Tolstoy wrote, "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." This is the statement that inspired bestselling author Gretchen Rubin to wonder whether she could foster an even greater happiness in her home. During The Happiness Project, the same questions kept tugging at her. How can I raise happy children? How can I maintain a tender, romantic relationship with my spouse--after fifteen years of marriage? How do I keep my Blackberry from taking over my private life? How can I foster a well-ordered, light-hearted atmosphere in my house, when no one else will lift a finger to cooperate? This book is Gretchen's account of her second journey in pursuit of happiness. Prescriptive, easy-to-follow, and anecdotal, Happier at Home offers readers a way of thinking and being that is positive and life-affirming. With specific examples following the calendar year, an intimate voice, and drawing from science and pop culture, this book will resonate with anyone looking to strengthen the bonds of family.

Seeing my father in his hospital bed, I realized how much joy my father had missed out on. When I was growing up, he was always so busy working. I don't think he took the time to appreciate the simple things until way later in life. Even in his last few months, his frustration with traffic, people, and the hospital dictated his happiness levels.I knew that I needed to appreciate life more. It was possible, but I lacked an important skill-one I hadn't learned in the first forty years of my life. That skill was being grateful every chance I had.I started by focusing on the big things in my life, then kept going deeper to enjoy the little things. Along the way, my productivity and happiness grew. My gratitude practice healed me in the midst of one of the toughest years I've ever experienced.
