Gretchen Rubin gives happiness another go in Happier at Home, a follow-up to her New York Times best-selling The Happiness Project. I love Rubin’s reasoning that anyone can enrich his or her home life by making a few small changes. Written in an engaging and cheerful style, Rubin includes plenty of research and philosophical ideology to support her ideas. My favorites of Rubin’s suggestions include going on a weekly adventure, giving warm greetings and farewells, and having special holiday breakfasts. Though a few ideas were carried over from The Happiness Project, the majority of the content was new. With the new year rapidly approaching, now is the perfect time to read Happier at Home and resolve to make home better!
