About this listen

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.

A very good listen. Listened to the first 5 chapters before going on a camping weekend with friends then listened to the rest on the drive back with my partner, we both thoroughly enjoyed it and are big fans of Bill. I like to think that listening to it and reflecting on the weekend camping and correlating similarities to the weekend and the subjects raised in the book, our outlook on life in general has brightened for a while and helped us confirm what life's really about. Would highly recommend to anyone of any age or background. Very feel good.

Excellent!

Thoroughly enjoyable, I'm a big Bill Bailey fab and this made me like him even more, written with the same irreverent humour you see in his stand up and with some genuinely worthwhile tips for how to be happy

A joy to listen to

Felt like I was having a chat over a cuppa or on a stroll with a cheerful friend. Life affirming, warm and funny.

What an enjoyable listen. I agree with another reviewer - this should be prescribed on the NHS. If everyone listened to this and followed the advice/took on board the lessons then there would be fewer people with anxiety and depression. Just look at the chapter titles and GET OUT AND DO SOME OF THEM.
Everyone would benefit from listening to this audiobook, whether they have health problems or not.
Thank you Bill Bailey.

I love Bill he’s a great bloke and top comedian with some unique musical skills that give his shows such a unique edge. I enjoyed this audible book though shorter than most. Overall it was a good idea and well researched, written and narrated by Bill. However, some points left me thinking ok Bill sounds nice but I’m not sure people will adapt your thoughts in the real world. Probably do what most of us do…nod along as we listen as you can’t argue with his ideas or help but agree with him, but then carry on regardless. It’s always tough to provide insight to people as in my experience everyone often has tough lives to manage in many forms so unless ‘happiness’ advice truly resonates with us ordinary folk and seems achievable it’s likely to fall on deaf ears soon enough. Still it’s just Bill’s take on things and certainly worth a listen to as it’s funny heart warming and interesting with facts and historical elements. Good work Mr B

A wonderful reflection on how to extract joy from life, told with the gentle humour and surreal flourishes we’ve come to expect from BB.
