The Happiness Project

By Gretchen Rubin.

For one year, Rubin tried every trick, process, mental attitude and exercise that promised happiness. She was very methodical.

Some conclusions-- you become more happy by helping others being more happy, and by acting more happy yourself.

Some things I want to remember...

Spend your time out. Lost time is a lost resource. why not spend it all doing something of your own choosing? Why not spend it trying to make others happy? You may worry, that they will take advantage of you, and your generosity. That worry is not founded, especially if you surround yourself by people you love and trust

Rubin didn't meditate, but she did see the value in not being judgmental
