The Happiness Project

One of my pals, Ash kept speaking on her

facebook wall about a book called

THE HAPPINESS PROJECT

-gretchen rubin

There are those books that I read for entertainment

then there are those books that I read

because they put life back into my thinking.

One other books that have done this for me?

THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE

I decided after reading a little about the book

that it was something I needed to look into.

Oh my, it will be a book I quote from

for some time. Rubin writes the book

not because she is depressed, not because

she is unhappy but merely because she believes

there are things we can all do that makes our lives

even more fulfilling, finding the joy in little things.

Her writing appeals to me as it is so easy to absorb.

She quotes from another writer,

Colette, words that were haunting her before she started

the HAPPINESS PROJECT

"What a wonderful life I've had! I only wish I'd

realized it sooner"

She then writes,

"I didn't want to look back, at the end of my life

or after some great catastrophe, and think,

"how happy I used to be then, if only I'd realized it"

This book has been profound for me.

I will be sharing more of it here on my blog

because I feel we all need to be reminded of just

how lucky we are and who doesn't want to get as much

happiness from our lives as is possible.

If you looking for a good self-help book,

this is the one to purchase.
