If you are serious about finding books that will make you smile, look no further. Don't let the title fool you; Katie Heaney doesn't just spend her time feeling down about her 'lackluster' dating life or like she's missing out on everything. Instead, she puts everything into perspective by dishing on her hilarious adventures (with her best friends by her side) and how struggling to find love actually ended up helping her find herself along the way.

Could there really be anything wrong with a book that revolves around the idea of finding ways to be happy? From Gretchen Rubin's spot on words about not wasting any time to go out there and follow your dreams to her refreshing candor, I love how heartfelt and just plain inspiring the message behind this book is.

I don't think it's possible for a list of uplifting and inspiring books to exist without featuring the man whose writing is practically the definition of happy. Dr. Seuss paints a bright picture of the future in this sweet read.

Lastly, promoted as a tale for "people who follow their hearts and make their own rules", Richard Bach's vision is simply breathtaking.

This book shows how believing in yourself can go a long way in regards to following your dreams.

No matter what mood you are in, the messages behind these books will deeply resonate with you. All of these stories are simply beautiful beyond words. What other books never fail to put a smile on your face?
