About this product

Product Information

"This book made me happy in the first five pages." -AJ Jacobs, author of The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible Award-winning author Gretchen Rubin is back with a bang, with The Happiness Project. The author of the bestselling 40 Ways to Look at Winston Churchill has produced a work that is "a cross between the Dalai Lama's The Art of Happiness and Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love." (Sonya Lyubomirsky, author of The How of Happiness: A Scientific Approach to Getting the Life You Want) In the vein of Julie and Julia, The Happiness Project describes one person's year-long attempt to discover what leads to true contentment. Drawing at once on cutting-edge science, classical philosophy, and real-world applicability, Rubin has written an engaging, eminently relatable chronicle of transformation.

Gretchen Rubin's superpower is curiosity... Weaving together research, unforgettable examples, and her brilliant insight, Better Than Before is a force for real change., Gretchen Rubin is a writer after my own heart--seriously brilliant, very warm, and funny. I think she's amazing., Packed with fascinating facts about the science of happiness and rich examples of how she improves her life through changes small and big The Happiness Project made me happier by just reading it., Gretchen Rubin combines deep research and observations from her own life to explain how habits emerge and--more important--how they can change. It's indispensable for anyone hoping to overhaul how they (almost unthinkingly) behave., For those who generally loathe the self-help genre, Rubin's book is a breath of peppermint-scented air. Well-researched and sharply written. . . . Rubin takes an orderly, methodical approach to forging her own path to a happier state of mind., Rubin had learned that there was a close correlation between habits and happiness, so she figured out how we form them, use them, and change them. Once I came to understand habits as harnessing our own laziness--making a habit frees you from decision-making, which you can use to your advantage--my relationship to them changed permanently., With her characteristic mix of delightful charm, thoughtful research, and insightful advice... Gretchen Rubin shows how to add fun, joy, and harmony to your home life., "Aided by her formidable intelligence and willingness to try anything, she spent a year road-testing every theory about happiness she could get her hands on, using her own life as the road." -- Time "Happiness is contagious. And so is The Happiness Project. Once you've read Gretchen Rubin's tale of a year searching for satisfaction, you'll want to start your own happiness project and get your friends and family to join you. This is the rare book that will make you both smile and think--often on the same page." -- Daniel H. Pink, author of A Whole New Mind "Rubin had learned that there was a close correlation between habits and happiness, so she figured out how we form them, use them, and change them.

The happiness guru takes a sledgehammer to old-fashioned notions about change." -- Parade "Gretchen Rubin combines deep research and observations from her own life to explain how habits emerge and--more important--how they can change. It's indispensable for anyone hoping to overhaul how they (almost unthinkingly) behave." -- Charles Duhigg, The Power of Habit "Gretchen Rubin is a writer after my own heart--seriously brilliant, very warm, and funny.

Gretchen Rubin shows how to add fun, joy, and harmony to your home life." -- Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, An enlightening, laugh-aloud read. . . .

    Disappointing

    Was excited to read,but after reaching 1/3 way thru,realized there was really nothing in content that was motivating to me and I was having to force myself to continue reading it, hoping things would improve.....

  • Helpful

    I don't know how far I'll get with trying to be happier however I can see where it would certainly be helpful to someone younger and more lifestyle flexible. I am in my 70's.

  • This book made me look at my life with an open mind!

    Great book, great idea! It starts out slow so don't give up. The author gives you some ideas to think about. If you are on a journey to find yourself or just interested in life you will enjoy this book.
