2013-12-17 00:35:56| Powells Books Events Calendar
In the spirit of her blockbuster bestseller The Happiness Project, Gretchen Rubin embarks on a new project to make home a happier place. One Sunday afternoon, as she unloaded the dishwasher, Rubin felt hit by a wave of homesickness. Homesick — why? She was standing right in her own kitchen. She felt homesick, she realized, with love for home itself. In a flash, she decided to undertake a new happiness project, and this time, to focus on home. So, starting in September, Rubin dedicated a school year to making her home a place of greater simplicity, comfort, and love. In The Happiness Project, she worked out general theories of happiness. In Happier at Home (Three Rivers Press), she goes deeper on factors that matter for home, such as possessions, marriage, time, and parenthood. With her signature blend of memoir, science, philosophy, and experimentation, Rubin's passion for her subject jumps off the page, inspiring readers to find more happiness in their own lives.
