The Happiness Project part 2

While continuing on my reading journey I have discovered more about Gretchen's happiness journey. Something that seems so simple can be so complicated. Just the simple act of being nicer to someone can make you feel better about yourself, which can lead to being happy. Throughout this book, each chapter has Gretchen tackling another part of her happiness search. The chapter I am reading right now is about her trying to make her marriage more enjoyable. She say's that after the first kid your marriage tends to hit a rough point. Even though Gretchen does not have a bad marriage she is trying to find ways to make it better. Some of the things that make me happy consist of: family, friends, music, self confidence and kind people. My happiness Project would be much different than Gretchen's. The further I get into this book the more interesting it gets. I've learned so much because while doing her research for this project she found a lot of interesting facts that she shares. Here are some of my favorite lines: " I wanted to think about myself so I could forget about myself." To me this line is saying you have to know who you are and  you have to know what makes you happy in order for you not to be involved in paying so much attention to yourself and why you're not happy. " Everything important has been said before." I like this line because it's food for thought.
