Every Day a Friday by Joel Osteen gives advice on how to choose to be happy every day and not let circumstances steal your joy. It is an inspirational book that I think anyone could benefit by reading. There are a lot of good ideas in this book involving our relationship to others. One of the topics that spoke to me most was to Make sure you see people through eyes of love, not eyes of judgment. (P. 190) His illustration about the rude checkout clerk really stood out to me.
I found this book to be a challenge to live as God intends us to live—full of joy and seeking to help and encourage others. As a result of reading this book, I am going to make it a point to smile more, laugh often, and encourage others. The seven major sections are broken down into small chapters that make it easy to read a little at a time instead of it being a page-turner that you don’t want to put down. I would recommend this to anyone. If people would put these principles into practice, the world would be a better place.

In Every Day A Friday Joel Osteen describes how you can be happy every day of the week, not just on Friday at 4:00 p.m. for me. The bad news for me is that I fall far short of this. The good news is that I'm not the only one. Through stories, which I thought was the best part of the book, and Bible teachings, he tells you how. I am going to try to find some middle ground. I just don't think I can be that happy all the time, but I liked this book a lot!

I've been reading a few self-help, inspirational books on how to achieve, be healthy, true to self, etc., and this one sounds like one to add to the pile!
