Lately, it just feels like there's been more bad news in the world than usual. In an effort to prevent all of us from spiraling into a deep depression, I made this book of quick and easy ways to feel happier.

With 24 suggestions like 'Wrestle your mailman' and 'Steal a dog,' the options may seem a bit bizarre. However, the rationale behind each suggestion is often based on more grounded advice.

    Y'all need to take the dog's feelings into consideration too. He looks pretty darn happy to be stolen.

    I get that it's a joke, but why steal a dog? You ruin someone else's day, screw with the dog, and potentially get in trouble with the law...

    I dont think this is a good idea...AT ALL! They are usually brain-washers...and not for the better! (Ex. The Jim Jones Incident) Mass suicide!

    A fair amount of religion could be seen as a cult. Doomsday cults, for example, usually have their roots in religion. Definitely Westboro Baptist Church.

    Taco John's would be better. Taco John's is only in the midwest. Much better than Taco Smell. Great Potatoe Ole's.
