Where do I start with Gretchen Rubin and her "Happiness Project"... I liked and disliked the book/author at the same time. I believe everyone should be striving to better their life and try to accomplish things to make them happy. Gretchen Rubin's book is essentially her own account of trying to acc...
It's been a long time since I last was this sad to finish a book - even longer since it happened to me with a non-fiction book! I ended up limiting myself to just one or two chapters a day, or I'd have breezed right through it. As it is, I'm now seriously considering turning back to page 1 and start...
I have mixed feelings on this book. There were parts that I found very inspiring and relevant to my life. I think the first chapter, on energy, was one of my favorites by far. (My de-cluttering is going well.) Then again, there were other parts I found downright off-putting. (Her chapter on marriage...
I decided to quit while I was ahead with this book. About nine percent into this book. I really wanted to like this book, I've heard good things about it, Sierrabb can't stop raving about it and I really enjoy the author's blog and website. So why not the book as well? It started out good enough, I ...
I feel like I'm five staring so much this year, but... this book is really fantastic. Some of it didn't apply to me, but I didn't expect it to (Gretchen and I live such vastly different lives, on different coasts of the US). She's charming, and I think my favorite part of the entire book was her exp...
Because who doesn't want to be happy? I rue that my daughter is growing up so quickly. Truly, the days are long, but the years are short. And if you nodded in agreement - even just once - while watching the video, then you must agree that there is a nugget of truth, so simple, so elemental, that act...
This book is about Gretchen taking a year out of her life to find ways to become happier. She admits that she wasn't unhappy to begin with ... but she knew that there were things she could do to feel happier. Reading this book provides a means to reflect on your own happines, and some may even fin...
This book was hard to read because I didn't know how to take it. It's not like I didn't like it, or had a hard time reading it but it just didn't ring true for me. There was a lot of stuff she talked about that I was able to get other things out of and it definitely made me think about my life, and ...
Wow, when did I become so cynical and not even realize it? Just like Julia from Julie and Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen I too am in danger of becoming nothing but a secretary on a road to nowhere, drifting toward frosted hair and menthol addiction. However, this book helped ...
I never realized trying to be happy could be so difficult. Gretchen Rubin makes it sound exhausting at times, inspiring at others. I learned a few things reading this, which I know will benefit my life. I now know that it is in my best interest to take 10,000 steps a day. I know that if I think ...
