Finally finished the book. Found a copy of it at a yard sale and snagged it so I could read it on my own time frame and not have to worry about library due dates. I stand by my earlier review comments. Would have enjoyed reading Rubin's blog over the course of the year as she did the project. Reading the whole project in book form was just not as engaging as if I'd been able to read the experience in bits and pieces.

I want to do my own happiness project!

MY favorite part was all the tips on making your life happier in a relationship. And yet I found her next book happier at home a bit precious and not as inspiring.
Overall I thought it was a pretty good book with some interesting things to think about.
3.5 stars. I enjoyed reading how this author attempted to make her life happier. It was a mix of research on happiness and the author's personal experiences. It's good to reflect on gratitude and enjoying life. (Around the year in 52 Books: A non-fiction); Friend B.C-Amanda

Don't put it off it can be done in 1 minute or less. Don't set anything big on top of anything small. Simple yet useful!

Meh. I get the reasoning behind the project, but I could only read so much. Only finished half the book.
Some things stick with me, and others don't...but in general? An enlightening read.
