Autobiographical New York Times bestseller, “The Happiness Project” by Gretchen Rubin, examines the pursuit of happiness. Inspired by the realization, “The days are long, but the years are short,” and that “Time is passing, and I’m not focusing enough on the things that really matter” were the roots of her book.
Rubin wasn’t unhappy, but she wanted to improve her life. “The Happiness Project” is a rare book that explores a topic widely undervalued today.

Rubin encourages readers to follow in her footsteps and says that it is never too late. She gives tips and a guide at the back of the book. Rubin further encourages people through her blog where they share experiences and challenges with their own happiness projects. Each month, Rubin dedicates a specific subject such as family, relationships and habits as they relate to happiness.Thousands of blogs across America have followed Rubin’s example.
Rubin is able to define happiness via her experiences that anyone can understand. This inspirational book is recommended for anyone who is looking for a different perspective and improvement in life.
