I was intrigued by this woman's pedigree (editor in chief of Yale Law Journal, clerk for a Supreme Court Justice) and her connections (daughter in law to the Treasury Secretary Rubin), but more so by the Happiness Project she had written a book about.
I have not yet picked up a book, but this strikes me as a great first year of marriage project for us, so I wanted to remind myself of it by dedicating an entry to exploring the premise of this book and its author. This book, "The Happiness Project", is a year-long account of the author testing out all of the available happiness promoting, self-help theories that are out there in the market. Each month, she chose a theme such as "energy" and "love" and tried her hand at getting happier.
The 100 Day Project has been enormously helpful in getting Chris and I to talk about the issues we will face as a couple, whether that be household chores, taxes, or merger (while maintaining the integrities) of our disparate identities and values.
Similarly, as long as I am correct in my assumption that my thoughts on happiness largely overlap with those of Chris' (as in, we both want to give ourselves as many chances as we can to be happy together), this will be a useful exercise.
