Gretchen Rubin
When she was 36, Gretchen Rubin realized that she needed to make time for the things that were important to her. Rubin decided to begin her own happiness project, and each month for the following year, she pursued a different set of resolutions: clean the closets, quit nagging, sing in the morning, write a novel and remember birthdays.

She wrote about that experience in her best-selling book, “The Happiness Project”, and writes a popular daily blog on the same subject which appears on Slate and the Huffington Post and ranks in the prestigious Technorati “Top 2K.”

Her companion website, www.happinessprojecttoolbox.com, allows people to track their own happiness projects, and those of others. She has been widely featured on television and radio, and is currently on a book tour. “The Happiness Project” reached #2 on the New York Times Best Seller list, and is on Oprah Magazine’s list of the 10 books to watch for in January 2010.

A graduate of Yale and Yale Law School (where she was editor-in-chief of the Yale Law Journal), Rubin started her career as a lawyer, and was clerking for Justice Sandra Day O’Connor when she realized she really wanted to be a writer. Raised in Kansas City, she lives in New York City with her husband and two young daughters.
