The Happiness Project

Book • 2009
In 'The Happiness Project', Gretchen Rubin chronicles her year-long journey to enhance her happiness.

Despite having a fulfilling life, Rubin realized she wasn’t focusing enough on her own happiness.

She divided her project into twelve months, each with a different area of focus and specific goals.

From boosting energy and improving her marriage to enhancing her work life and leisure activities, Rubin tested various strategies, including those from Epicurus, Thoreau, and modern scientists.

The book combines historical wisdom, scientific research, and personal anecdotes to provide practical advice on how to make life happier and more fulfilling.
