书籍简介：

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 of that year, Rubin carves out her place alongside the authors of bestselling memoirs such as Julie and Julia , The Year of Living Biblically , and Eat, Pray, Love . With humor and insight, she 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. Rubin didn't have the option to uproot herself, nor did she really want to; instead she focused on improving her life as it was. Each month she tackled a new set of resolutions: give proofs of love, ask for help, find more fun, keep a gratitude notebook, forget about results. She immersed herself in principles set forth by all manner of experts, from Epicurus to Thoreau to Oprah to Martin Seligman to the Dalai Lama to see what worked for her—and what didn't. Her conclusions are sometimes surprising—she finds that money can buy happiness, when spent wisely; that novelty and challenge are powerful sources of happiness; that "treating" yourself can make you feel worse; that venting bad feelings doesn't relieve them; that the very smallest of changes can make the biggest difference—and they range from the practical to the profound. Written with charm and wit, The Happiness Project is illuminating yet entertaining, thought-provoking yet compulsively readable. Gretchen Rubin's passion for her subject jumps off the page, and reading just a few chapters of this book will inspire you to start your own happiness project.

书友短评：

@ 小晨 好－无－聊。这种书浪费时间浪费感情，真的有意义吗。。 @ 鹿鹿小姐姐 讲的是纽约上东区一名女性花费1年时间找回快乐的心路历程，用词浅显，某些小tips不错，但总体上并无太多新意。 @ Way 13年的圣诞节礼物，断断续续读了小半年。关于寻找幸福/快乐的书籍总是相似的，陈述的道理也都大同小异。你做不做得到才是关键。这本书不太一样的地方是原理讲的比较少，而是用自己亲身做的事情来例证。好处在于例子生动活泼，缺陷在于普世性欠缺，太个人针对了，并且在框架、层次和结构性上不足，读起来容易失去耐心。 @ cucu 中途数次想弃，尤其是作者引经据典或者深度剖析的时候。感觉她的幸福计划实在有点强迫症倾向。有些tips还是可以试试的，也得到一些灵感启发，至于作者究竟幸福了吗究竟有何感觉对我而言真的无所谓呀。 @ 葡萄 鸡肋 @ 眼药水随身带 读不下去。感觉她让自己开心起来的各种实验都很…无聊 @ 知未 这本书信息密度很低，但是这个话题就还挺适合聊天的，作者的叙述也很personal，所以特别适合随便听听。 @ 惠 幸福就像青鸟 @ JW "I want to take myself less seriously and also more seriouly"
