LA RECENSIONE

"Happiness is within you", practically immediately I asked myself: "Is he talking to me?", no because it takes courage, a lot of courage to write essays (even four a year) that systematically revolve around a single word, Happiness!

The simplicity of this project, I don't even know if it can be defined as such, lies precisely in dispensing pop psychology, comparable to the good advice of mothers and grandmothers with the difference being that those are given for free and from the heart, while these are coated with a veneer of scientificity and promoted as solutions to your problems: Trust me!

Probably the most obvious question at this point is the following: "Who the *heck* told you to buy it?"... Let's not joke, this is the classic essay (?) you find under the Christmas tree and nothing should make you happier than your mother-in-law's little gift, alas!

We had just unwrapped the gifts and nothing could prevent me from sharing with you what "apprehension" and Happiness I had done it.

Don't worry, I care too much about you not to ask a little question: do you want me to talk to you about the latest Maroon5 CD as well? You just have to tell me and Overexposed will be all yours.

P.S.: Happy 2013 to everyone!

Summary by Bot

This review offers an ironic and skeptical take on Raffaele Morelli's book 'La felicità è dentro di te', criticizing its simplistic approach to happiness. The reviewer compares the advice to clichéd words from family members but coated with a superficial scientific tone. The book is framed as a typical, uninspiring holiday gift, prompting a playful question about alternative music recommendations. Overall, the review expresses disappointment and a lack of genuine value.
