Taking as a basis the first part of L. Tolstoy’s epigraph to the novel “Anna Karenina”: “All happy families are alike...”, the author asked the question: what exactly do happy families do right and how can others learn this? He broke down family life, highlighting what we all do - love, fight, eat, play, fool around, spend money, make vital decisions - and tried to find ways to optimize these aspects. The author chose the brightest examples, sought out the smartest people and the most organic families he could find, to collect the best experience available today and create a unique guide for happy families. Maybe not all of the author’s more than 200 tips will suit each of us, but many will make us look differently at our own family and try to make it happier.
