Review: Best Trade Book I've Read in a Decade - This book popped up on my desertcart suggestions, and initially I was not going repurchase it because I'm fiercely "old school" and was not interested in an e-book. But, I read the review and it spoke to the heart of my exhausted, stressed out, burned out, and overwhelmed (but at the bottom kind and well-intentioned) teacher mind. It was exactly what I needed to refocus, recharge, and strike out again after Spring Break with a new focus on not being a cranky, stressed out teacher, but a happy and effective one instead. The wisdom is practical and doable. I found myself nodding my head along and saying audibly "yes, yes, that's how I feel" and "exactly right, that's how it is" repeatedly throughout the book. I even took notes in my notebook to help my craving for paper. I would recommend this book to any teacher, young or more experienced, who genuinely wants to do an exceptional job, but feels (as Linsin says in Chapter 2) they have been walking around with "a two ton refrigerator" on their back. If you are a teacher, you know what that means, and you just nodded your head, didn't you? But, in all seriousness, buy the book, read it, press the reset button, and get to getting. There is a child waiting for you to be the teacher you always wanted to be, or used to be and got too exhausted to keep it up. What you do, and don't do, in the classroom matters so much. This book will help you set you sights on the important things in a very important and difficult career field. Kudos, Mr. LinkedIn. Job well done! Review: Thought-provoking and reassuring, at the same time! - I’m back in the classroom teaching for the first time in 7+ years, and I am determined to prevent the apathy or burnout that I know occurs in the teaching profession. I happened upon this book on my Kindle and started reading out of skeptical curiosity. However, I was soon hooked by the storytelling and easy-to-understand (and implement!) wisdom imparted by the author. The author challenges educators to think about ever-changing education practices and encourages teachers to make small changes, like focusing on the 80/20 rule and using story-telling to get students invested in a lesson. Reading about how “Happy Teachers” tell stories was the perfect mindset switch to help me make my lessons more engaging. Just yesterday, I took a boring lesson about classroom expectations and turned it into a story about two people traveling to a foreign country (one who ignored culture and another who observed and studied it before traveling). My middle school students were attentive and interested… and that’s no small feat for me. The practical and actionable advice in the book “Happy Teacher Habits” is well worth the time it takes to read, and provokes critical thinking about the “why” of decisions educators make each day. I highly recommend this book for educators who are new or returning to the field, and those who feel that happiness is eluding them. 5/5 stars! I’m going to get a physical copy to keep at my desk as a reminder. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #106,578 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #64 in Teacher & Student Mentoring (Books) #149 in Philosophy & Social Aspects of Education #1,204 in Education (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,032 Reviews | ## Images ![The Happy Teacher Habits: 11 Habits of the Happiest, Most Effective Teachers on Earth - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RIdpSgCYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Trade Book I've Read in a Decade *by M***R on April 2, 2018* This book popped up on my Amazon suggestions, and initially I was not going repurchase it because I'm fiercely "old school" and was not interested in an e-book.

I began visiting Michael Linsin's blog Smart Classroom Management in response to the first negative evaluation I've received in 20 years. I receive email tips from him as well. I thought I knew how to teach after doing it for so long and with moderate success and positive feedback. Realizing that there are serious problems after having so much experience is upsetting and embarrassing. I am burnt-out. I keep trying to escape the classroom but I keep ending up back where I started. I tried administration. I tried other roles in education. I'm now taking a class for a certificate outside of education. But while I'm here, I still need to teach. And it would be nice to be effective, happy, and calm. I've turned into a version of myself that I don't like. My negative attitude is also affecting my personal life. So, I'd say the book is a start. It's the first step in the journey. Linsin packs lots of stories and anecdotes into the slim volume and that falls in line with his advice for teaching with storytelling and improvisation. He does a good job with empathizing with the reader and pointing out that education has changed. He discusses its flaws and explains how poor classroom management lets students off the hook. We should not be doing the heavy lifting of education; students must take on this responsibility. It builds grit and growth mindset. He helps with tips about organization and finding balance in life. He mentions Marie Kondo and talks about working less, not more. The chapters remind me a little of clickbait, circumventing the ultimate point with the results of the strategy before stating what it is. Interesting but a little formulaic and slightly annoying.. It's good advice and good motivation. There are thoughtful and memorable points. It's good for novice and veteran alike. But I wanted more, perhaps from seeing specific tips and how to implement them on Linsin's blog and emails. I wanted something that would help me love teaching when I'm so frustrated by it that sometimes I fantasize about walking out in the middle of class and never looking back. I suppose that's probably too much to ask from a book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/32067497-the-happy-teacher-habits-11-habits-of-the-happiest-most](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/32067497-the-happy-teacher-habits-11-habits-of-the-happiest-most) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-30*
