I read The Happiness Project last year and didn't really love it, probably because I didn't love Rubin's Ben-Franklin-esque method of tracking her progress in her project. But I still decided to read this one. Yep, I'm at home, and yep, everyone in the family would benefit from increasing our happiness here.
I didn't love this book. There were some really interesting ideas and principles mentioned, and I got a lot of titles of other books to read, mostly about human nature and philosophy. But there sure was a lot of navel gazing.
The best part of the book might be the encouragement to start my own personal happiness project. Maybe I'll take that on this year.
Yes, start your own happiness project and blog about it. I bet you would have some new and interesting perspectives and ideas. And, I bet it'd be pretty entertaining, too.
