The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin tracks a year of Rubin's life where she sets out very systematically to become happier. I really wanted to like this book, but I couldn't relate to most of Rubin's thoughts on how to pursue happiness. It was not until the end of the book that she even considered changing her own attitude, and then only begrudgingly.
She has methods and systems in place to help others set up their own Happiness Project and a blog you can follow as well. She has a pretty happy life to begin with, which she admits, so this isn't a book aimed at truly unhappy people. I liked the idea, but nothing here really resonated with me. Others, however, might find some insight here.
