Accolades and Praise for GRETCHEN RUBIN
#1 New York Times bestselling author
Member of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100
“Aided by her formidable intelligence and willingness to try
anything, she spent a year road-testing every theory about
happiness she could get her hands on, using her own life as the
road.” —TIME
“Once you’ve read Gretchen Rubin’s tale of a year spent searching
for satisfaction, you’ll want to start your own happiness project
and get your friends and family to join you. This is the rare book
that will make you both smile and think—often on the same
page.”
—Daniel H. Pink, Drive
“Rubin had learned that there was a close correlation between
habits and happiness, so she figured out how we form them, use
them, and change them. Once I came to understand habits as
harnessing our own laziness—making a habit frees you from
decision-making, which you can use to your advantage—my
relationship to them changed permanently.” —The New Yorker
“Lays out life’s essential goals… serves as a kind of detailed
instruction manual on how to achieve them.”
—New York Times Book Review
“If anyone can help us stop procrastinating, start exercising or
get organized, it’s Gretchen Rubin. The happiness guru takes a
sledgehammer to old-fashioned notions about
change.” —Parade
“Gretchen Rubin combines deep research and observations from her
own life to explain how habits emerge and—more important—how they
can change. It’s indispensable for anyone hoping to overhaul how
they (almost unthinkingly) behave.”
—Charles Duhigg, The Power of Habit

very warm, and funny. I think she’s amazing.” —Anne Lamott, Bird by
Bird and Help, Thanks, Wow

insight, Better Than Before is a force for real change.”
—Brené Brown, Dare to Lead and Daring Greatly
“With her characteristic mix of delightful charm, thoughtful
research, and insightful advice… Gretchen Rubin shows how to add
fun, joy, and harmony to your home life.”
—Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t
Stop Talking
