À propos de cette écoute
#1 New York Times Bestseller
“An enlightening, laugh-aloud read. . . . Filled with open, honest glimpses into [Rubin’s] real life, woven together with constant doses of humor.”—Christian Science Monitor
Gretchen Rubin’s year-long experiment to discover how to create true happiness. Drawing on cutting-edge science, classical philosophy, and real-world examples, Rubin delivers an engaging, eminently relatable chronicle of transformation.
Gretchen Rubin had an epiphany one rainy afternoon in the unlikeliest of places: a city bus. “The days are long, but the years are short,” she realized. “Time is passing, and I’m not focusing enough on the things that really matter.” In that moment, she decided to dedicate a year to her happiness project.
In this lively and compelling account, Rubin chronicles her adventures during the twelve months she spent test-driving the wisdom of the ages, current scientific research, and lessons from popular culture about how to be happier. 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.
As an added bonus, this recording includes a sampling of Gretchen’s podcast, Happier With Gretchen Rubin. In this episode, "Choose the Bigger Life," Gretchen and her sister, Elizabeth Craft, discuss happiness, good habits, and whether Gretchen is going to get a dog.

Interesting but a niche take on happiness
I was a little disappointed in the storyline, I think I wasn’t expecting such a “research” experience and following the authors family life. The author has contributed a lot to the collective and helping others be more introspective and focus on happiness, which is why I’m giving three stars, otherwise it would be less. I did find it a little surprising that there was hardly if not at all mention of gratefulness and living in the moment, which both constitute core principles of happiness. I was a little disappointed that her takeaway was that she started this happiness’s project just to have more control over her life. It fell very flat for me. I think overall maybe this book seemed like an almost surgical approach to something very metaphysical / “spiritual”. I do appreciate the fact that the author is aware of her privileges and underlines the fact that this is her own personal experience. Helpful, but not personally impactful to me.

Boring!
I just get bored.
Good subject full of promess but at the end just an enumeration of facts. Nothing to keep the "reader" on hold.
I haven't finished to listen to this book.
