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

She’s the author of many New York Times bestselling books, such as The Happiness Project, Better Than Before, and The Four Tendencies, Life in Five Senses, and Secrets of Adulthood, which have sold millions of copies in more than thirty languages. Her next book Secrets of Adulthood comes out April 2025.

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.

Has been my companion for 5 years as of today (31.12.21). I love its simplicity and joy it has given me.

Marking it "Finished" even though I just started it. Won't be finished for five years! Ha ha.
I like this little journal more than I liked the book, which I didn't like at all. I like how compact it is, but it also has very small lines which make writing even a sentence hard for me. I just wish the writing space was a little bigger but it's a nice way to get into the habit of Journaling again.

I love this journal! There’s a quote on every page and a spot for you to write a wonderful memory every day for 5 years. It really instills a feeling of gratitude

Recorded all the things I’m grateful for this year and learned the thing I was MOST thankful for was… tacos 😂.
