The Happiness Project!

Are you happy? If not, why? If so, what makes you happy? Sadly, I asked some girlfriends these very questions and they couldn't answer me.

It started me thinking about Gretchen Rubin and The Happiness Project she's researching. The author is writing a memoir about - "the year I spent test-driving every principle, tip, theory and scientific study I could find." Her book will hit the shelves in late 2009 (Harper Collins).

Here are her Eight Tips for feeling happier in the NEXT HOUR (see her website June 4th post for the complete tips.):

1. "Boost your energy".
2. "Reach out to friends".
3. "Rid yourself of a nagging task".
4. "Create a calmer environment".
5. "Lay the groundwork for some future fun".
6. "Do a good deed".
7. "Act happy".
8. "Listen to your favorite music".

Check out The Happiness Project website. Email Rubin to be added to her newsletter.
