The Happiness Project - Gretchen Rubin
















My first book the new year is called "The Happiness Project".

It caught my eye while walking through the airport and I seriously have not put it down since I paid for it.


I did not buy it, because I'm un-happy, but rather I enjoy reading books about other peoples journeys. I like to imagine myself in their situations and think about how  I would react.


Fortunately, this book has inspired me to start working on my own "Happiness Project". I plan to start it in Feb.


One of the greatest points I have taken away from it so far was a section on how the women was upset that her husband did not want to help with Christmas cards and she couldn't understand why. She then realized that it's not her husbands deal, he really doesn't care about the cards, but she does. Therefore once she understood that the desire was her own, she didn't mind doing them alone after all.


This is a great read, very easy, entertaining and from my point of view insightful.


I highly recommend this book, curious if anyone else has read it.
