The Happiness Project

In *The Happiness Project [Tenth Anniversary Edition]*, Gretchen Rubin invites you into a warmly funny, deeply practical year-long experiment in building a happier life—without pretending joy is a one-size-fits-all formula.

After a small realisation on a rainy bus ride, Rubin sets herself monthly themes and starts “test-driving” ideas from behavioural science, classic philosophy and everyday life. The result is part memoir, part self-help, and part productivity nudge: small habits, tidier spaces, better relationships and smarter spending choices, all explored with honesty about what works, what doesn’t, and why.

This is ideal for readers who enjoy personal development books, habit change, and mindful living, or anyone who likes reflective nonfiction with a relatable narrator and plenty to take away.

This tenth anniversary edition adds bonus material including an author conversation and tools to start your own happiness project—pick up a copy and see what a year could change.
