Happy Move

A Happy Move is an interactive how-to book meant to ease the anxiety and stress of relocating. It gives people who are moving practical advice on how to organize, control, and even enjoy the experience.

Moving is a major life change, whether it is across town or across the country, and it tends to stir up mixed emotions. There is a great deal to handle, from packing up all your possessions to renting and driving a moving truck to reconnecting your services, and the whole process can feel daunting. The book is presented as an owner's guide to a smooth, practical, and stress-free move, with first-hand experiences and tips along the way. It offers plenty of recommendations and resources, including inside knowledge from U-Haul and 1-800-PACK-RAT.

The spiral-bound format includes several checklists for what needs doing before, during, and after a move, to make the process easier, more cost-effective, and more fulfilling.

It is written for anyone considering a change of location, whether for work, school, military service, closeness to family and friends, or simply a change of scenery. Renters and homeowners alike can follow its step-by-step process, no matter the distance or destination.
