Synopsis

WHAT MAKES US HAPPY? BILL BAILEY PLAYS CRAZY GOLF AND HUGS TREES TO FIND OUT.

Is there a knack to being happy? From paddle-boarding down the Thames in a Santa hat, to wild swimming in a glacial river and cooking sausages on a campfire, Bill revels in the exhilaration of the outdoors, as well as the quieter pleasures of letter-writing, or of simple reflection.

In this beautiful and uplifting audiobook, Bill Bailey explores all this and more while delving into the nature of happiness, all in his own, remarkable, way.

Packed with wisdom and humour Bill Bailey aims for the heart of pure joy and contentment - and how we can all achieve it.

One tap later and it was bought. Dangerous stuff, this... Anyway, the book itself was quite sweet, with Bill Bailey's cha......more

Goodreads review by Mandy

Bill Bailey is a very funny and clever man. I always love to watch his stand up and appearances on talk shows. But my favourite Bill Bailey role is absolutely Manny from Black Books. I can watch that show over and over and not get bored. He always manages to make me laugh. So when I saw that he had w......more

Goodreads review by Just

I'm getting a bit of a picture here. Comedians shoved back into their homes by lockdown, wondering what to do with their time. Their agent/editor says, "write a book! Oh, but it has to be done, dusted and released by mid-autumn so that Christmas shoppers will buy it. They're the ones who buy books b......more
