14,000 Things to Be Happy About. Newly Revised and Updated

Something to be happy about: This mesmerizing bestseller is revised and updated. Originally published 25 years ago (happy anniversary!) from a list that Barbara Ann Kipfer started making as a child, it’s the book that marries obsession with happiness. And it now has 4,000 fresh and more current reasons to be happy:

Rabbit tracks in the snow.
Kiteboarding and kitesurfing.
Caramel gelato.
Scoring super-high on a Scrabble turn.
Babies burping.
Summer storms.
White cupcakes with multicolored sprinkles.
Big red barns.
20 minutes all to yourself.

No opinions, no explanations, no asides, no footnotes, editorializing, or proselytizing. Just the simple premise of a list of things that make us smile. With its chunky shape, striking black-and-white cover, and 100 whimsical illustrations by Pierre Le-Tan, the new 14,000 Things is an irresistible catalog of good thoughts completely updated to reflect today’s world.

This is the book to browse when you need a gentle reminder that joy lives in the smallest moments—the smell of rain on pavement, finding money in an old coat pocket, the sound of the ocean from your window. It’s a perfect companion for a quiet afternoon at the shop or a gift for anyone who could use a little more lightness. Keep it on your nightstand, flip it open at random, and discover what makes your heart a little fuller today.
