Can you really get happy for less than $1?
Well according to the iPhone (iPad, and iPod Touch too) app Get Happy, yes, you can.
When life gives me lemons I just want to make lemonade… with a little sugar. I mean really, who in life wants to be miserable? I know I don’t. Some days I just don’t know how to get out of the funk I’m in and using the Get Happy app I’ve been able to explore ways to improve myself, my mind and in turn… maybe not yell at my kids so much.
Features:
- Learn skills to effectively deal with painful thoughts and feelings and provide clarity about what is really important in your life. This knowledge will guide, inspire and motivate you to make changes for a better life.
- You will receive a tip every day, similar to having a clinical psychologist nudge you in the right direction for raising your personal happiness.
- The tips are organized based upon four pillars of happiness: relationships, leisure, personal growth and work & education.
- A key feature is a self-rating system that prioritizes daily tips based upon areas in your life most in need of improvement.
- Get Happy provides psychological strategies in a portable and accessible way, perfect for even the busiest individuals’.
It features hundreds of tips you can actually use to improve various aspects of your everyday life. Included are tips for improving your relationships, personal growth, leisure, and balancing your work life.
What I like is that users can rate their own happiness within their lives and get tips based on their current happiness level. Using the tips can help you improve upon the areas they rated lower than the others. This app and most of the tips in it were crafted by a clinical psychologist to bring simple, effective tips to users on a daily basis. You can also share tips on Twitter and Facebook by just a click of a button. Your friends and family will have to download the app but they won’t be sorry they did so it’s a win/win.
So hmm.. therapist for a $300+ per hour and after the hour your time is up and your money is gone or spent 99 cents and you can use it everyday. Do I think it’s worth it? Yeah…this app is totally worth the 99 cents.
Disclosure: This is a partnered post. All opinions are mine and I hope this helps you become happier like it helps me.

Yeah, this app is great – i’ve used it for a while. But one of the restriction is that these tips are not flexible. They are same time to time while and have less value in future.
I found an app called “In Flow”. It’s based on psychology theory of “Flow”. it’s free. You get tips, but they are based in checkins you made. They suggest you to, for example, to switch form reading to chatting, because, according you checkins, you feel better when chatting rather when reading. And so on.
Moreover, there are statistics called Best and Worst – know exactly where you feel your self better, with whom and while which activities. Just see their AppStore reviews (US)
Hope, my tips was helpful
Best,

That is a very interesting idea. It would be good if someone sticks to it.
that is so awsome
I am going to have to check out this app. We can all use a brighter outlook sometimes.
What a cute app.
This app sounds fun.
I’ve got this app and it’s great!
I just got my daily tip a few minutes ago. Love that little burst of positivitiy in the middle of my day!
I downloaded this tonight- can’t wait to check it out!
I’m sure this app is entertaining and the tips are probably interesting, however I’m not so sure an app can make someone happy…
I think it’s just the tips in general that can help you become happier. Maybe looking at things in a more positive light, remembering a tip you were given and it changes your mood. You won’t download the app and instantly feel happy – no. lol
Sounds like a great app! This make a great pick-me-up during those blah moments, but sadly it’s not available for the Windows phone (they need more apps!).
Someone else mentioned this app, it looks great
I need a happy ap! Well, first I’d need an iSomething to get my happy on! LOL!
Sounds like a great idea, but after having read a nice thought sent to me via my iphone, I would bet it wouldn’t take me long at work to quickly forget about that and be just as angry as I usually am. I work in the trucking industry, so it’s brutal sometimes and not sure an app would help with my frustrations!
this seems like a cute app and could be helpful as a reminder of what is important and how to keep yourself moving forward.
They have an app for everything but this sounds pretty interesting
I need some happy today with all this rain!
I love this idea. I have to look for this app.
