happiness, so I thought that I would share the different lessons that Hector has discussed. I hope that if you find yourself struggling with happiness as well, that you would be able to gain some insight from this list.
  1. Making comparisons can spoil your happiness
  2. Happiness often comes when least expected
  3. Many people only see happiness in their future
  4. Many people think happiness comes from having more power or more money
  5. Sometimes happiness is not knowing the whole story
  6. Happiness is a long walk in beautiful, unfamiliar mountains
  7. It’s a mistake to think that happiness is the goal
  8. Happiness is being with the people you love; unhappiness is being separated from the people you love
  9. Happiness is knowing that your family lacks for nothing
  10. Happiness is doing a job you love
  11. Happiness is having a home and a garden of your own
  12. It’s harder to be happy in a country run by bad people
  13. Happiness is feeling useful to others
  14. Happiness is to be loved for exactly who you are (People are kinder to a child who smiles)
  15. Happiness comes when you feel truly alive
  16. Happiness is knowing how to celebrate
  17. Happiness is caring about the happiness of those you love
  18. Happiness is not attaching too much importance to what other people think
  19. The sun and the sea make everybody happy
  20. Happiness is a certain way of seeing things
  21. Rivalry poisons happiness
  22. Women care more than men about making others happy
  23. Happiness means making sure that those around you are happy
Also while searching for more information about this book, I noticed that this book has been made into a movie. Trailer provided below



In additoin to Hector searching for happiness, there is another book about Hector and the secret of love and Hector and the search for lost time.
