Outer Order, Inner Calm

Gretchen Rubin is an American author, blogger and speaker. She is the author of several New York Times bestsellers.

In her best-selling book Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives, Gretchen Rubins describes habits and how they work.  She says that in order to build better habits, we need to understand why some habits are easier to keep than others.  Some habits we find easy to adopt and change and others are harder – adding one habit at a time is more effective than trying to change several at once.  We need to figure out what motivates us to make specific changes - for example, if you feel lethargic each morning, perhaps it's because you're not getting enough sleep, or maybe it's because you need some exercise in your daily routine.

Better Than Before

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.
