Let's Brunch Over The Happiness Project

We are happy to announce the book for our regular January book club: The Happiness Project by Gretchenen Rubin.

Nasty Women had great success with the previous venue change, so sticking with the more intimate venue for our discussion. We are excited to meet everyone at our fellow bookclubber’s home in Wicker Park (close to the Division Blue Line and 50 Damen bus).

If you want to, feel free to bring your book, and snacks/drinks to share with the group.

Looking forward to meeting everyone, hearing your thoughts on the book and motto for January.

Here’s a summary:

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.

PS - thanks for contributing the $2! It helps us cover the cost Meetup charges to run this group. Feel free to bring cash or send via Venmo.
