The Happiness Project: Or, Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Funby Gretchen Rubin. "Much talked about story of the author's year-long project to determine what makes people "happy." (Really can a content person become even happier by doing certain things, and how do these things change the way those around you act?). The book is interesting enough, but the reading list in the back is terrific and spurred several other great reads for me this year." "I think many of us feel like the author. Our lives our great, but it would be nice if we could sometimes have a little more control and appreciate what we have we might be even happier." "This one got me through a day or two of snowmaggedon in a decent mood. Her blog is very engaging."
