This book was very different from what I thought it would be. It is like a creepy ghost story. It is very interesting and I loved it. It starts out as Victoria, an educated British woman, boards an old steam ship to Europe. She is going to be a Nursing Officer and assist the surgeons.

Right away, she feels too intelligent for the people on the ship. She ends up insulting the people on the ship directly and indirectly. One woman puts Victoria in her place at dinner after growing tired of Victoria boasting all through dinner. All the men laugh and that embarrassed Victoria. She goes to sleep angry that night.

The next morning she woke on the floor as a large steam cargo ship crashed into theirs. She opened her cabin door to be greeted by smoke, fire and rising water. The ship is sinking. An explosion throws Victoria into the water. She manages to climb on a floating box and fall asleep.

The next morning she wakes up on an island. It has ancient ruins, statues, and a building. She finds a crazy lady on the beach she is terrified of and runs from. There is a cloaked women in the building but has no interest in harming Victoria.

This book is creepy and you must read it to find out what happens to Victoria. I love books by this Author which is why I said it was different than I thought. I buy his books knowing they will be a good read and they always are. I’ve read many of his books now and none are money wasted. I highly recommend this Author and his books.

Joy.ology: The Chemistry of Happiness

Joy.ology: The Chemistry of Happiness
https://www.amazon.com/dp/1973365340/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_IYfmAb6DSTJ7E

This book teaches about happiness, what actually makes you happy. There are 4 chemicals in your brain to thank for happiness: Dopamine, Serotonin, Endorphins, and Oxytocin.  I agree with this book in money doesn’t make you happy.

I have seen this where I work. Bottom employees aren’t happy about their rate of pay. Mid managers are too tired from working the extra hours. My store manager is always tired from working all the extra hours and listening to employee and customer complaints all day.

Happiness and unhappiness are chemically created in your brain. The 4 chemicals help make you happy. How you negatively react to a situation, stress releases too much cortisol chemical in your brain and can cause unhappiness.

I agree with the information in this book. It is well written and easy to follow and understand. I highly recommend this book to everyone to help increase the amount of happiness in their own life.
