    “Mind-expanding and hilarious! I got smarter reading this!”—Jeff Kinney, author of the international bestselling series Diary of a Wimpy Kid 
      
    Science meets Diary of a Wimpy Kid in this original middle-grade fiction series that blends science with narrative from bestselling author Jorge Cham, the Emmy Award–nominated creator of PBS’s Elinor Wonders Why 
      
    Oliver needs a new computer because nobody wants to play with him as every move and save takes way too long. To raise money, he has the brilliant idea to write another book and sell it at school. So, he picks a topic he thinks lots of kids will like—animals. But when he starts to think about it, he wonders where do animals come from, and that leads him to wonder where life comes from and how animals evolve. Subjects range from the origins of life (primordial soup and life in early Earth—mostly scum/bacteria) to small organisms and fish to dinosaurs, of course! Mass extinctions. Cats, dogs, horses and chickens. And oh yes, people! 
      
    Along with making his new book, Oliver’s also doing chores for neighbors to make money, including odd jobs for the old cat lady down the street, who, as it turns out, is a retired paleontologist. (Not just any paleontologist, but as it’s revealed later, a famous one.) As Oliver does chores for her, she fills him in on the history of life on earth. 
      
    Meanwhile, Oliver is doing great with his group of friends. But as they all get excited to help him with the book, this causes trouble, leading to a mild breakup of the group which all gets resolved at the end in typical Oliver-esque humorous fashion. 
      
    With laugh-out-loud humor from bestselling writer and the creator of PHD Comics Jorge Cham, Oliver’s Great Big Universe is a STEAM-themed, diary-style series following one kid who’s taking on the whole universe—if he can survive middle school first.

    ********************** 
    Nowadays it's very easy to find negativity. Not only because there are more and more sources, but because negativity sales. Newspapers, TV, Radio, magazines, social media. Everywhere you turn you hear about natural disasters, murders, kidnappings, frauds. This makes it very difficult to have a positive attitude. Difficult but not impossible! 
    In this book, I'll show you tips and techniques that will increase your happiness level. We'll discuss common problems we face and give practical solutions to those problems. 
    Please note: for full happiness, you can't use just one or two of the tips from this book. You have to use as many as possible. 
    The whole book is designed in a way that you can get back to it at any given moment and re-read only a specific part you need to refresh. 
    The best part is that I have lived through (and still living) all the things mentioned in the book. I don't reproduce a book I read in the past. Instead, I give you my actual techniques for a happy life. Techniques that you can apply straight after you finish a chapter. 
    Put together educational content written in an easy-to-understand way, add practical examples, answers to common problems, and you'll get a fantastic read! 
    To your success
