Better Than Before

Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives by Gretchen Rubin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I started this book years ago, and I'm glad to have finally finished it. Gretchen Rubin's The Happiness Project was literally life changing for me during grad school. I was unhappy and totally confused about how I'd ended up pursuing a degree that didn't match my passions. Her book and the experience of living in LA for a few months (along with a few other things of course) helped jump start life as I know it now. All this to say that Rubin speaks very clearly to my way of thinking and in a very straightforward manner repeatedly helps push me towards creating the life I want to have. This is not my favorite of hers, but it was still full of great reminders and suggestions.

Better Than Before fits in alongside Atomic Habits by James Clear (exceptional book), Off the Clock by Laura Vanderkam (a book I reread periodically), and Greg McKeown's Essentialism.

Happy reading and happy living a bit better than before--
