How many times have you found yourself wondering why you are not as happy as you could be? There are plenty of times that I am sit at my desk and I start to wonder things like, “am I on the right career path?,” “what would make me truly happy?,” or “what does being happy really mean?”.

Gretchen Rubin asked herself the same question one day and decided to do something about it. In the process of doing so, she documented her steps on the path of becoming “happy”. The resulting product was the New Your Times bestseller, The Happiness Project.

Gretchen received her undergraduate and law degrees from Yale University and was editor-in-chief of the Yale Law Journal. She was also a clerk on the U.S. Supreme Court for Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and served as a chief adviser to Federal Communications Commission Chairman Reed Hundt.
