One gloomy day, Gretchen Rubin had an epiphany in the most unlikely of places: a city bus. “The days are long, but the years are short,” she realized. "I'm not spending enough time concentrating on the things that truly matter, and time is passing." She made the decision at that very moment to commit a whole year to her happiness project.
In this vibrant and captivating narrative, Rubin narrates her experiences over the twelve months she dedicated to testing out ancient wisdom, cutting-edge scientific findings, and teachings from popular culture on happiness. Among other things, she found that novelty and challenge are powerful sources of happiness; that money can help buy happiness, when spent wisely; that outer order contributes to inner calm; and that the very smallest of changes can make the biggest difference.
