  <abstract>"Keep Happy" by Eustace Miles is a motivational self-help book written in the early 20th century. In this book, the author explores the concept of happiness as a deliberate practice, arguing that maintaining a happy disposition is essential for both mental and physical well-being. The book combines philosophical insights with practical advice on lifestyle choices that promote happiness.  The central argument of "Keep Happy" is that happiness is not merely a natural occurrence but a state of mind that can be cultivated through conscious effort. Miles discusses the detrimental effects of negative emotions like fear and worry on one’s health, suggesting that they create a cycle of unhappiness that can affect both the mind and body. Throughout the book, he provides various techniques to foster happiness, such as positive self-suggestion, the importance of a healthy diet, exercise, and the power of expression. The book asserts that by choosing to keep happy, individuals can improve their health, enhance their social interactions, and ultimately lead a more fulfilling life. Miles emphasizes the moral and ethical dimensions of happiness, encouraging readers to recognize it as a duty to themselves and others. (This is an automatically generated summary.)</abstract>
