I bought the ebook last year and said I needed a hard copy since I own her two other books in hard copy. My physical collection is complete, and now her physical journey here is complete. I needed a major turn in my life, and her books have been amazing. THIS BOOK helped me clean up my karmic junk and progress to a happier me. Enjoy the next lifetime, Queen Mother!

5.0 out of 5 stars So inspiringReviewed in Canada on June 25, 2023

In this book Tina talks about HOW she overcame all the obstacles she faced. So many people need to hear this message and learn how to overcome their own challenges. This book will help you overcome whatever it is that you’re facing in your own life. I especially loved hearing anecdotes from her life growing up. The way she tells her story, you feel like she’s there with you. Very warm and personable. And a glimpse into the way she thinks and the mindset that she used to transform her life.

Tina Turner, one of the world’s most beloved performers, reveals the joyful wisdom behind her inspirational life story in her powerful new book about finding happiness, hope and love in your own life, "Happiness Becomes You: A Guide to Changing Your Life for Good."
A legendary singer, Tina has sold more concert tickets than any other solo artist in history. After her early hit songs including “Proud Mary,” her well-publicized hardships forced her to disappear from the music scene. She rebuilt her life by tapping into her spiritual strength and rose up to recreate her career with a string of megahits including her multi-platinum album "Private Dancer." During her 50th Anniversary Tour in 2009 she performed for more than a million fans.

Tina Turner is the queen of hope, the queen of inspiration, as well as the queen of rock n roll. This book is uplifting and emotional, deeply personal, and a pure joy to read. I've already been incorporating Tina's wisdom into my daily life and I'm happier for it. I'll be referring to her words over and over for motivation and clarity. Love the great and rare photos of Tina in it too. This book is a treasure!

This book is already life-changing, I can feel it. I was thinking I'd just start reading it when I received it in the mail yesterday and then finish later, but I literally couldn't put it down! I'm going to re-read it many times, I am certain. There is so much amazingly good, deep yet easily understandable material here about how to improve life, to see things more clearly, to be happier. It's really a masterpiece of inspiration.

This beautifully crafted book is like a hero's "origin story" of Tina Turner. It has already changed my life for the better. Tina opens up her heart so beautifully and shares things she's never talked about publicly before. She also explains parts of her well-known life story in a new light, from the perspective of her inner, private world. It's brilliantly written, weaving scenes from Tina's life with profound yet easy to grasp concepts that could help anyone live a happier life. Love the color page accents and photos too.

Fantastically inspiring memoir from the queen of rock, who is really the queen of heart. Every single page is a punch of positivity! Tina gets deeply personal in this book, and really opens up about how she got through the worst of times and also how she stays grounded in the best of times. I've got so many pages dogeared and so many places highlighted. This book is overflowing with goodness.

I've read all of Tina's books and this one, Happiness Becomes You, is by far my favorite. She reveals so many fascinating things about her process of overcoming obstacles and transforming negativity into positivity. As I read each page I felt like she's giving the world such important information! I've underlined and highlighted so many parts of my book, I'm sure I'll be going back to refer to the wisdom in this book for years to come. I also enjoy the photos of Tina, most of which I've never seen before, especially the ones in her home.

I never thought I'd find myself writing this, but it's 2020 and I've been spiritually enlightened by Tina Turner. You can feel her energy throughout and I didn't feel a strong push to any one religion. It's very much Tina and her life journey, and it made me really happy to read how she's found the strength to remain positive whatever happens and use that to bring happiness to everyone around her and beyond.

Excellent book in all ways. I rarely use terms like "life-changing" but I would definitely say this book contains life-changing wisdom. I believe it could even help the most pessimistic and jaded person feel optimistic and happier, that's the power of Tina Turner's life. The way she weaves philosophical material with her personal, intimate stories is really wonderful.

Tina Turner, Bodhisattva
Tina Turner is a true warrior of worldwide renown whose experience of overcoming abuse to become one of humanity's most famous solo performers is well known and documented, but not everyone knows about her deeply personal spiritual journey. In this book, Tina gives us an intimate glimpse into the practices that have grounded her for nearly half a century, helped her turn poison to medicine, and guided her toward becoming her truest and best self.

5 Plus -Simply The Best Stars-HBOMAX Documentary
* * * * * Plus, hahahahahahahaha
Ms. Tina Turner IS SIMPLY THE BEST. Unfortunately, I never got to see her live but oh how I rocked out to her music and adored her. This is one of the best documentaries I have recently seen and what makes it so special is all of the people who were there in the moment with her, speak. The actual footage of the times, the past interviews, and the glorious woman herself.
If you love music, love finding out all the little bits that aren't out in the mainstream, and can appreciate how hard life can be, having to reinvent yourself over and over again, then PLEASE, do yourself a favor and see this film.

Tina Turner has been an inspiration throughout my life. I have measured so many against what she has accomplished, right or wrong. The woman is SIMPLY THE BEST. PERIOD.
I cannot wait to see this, here is the trailer for the release on HBOMAX:

I've been a Tina fan for as long as I can remember. This book is "Simply The Best", I LOVE THIS BOOK. Tina provides a thoughtful, detailed, and inspiring guide for life. She tells how she learned these life lessons and viewpoints throughout her life, how it helped her get through her struggles, and then translates how anyone can apply these same principles to our own lives. Very well organized, clearly written, complete with selected quotes and pictures. The book is easy to read, is personally sized, and is perfect for anyone who wants some tips and fresh viewpoints how they can improve their own lives. Everyone from every walk of life, young or old, with any beliefs or religion, can enjoy this book. I'm going to buy a few more copies and give to some friends/family for a holiday gift. One of the best books I've read in a long time. I love this book!!

I enjoyed listening to HAPPINESS BECOMES YOU: A Guide To Changing Your Life For Good written by Tina Turner and expertly read by Adrienne Warren.
Did you know that Tina Turner was given that name by her first husband? Her parents named her Anna May and against her wishes, Ike changed her name to Tina Turner.
In this memoir she tells her life story and challenges she has overcome during her eight decades on planet earth.
There are lots of life affirming quotes.
As Tina Turner shares the story of her spiritual journey, we are introduced to chanting and Buddhism.
She leaves these parting words, "Please never give up!"

I just Love TINA. Tina brings to the world her life experiences, and how they in reality impact each of us. She---like multitudes of millions of women---have Enjoyed the BEST OF TIMES---and she has had the COURAGE AND THE STRENGTH TO ENDURE IN THE WORST OF TIMES. It is called LIFE. YOU DON'T GET TO PICK YOUR PARENTS---YOU DO GET TO PICK YOUR HUSBAND(s) YOUR CHILDREN MAY SOMETIMES DISAPPOINT YOU---and it adds up to LIVING IN THE REAL WORLD AND SURVIVING, WHILE SEARCHING FOR THE ANSWERS TO GET IT RIGHT!
LOVE YOU, TINA---YOU HAVE STILL GOT IT GOING ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO GIRL!

Reflections and lessons learned:
“Changing the scenery doesn’t mean changing the script...”
Everything is relative of course, but this is a person that it’s hard not to listen to after the life she’s lead, and battles that have been overcome - awe inspiring in so many ways. Interesting to hear an influential take on Buddhism too and the positivity found in chanting. I’m not someone that would listen to her music weekly necessarily, but what a powerhouse that is able to talk about healing and forgiveness in the face of adversity on a world stage. Rolling on a mighty river forward, turning poison into medicine - truly inspirational and perfectly timed release for help and guidance

Happiness Becomes You is full of Tina Turner's insight into her journey with Buddhism and meditation, as well as obstacles she's overcome in her life by finding something positive to focus on. She isn't "preachy", instead cheering readers on to find that one thing that drives us each individually to strive to be our best selves.
Her story and her positivity is incredible, she seems to down to earth and I can understand why she continues to be such a beloved musician/public figure after more than five decades in the public eye!

Honest and open account of her spiritual life and Buddhist practice. It is full of love and compassion and encouragement for everyone.
As Tina writes in her closing: “Please never give up! Keep on making the impossible possible, turning poison into medicine so you may become truly happy, because happiness becomes you forever.”

i don't even know what i was expecting of this book. i think i expected it to be lovely, fun and well-written, since it is a book by tina turner. i got that right, of course: the way she imprints her soft cadence and her grace in her words if fabulous, it makes you feel at ease, like you know her. the way she speaks with objectiveness and clarity about the hardships of her life story also set me in a good mood, because i related a lot to that: i've come from an unhappy and abusive childhood home and i tend to speak about it with so naturally that it scares off some people or puts them off, because truth be told, people are usually running away from their own traumas, so they are unlikely to want to discuss yours or mine. but tina - i called her anna in my head throughout the whole book, though - does exactly that, and by sharing even the most painful memories of her life, which aren't few, she creates an instant connection to the reader, because you know she's opening up. but the book is far from a self-help guide alone: she knows her shit, y'all. she invites anyone who doesn't know the first thing about buddhism or spirituality into the flow of the book, providing insights and actual research on history, philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, even astrophysics at some points, and she sews all of this with her autobiography and even a little bit of the biographies of her mentors and companions. she makes it pallatable and inviting to go into the world of spirituality. i'm biased, of course, since i was already into this world for a little while and i'm looking to expand rather than discover, kinda, but i guarantee you that even if you've never ventured through the world of spirituality, particularly buddhism, you won't feel lost or put off by this book. i think you'll find yourself craving for more, actually. i got really emotional at times, reading this, because it was exactly the kind of read i was needing at the moment. it inspired me to do so much with my energy and my focus and my dreams. i hope it does the same for you!~

A wonderful book!
I felt like I was sitting down with an old friend drinking tea and having good conversation. A very relaxing informative read. Yes, I can say Im actually happier for having read it! I love her style of story telling. Very comforting. Im glad Tina survived her ordeals and came out the other end a better, happier person.

I gave this 3 stars because it was Tina. Otherwise it might be a 2. I didn’t find it especially authentic or revealing. Anecdotes on her life as many already knew it if you read her autobiography and quotes from other great minds. A few things about the impact of chanting and Buddhism on her life but none of the concepts were particularly earth shattering. A lot of what I’ve heard in snippets here and there.

This book blew my mind. Profound wisdom on every page yet still so easily and gracefully explained. It's really a masterful, elegant journey through Tina Turner's heart and mind. It shows how, in practical ways, she changed her inner world and then by changing herself she changed her circumstances. My life and daily feelings of happiness are already greatly improved by this book.
