Reviews

The Happy Tank is a great way to help children consider practical tools to improve their mood when they're feeling low. -- Tom Percival, artist, illustrator and bestselling children's author John Magee is a tour-de-force in the world of kindness and this book doesn't disappoint. With an emphasis that happiness is a choice, The Happy Tank enables young people to make decisions that can bring happiness to their lives and make it a lived and breathed habit. Inspired by his own experience, John brings to life, with his characteristic wit, charm and good humour, the means for children to take charge of their own Happy Tank, how to fill and renew it and how to use it to come to the aid of others. Full of practical ideas, funny asides and honest reflection, John shows how gratitude, affirmation and authentic kindness can keep that Happy Tank alive and well. As John says 'Filling my Happy Tank is a Happy Habit and Happy Habits Make Me Happy!' Happiness is a habit, and an easy one to make part of our routines. A must-read for teachers and an excellent resource for children who are becoming more aware of their feelings. The Happy Tank needs a place in every school. -- Andrew Cowley, Wellbeing writer and speaker, Author of The Wellbeing Toolkit and The Wellbeing Curriculum The Happy Tank is the survival guide that our kids need in these times. The tools and techniques are presented in a simple and actionable way. There is no doubt that this will help kids and adults in their lives tap into their inner joy by filling up their happy tank. We don't need deep and complicated ideas, we need simple and practical steps that will get us closer to happiness. John, thank you for helping the next generation master wellbeing so that they can be their best version. You always help me fill up my happy tank, I know this book will do just what it promised. You are amazing and so is this incredible book. -- Action Jackson, UK Ambassador for Happiness, Author of Happy School 365 John Magee has hit the nail on the head with his latest book The Happy Tank! We all want our children and young people to be happy, of course, we do, and John shows them how. Through this book, they will gain a better understanding of themselves and others, and learn how to better help themselves and also those around them. It contains reminders and affirmations so that we do not slip back into old thinking. The book is full of humor. It's so accessible and we need to get this message out straight away. John, you have done it again - thank you for sharing this wonderfully important message. It's an absolute cracker! -- Drew Povey, From Channel 4's series Educating Greater Manchester
