We hope you will join us this month at the home of Christine Llewellyn as we discuss our May/June selection: The Happiness Project: Or, Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closet, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun by Gretchen Rubin. Please RSVP on the Newcomers website by Monday, May 13th. Kindly bring either something savory or sweet - but casual and small in quantity - or a drink to share. We hope you are able to join us.
About this month's selection:
Gretchen Rubin had an epiphany one rainy afternoon in the unlikeliest of places: a city bus. "The days are long, but the years are short," she realized. "Time is passing, and I'm not focusing enough on the things that really matter." In that moment, she decided to dedicate a year to her happiness project.
In this lively and compelling account, Rubin chronicles her adventures during the twelve months she spent test-driving the wisdom of the ages, current scientific research, and lessons from popular culture about how to be happier. Among other things, she found that novelty and challenge are powerful sources of happiness; that money can help buy happiness, when spent wisely; that outer order contributes to inner calm; and that the very smallest of changes can make the biggest difference.
Copies of The Happiness Project: Or, Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closet, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun will be be on reserve at the Ridgefield Library April 5th through May 17th. Please inquire at the Main Circulation Desk for a copy to borrow.
