Default Happier

There is a new book out simply called Happier by a Harvard Ph.D.
His name is Tal Ben-Shahar.
It seems he started teaching students on how to be happier and all of a sudden his courses became super duper popular.
It's fairly easy to read and is divided into three parts.
He teaches a person:
1) What happiness is, 2) How to apply it (at work, home, etc.) and 3) Provides Meditations/Tools to help learn about happiness
He talks alot about the value of a healthy self esteem/positive psychology.
My guess that using his techniques, combined with medication (as needed) could do a world of good.
Anyone have their spirits lifted by reading this type of literature?
