About the author

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.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2017Very nice book of 20 inspirational quotes to color, one on each page, single-sided on heavy-weight cardstock.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most of the quotes in the book are from Gretchen Rubin but there are also quotes from Plutarch, William Morris, Robert Louis Stevenson, John Bramhall. and Montaigne. All of them are secular and positive maxims for a happier life. Each page has the hand-lettered quote and ornament - sometimes a border, sometimes a decorative element within the words, sometimes both.
The pages are a very heavy-weight cardstock, heavier than the postcard coloring books I have run across, so you will be able to use almost any coloring medium with them. If you are going to use something very wet, such as watercolors, you will probably want to remove the page first and staple or tape it down to a drawing board so it will not buckle; most of the quotes have a small empty border edge so you could tape or staple them this way without getting into the coloring area, but not all of them. The pages are not bound, but hung in the book by a rubber edge, much like a memo pad, so they will be easy to remove.
Once you finish a favorite quote, they are heavy enough you could lean them up on your desk or bookcase, no problem. The page size is 7" x 9" which is not a standard frame size, but if you are willing to go to the effort of matting them or mounting them on a backing board, they would work well in a 8" x 10" frame.
Most of the images are not very complex, so almost anyone can color these. Although not complicated, the designs are well-proportioned and elegant. Some of the designs would work well with a colored background if you wanted to go that direction. Not all of the letters are fully outlined in all of the quotes so be careful with a dark or black blackground - the letters may 'break up' too much.
If you want to have them more complex, you could try amplifying the outlines some, especially with special effects such as metallic markers.
Gretchen Rubin suggests in the book approaching the coloring as meditation, to focus and rest. Also she suggests trying coloring while listening to her podcasts. She'll watch for your completed works if you post them on instagram, Facebook, or Twitter with the hashtags:

- Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2017Gretchen Rubin is one of my favorite people (especially her podcast, Happier) and I just love all the quotes in this coloring book - perfect for coloring and later framing. The other things I love about this book: - It was well planned out - the pages lay flat, they are thick cardboard and are perforated
-the tiny things to color aren't minuscule like a lot of adult coloring books
-These pages can be done fairly quickly and are relaxing enough to work on, but not worry about going outside the lines because my marker/pen is too fat for the spot I'm coloring. This is by far the best coloring book I've found on the market!!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2021very cute and perfect quotes - easy to remove, THICK paper, and will look cute in frames.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2017I like the thick paper and simple designs. I'm not usually a fan of adult coloring books, but I like the simplicity of these designs. I like most of the quotes, but there are some that I'm not sure what I'll do with them...but maybe they will speak to someone else!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2018It felt indulgent to buy a coloring book for myself, but I love this! The quotes are interesting and thoughtful, and it’s a form of meditation to work on them.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2017We have been into coloring and our house. It is relaxing. This has been framable And has a really nice message just say on the wall. I really enjoyed Gretchen Rubin's books.

Carol StokesReviewed in Canada on July 12, 20205.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I had hoped for
The product arrived in good time from the seller. The quality of the paper is perfect for felt pens and I am enjoying colouring these posters as I reflect upon the quote.
MelissaReviewed in Canada on June 21, 20205.0 out of 5 stars Great colouring book
This is a great colouring book! I wish I could find more like it. I had a lot of fun and coloured every quote. Sharpies look great and really pop!

PyronikReviewed in the United Kingdom on June 16, 20184.0 out of 5 stars the card is good, sharpies don't go through
the card is good, sharpies don't go through. The designs are quite simple & not all the quotes suit me. I love colouring in the words.
