Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Gretchen Rubin is one of today’s most influential and thought-provoking observers of happiness and human nature. 

Her previous books include the #1 New York Times bestseller THE HAPPINESS PROJECT, as well as the bestselling books BETTER THAN BEFORE, HAPPIER AT HOME, THE FOUR TENDENCIES, and OUTER ORDER, INNER CALM. Her latest book is LIFE IN FIVE SENSES.

She’s the host of the popular, award-winning podcast "Happier with Gretchen Rubin," where she and her co-host (and sister) Elizabeth Craft explore strategies and insights about how to make life happier. As the founder of The Happiness Project, she has helped create imaginative products for people to use in their own happiness projects.

She has been interviewed by Oprah, eaten dinner with Nobel Prize-winner Daniel Kahneman, walked arm-in-arm with the Dalai Lama, had her work reported on in a medical journal, been written up in the New Yorker, and been an answer on Jeopardy!

Gretchen Rubin started her career in law, and she realized she wanted to be a writer while she was clerking for Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. Raised in Kansas City, she lives in New York City with her family.

Amazing, As Usual!
What a gift! I am so glad Gretchen Rubin decided to become a writer instead of a practicing attorney. I have loved reading her blog for almost a decade now. Her work is incredibly well researched, and she approaches everything with intelligent inquiry. Of course, you can read this collection of posts on her blog (for free) - but I enjoy having the "best of" all in one place. So many wonderful posts here!!! I look forward to everything that Gretchen Rubin writes - and this is no exception. Every book of Gretchen's is so helpful. She has definitely helped me live a happier, more fulfilled life. Thank you, GR!!!!!! :-) You are such a gift to all you touch with your work! :-)

    Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2016

    I'm a huge fan of Gretchen Rubin's books so jumped at the opportunity to read a collection of her best blog posts in one place. I wasn't expecting anything earth-shattering here since I devour every book Rubin writes, but since I don't always get the chance to keep up with her blog, there were definitely a few great reminders here.
    As always, Gretchen Rubin's writing is honest, down-to-earth, and just all around fun.

    If you've never picked up her books (I particularly recommend The Happiness Project and Better Than Before), this is a great little introduction to her work. If you've read all of them (like me), this is a great recap of some of her biggest overarching themes, that you can read in an hour or two. For the price, it's definitely a great find!

    As a huge fan of Gretchen Rubin's work, when she announced this ebook I purchased it right away. The Best of the Happiness Project Blog is a fun, informative, and inspiring collection of Gretchen's 38 best blog posts. It is nice to have the posts all together instead of reading through her whole blog. I think this book has something for the avid, daily reader of Gretchen's blog as well as the novice.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
    Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2020
    I'm disappointed with this one. There were some typos and Gretchen had concepts that she repeats in multiple blog posts, which are repeated in the book... As in, the exact same sentence is written in back to back entries in the book. I was hoping for great new content. Disappointing.

    I always feel uplifted, whether I'm reading, listening, or watching Gretchen Rubin. I particularly enjoy the podcast, Happier, that she does with her sis, Elizabeth. They're both a force for good in this world, and I look forward to whatever is to come next. I bought this book and preordered her 2017 page-a-day calendar.

    Wonderful collection of all the best from Gretchen Rubin. I've been slowly catching up with Gretchen's writings via her blog and particularly love her writings on moderation versus abstinence (I'm an abstainer!!) This collection is a perfect way to get all the high points in a quick read. As always, love her voice, her dry wit and self-deprecating 'realness.' Great Read!

    Gretchen has done it again. She's managed to choose important pieces from her blog to work cohesively to tell the story of our habits and how they influence our lives. Her passion for and pursuit of the subject of happiness is contagious. Gretchen has spent an incredible amount of time pondering human nature and behaviour or thought patterns. I've never read a book of Gretchen's that hasn't left me feeling enriched by the experience and this book was no exception. Keep on doing your great work in this world! Your gift is truly needed by all.

    1.0 out of 5 stars waste of time and money
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 7, 2024

    This is literally just blog post from her website copied and pasted into a book, most of which have been referenced in some way in the happiness project. I gave up after 5 minutes having seen it all before. What a waste of time and money - I really don’t have enough free time be be wasting it on regurgitated material.
