The Happiness Project: Or Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun by Gretchen Rubin
4.0
SYNOPSIS:
One day while Gretchen Rubin was on a bus in New York City she had an epiphany. "Am I really happy? I'm in danger of wasting my life!" She thought. So she does something amazing and daring, she devotes a year of her life to her "happiness project" to make her the happiest she can be. So she reads countless books of the history and art of happiness written by anyone from philosophers to famous men in history. Each month she chooses a task she believes should be improved in her life and commits to making it better. Will her happiness project make her happier or will she have committed a year of her life for no change?
REVIEW:
Gretchen Rubin definitely did her research when writing this book! It was deeply insightful and moving. She quoted everyone from famous philosophers to Saint's! Even though it told of her story and her happiness project you feel yourself growing happier as you get more and more deeper into the book because her happiness is contagious! It's an amazing inspiration to anyone who thinks they need a little boost of happiness in there life (OR A BIG boost). The way she puts so much enthusiasm in her writing is making me so excited to begin my happiness project that I will begin next year. She makes a huge change in life look so easy, by the time you've flipped the last page your gonna be eager to start your very own happiness project right away!
RECOMMENDED TO:
Anyone who needs a boost of happiness anywhere from small to big!
