Mehr zum Buch

In the spirit of her blockbuster #1 New York Times bestseller, Gretchen Rubin embarks on a new project to enhance the happiness of her home. One Sunday afternoon, while unloading the dishwasher, she experiences a wave of homesickness, realizing it stems from a deep love for home itself. This prompts her to focus her next happiness project on creating a home that calms and energizes her, providing safety that encourages risk-taking. She aims to increase her happiness at home while also appreciating the joy that already exists there. Starting in September, she dedicates the school year to fostering greater simplicity, comfort, and love within her space. Building on her previous work, Rubin delves deeper into elements that influence home life, such as possessions, marriage, time, and parenthood. She explores how to manage technology, highlight cherished items, and even replace that old toaster. Each month, she tackles a different theme, experimenting with practical resolutions and involving her family in the process. With her signature blend of memoir, science, philosophy, and experimentation, Rubin’s enthusiasm shines through, inspiring readers to seek greater happiness in their own lives.
