I just read Gretchen Rubin's inspiring book, The Happiness Project. Here's her one-sentence summary:
"The Happiness Project is my memoir of one year in which I test-drive every principle, tip, theory, and research-study result I can find, from Aristotle to St. Therese to Benjamin Franklin to Martin Seligman to Oprah [about happiness]. What advice actually works?"
OK, it's two sentences. This woman really appeals to my drive for succinctness. Is succinctity a word? No, it appears not, since my computer underlined it in red. What did we do before computers? (Spent time outdoors in the fresh air, no doubt. Meh.)
Here is how she described her blog:
"THE HAPPINESS PROJECT is the memoir of the year I spent test-driving the wisdom of the ages, current scientific studies, and lessons from popular culture about how to be happier. As one of the hundreds of experiments I've conducted, I started this blog. Here, I recount my daily adventures in pursuit of happiness."
Anyway, The Happiness Project has gotten the wheels turning in my head. And...that's all for now.
