Welcome to George Couros’ Epic Book Review! This episode is reviewing The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin.


"The Happiness Project" by Gretchen Rubin explores her year-long quest to increase her overall happiness and well-being. Rubin identifies various areas of her life that she believes are essential for happiness, including relationships, career, and physical health. Each month, she focuses on a specific theme and sets goals and resolutions to improve that area of her life. Through her personal experiences, Rubin offers practical tips and insights for readers to apply to their own lives. 


George Couros asks the question, are happiness and learning connected in school, and how would interpret that connection? Share your thoughts in the comments below and remember to like and subscribe on YouTube! 


Quotes:
“Studies show that in a phenomenon called emotional contagion, we unconsciously catch emotions from other people, whether good mood, whether in a good mood or bad ones. Taking the time to be silly means that we're infecting one another with good cheer, and people who enjoy silliness are one-third more likely to be happy.” - Gretchen Rubin, The Happiness Project

“The ‘fundamental attribution error’  is a psychological phenomenon in which we tend to view other people's actions as reflections of their characters and to overlook the power of the situation to influence their actions, whereas, with ourselves, we recognize the pressures of circumstance. When other people's cell phones ring during a movie, it's because they're inconsiderate boors; if my cell phone rings during a movie, it's because I need to be able to take a call from the babysitter.  I tried to remember not to judge people harshly, especially on the first or second encounter. Their actions might not reveal their enduring character but instead reflect some situation they find themselves in.”

“Samuel Butler wrote, ‘Happiness and misery consist in a progression towards better or worse; it does not matter how high up or low down you are, it depends not on this, but on the direction in which you are tending.’ “
