Even a New York Times—bestselling happiness expert can need advice!
In his trailblazing Harvard courses, internationally bestselling books, and lectures and videos, positive psychologist Tal Ben-Shahar has shared his essential, scientifically backed tools for finding fulfillment the world over. But even the happiness expert needs a boost from time to time! Tal found his not in a guru or fellow psychologist, but rather in his longtime neighborhood barber, Avi—a man with a gift for making his clients look and feel great with wisdom beyond his years.
Tal’s visits to Avi soon grew into a friendship deeper than most. Between snips, the two men talked about everything from family and starting a business to the meaning of life and the power of music. Two years of their revelatory barbershop talk have been distilled into these gems of inspiration—perfect to give, receive, and share, even between haircuts.

Very sweet book that offers doses of stories and happiness anecdotes. Very mitch albom-esque that are nice quick reads for people who enjoy this type of writing.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book - all opinions are my own.
This is a lovely, quick read that focuses on very short bits of advice that Tal Ben-Shahar has mined from his barber over the course of two years. The advice is general and easily applies to all of our lives, with a focus on how to live a happy and contented life.
This is very light reading, and does good work in light-hearted reminders not to take life to seriously.

I love the idea of SHORT CUTS TO HAPPINESS, with Harvard trailblazing teaching whiz and positive psychologist Tal Ben-Shahar turning to his barber for advice. He’s got the whole world of academia and tons of psychology research available to him, and he finds the guy who cuts his hair may be the wisest guru of them all. Fun, funny, inspirational, and definitely gift-worthy! 5/5
