I enjoyed The Happiness
Project by Gretchen Rubin and decided that I would remind you about it.
Rather than trying to be happy by changing geographies like the Eat Pray Love
approach, Gretchen just tried to change one thing a month for a year to be more
happy while staying right at home.
It is a light hearted but
useful book. It is practical and never preachy. Do give it a go if you
are feeling that you should be happier than you are. This is not a book
to help medically depressed people or people who are grief stricken – it is for
ordinary people who just need a tad more joy in their lives.
I do like her one minute rule (but don't do it very well). The rule is that if you can do something in a minute or less, do it right away and don't postpone it.
This sounds like a book with good ideas in it, i like the one minute rule.
ReplyDeleteI bought my friend this book. I wonder if she read it yet
ReplyDeleteSounds quite interesting. I don't know whether I would have bought or lent this book given the bright colour that usually tells you "chick lit" but I think I might try it now. Thanks,
