Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project, says that it’s becoming increasingly difficult for people to find time “to step back and ask a large question like, ‘What do I want from life, anyway?’” Rubin says that for a long time, she was caught up in this same cycle herself. “I was so focused on my daily to-do list that I didn’t spend any time thinking about whether I was actually happy or how I could be happier.”
