Since her book was first published, hundreds of reading groups have read and followed The Happiness Project -- which is why I'm so pleased to invite you to join Gretchen Rubin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of 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 Fun, as she is interviewed by Good Housekeeping's Editor in Chief Rosemary Ellis via livestream on Tuesday, July 19th at 3 pm ET. In addition to answering Rosemary's questions, Gretchen will also be taking questions from people who are watching and you'll be able to order a signed copy of the book during the event.
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.
Check out the reading group guide to The Happiness Project and learn more about Gretchen Rubin at her website. You can also follow her on Twitter and friend on Facebook.
The livestream event takes place on Tuesday, July 19th at 3pm ET, here. We hope you can join us!
