Make Someone Happy: A Creative Journal for Brightening the World Around You

Love this book so much. What an amazing and creative idea! I have already started implementing it into my life and have noticed a positive change around me.It is easy and fun to read and go through as you write out your thoughts, such a fun way to keep a journal..also its a great quality product too.I will be buying more as presents for friends and family this year...what a great gift! Especially for those people who are the hardest to buy for!!

I bought 3 of these books (1 for me and 2 as gifts for my adult kids) and we LOVE it! It can take a funky day/wonky mood and turn it around in a hot second. Highly recommend this little gem!

This book is so much fun and so beautifully made. With so many horrid news, it’s a relief to have something filled with happiness to turn to. Thank you Emily!

The idea of this book is wonderful. The content is often trivial, but I would overlook that for its message.

This is a great reminder to be more mindful on a day to day basis. I bought for myself and my two sisters. Love the message and the variance of ideas represented in this journal.

Amazing book! Great way to bring joy to your day and creative way to share and bring joy to others. Highly recommended.

Cute

This is such a sweet, fun pick-me-up book! My 14-year-old daughter loved it so much, too, that I gave it to her. xo

Thank you for the lovely book Emily. Seeing your posts on Instagram brings a little bit of joy to my day everyday so I had to buy your book when it came out. I have been experiencing an extremely hard time of depression over the past few months which has been the toughest thing I have ever ever gone through, and i have suffered with anxiety most of my life. I've had to take the first few steps to self recovery and i am using your book as well as a few other bits to help. Your book is on my pillow and every night I focus on a new page or set myself a goal to complete for the next day. It's helping to take my mind off things and for that I thank you very much.I'm one of the designers at Paperchase and I am happy to say i love seeing your cards in the store downstairs. You're doing a fab job, I hope you know that! Louise x

I'v been a massive fan of Emily's work on The Happy Newspaper and the other magical products she makes (Like her adorable postcards from Paperchase). Her artwork and unstoppable happiness is just that little extra brightness the world needs. This journal is just what everyone needs to escape the hustle and bustle of every day life. I have an invisible illness known as Ehlers Danlos syndrome type 3 (or EDS for short). It causes me unbelievable amounts of stress and pain (this ranges from joint problems to chronic depression) and I needed an escape to make me feel better, on the days I couldn't bring myself to leave the house. This little piece of magic from Emily has become my escape. It has given me the push I needed to tell my EDS to put a sock in it and be happy in everything I do. Thank you Emily! 🌈

This journal is the sweetest thing! I had wondered if it would be more writing (like chapters) but it's not, its all different positive messages, encouraging words, tiny challenges, places to write happy notes and gratitude, colouring in pages etc. done in her charming and unique style.Since looking through the book I think it's perfect she did it like that - Emily comes across so humble and would never assume she knows how to fix the huge issue of negative bias in the world (the way people and media give far more attention to the bad than the good). Personally, I think it's clear that she does know, choosing to focus on the good things in our own everyday lives and by doing small things to positively impact others we can balance out the bias.This book would make a great gift and I'll definitely be buying a few more copies for friends and family.

I’ve been struggling a bit recently so thought this might help. It’s a great way to encourage you to focus on the positives, even when it feels like there’s a lot of bad stuff going on. If you struggle to stick with it like me, consider doing a page a day (but more if you feel like it!).

Well what can I say! This book is MAGICAL!Even the front cover fills your heart with joy!I’ve been a huge fan of Emily for a long time so it only made sense to buy this book!And it is absolutely beautiful! If you know someone who’s feeling sad or needs cheering up I cannot tell you this is the most perfect gift. If your having a sad day it’s so beautiful to fill in and instantly puts a smile on your face it’s filled with the most thoughtful and heartwarming messages phrases and activitiesThis woman makes me happy anyway but it’s book is like my own little piece of her happiness and beautiful soul in my home
