About this item
Description
Book Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - In this lovely, easy-to-use illustrated guide to decluttering, the beloved author of The Happiness Project shows us how to take control of our stuff--and, by extension, our lives. Gretchen Rubin knows firsthand that creating order can make our lives happier, healthier, more productive, and more creative. But for most of us, a rigid, one-size-fits-all solution doesn't work. When we tailor our approach to suit our own particular challenges and habits, we can find inner calm. With a sense of fun, and a clear idea of what's realistic for most people, Rubin suggests dozens of manageable tips and tricks for creating a more serene, orderly environment, including: - Never label anything "miscellaneous."- Ask yourself, "Do I need more than one?"
- Don't aim for minimalism.
- Remember: If you can't retrieve it, you won't use it.
- Stay current with a child's interests.
- Beware the urge to "procrasticlear." By getting rid of things we don't use, don't need, or don't love, we free our minds (and our shelves) for what we truly value.
Review Quotes
Accolades and Praise for GRETCHEN RUBIN#1 New York Times bestselling author
Member of Oprah's SuperSoul 100 "Aided by her formidable intelligence and willingness to try anything, she spent a year road-testing every theory about happiness she could get her hands on, using her own life as the road." --TIME "Once you've read Gretchen Rubin's tale of a year spent searching for satisfaction, you'll want to start your own happiness project and get your friends and family to join you. This is the rare book that will make you both smile and think--often on the same page."
--Daniel H. Pink, Drive "Rubin had learned that there was a close correlation between habits and happiness, so she figured out how we form them, use them, and change them. Once I came to understand habits as harnessing our own laziness--making a habit frees you from decision-making, which you can use to your advantage--my relationship to them changed permanently." --The New Yorker
"Lays out life's essential goals... serves as a kind of detailed instruction manual on how to achieve them."
--New York Times Book Review "If anyone can help us stop procrastinating, start exercising or get organized, it's Gretchen Rubin. The happiness guru takes a sledgehammer to old-fashioned notions about change." --Parade "Gretchen Rubin combines deep research and observations from her own life to explain how habits emerge and--more important--how they can change. It's indispensable for anyone hoping to overhaul how they (almost unthinkingly) behave."
--Charles Duhigg, The Power of Habit "Gretchen Rubin is a writer after my own heart--seriously brilliant, very warm, and funny. I think she's amazing." --Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird and Help, Thanks, Wow
"Gretchen Rubin's superpower is curiosity... Weaving together research, unforgettable examples, and her brilliant insight, Better Than Before is a force for real change." --Brené Brown, Dare to Lead and Daring Greatly
"With her characteristic mix of delightful charm, thoughtful research, and insightful advice... Gretchen Rubin shows how to add fun, joy, and harmony to your home life."
--Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking
Loaded with practical solutions and impeccable research. Rubin is also a fine writer, and her enthusiasm for improving lives is contagious.
--Harlan Coben
