Book Review of The Happiness Project: Or, Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun

Helpful Score: 2


Poor little Gretchen Rubin, can't find happiness with all she has going for her...aww. And her poor husband! If I were a man and my wife talked to me the way she barked and berated him, I'd have my bags packed and a lawyer on retainer. I was so disappointed in this book! Granted, I did glean a few new book titles to read, and I admit there were a FEW decent ideas, but I truly had to put this book down and walk away at least five times before I could finish it. I found Gretchen to be mean spirited, selfish, and boring. Those daughters will need all the Rubin's money for therapy some day!
