Well then...I wanted more from this book. I don't know, maybe I thought it was more self-help than memoir. I still enjoyed it though, just differently than I thought I would.I read through Gretchin's personal journey to happiness. She researched and put things to use that she learned, all in the nam...
I find Gretchen Rubin easier to take in small doses: a blog post, a podcast. I've been underwhelmed by all her books so far though. I don't really get anything from them or relate to her life. My advice: treat it like pick and mix. Take what you like and leave the rest in the store. I quit this bo...
This book was everywhere a few years ago. This wasn't a scribd book - I actually own it. I bought it a while back when my wonderful husband was having a bit of a life crisis and I thought that maybe it would provide me with some insight so I could help him through. His life crisis has passed, and I ...
A special thank you to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.I liked this book much better than her other two books. My problem with Gretchen Rubin is that she constantly reminds us that she has a blog, and mentions her husband and children way too much. There are so many good nugget...
BLUF: Great book, I highly recommend this to those who want to learn about habits and/or their own (and spouse’s) habit tendencies. 4.5 stars.This book covers everything you want to know about habits, including the importance of monitoring, the problems with rewards, and (of course) how to make habi...
I'm most of the way through this book and will probably finish it. I've enjoyed parts but there's a lot of fluff in between the enjoyable bits. Also Rubin has used the word q***r twice already. This book was written in 2009. Use a different word (strange works nicely). There's so much overlap be...
Did not finish this one, and I feel kinda bad about that. I really gave it the best chance I could. I was excited when I started reading it, but I had serious trouble relating to or liking the author. So I let it expire on my library download without really pushing myself to make it to the end. Mayb...
The non-fiction stunt genre. Before I read this book, I’d never heard this term, which refers to the wave of new authors who undertake an activity for a period of time and then chronicle the process. The name lends a somewhat unsavory whiff to this literature...indeed many would die rather than call...
Good news! If you are married, have some free time, and some money in the bank, but don’t feel satisfied with life, this is a great book to get you on track to becoming more happy. If you aren’t married, work two or more jobs, or have debt collectors calling you regularly, then this may not be the b...
The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin3.5 Stars, rounded to 4After a pretty rough year in 2013, I decided that 2014 was going to be different. I wasn't going to let my emotions and situations outside of my control get the best of me anymore. I declared that I would be happy in 2014. So I thought, w...
