Have you ever wondered who is the happiest woman on Earth? I Googled it but I found none. Instead, I found a book that can help you become one.
You Can Be The Happiest Woman In The World is a book by Dr. A’id al-Qarni. It contains reminders on how to be happy as a woman. It is based on Islam but I found a few reminders to be very universal and important in becoming genuinely happy.
