Description

Gretchen Rubin is the author of several books, including the #1 New York Times and international bestseller, The Happiness Project—an account of the year she spent test-driving the wisdom of the ages, the current scientific studies, and the lessons from popular culture about how to be happier. On her popular blog, The Happiness Project, she reports on her daily adventures in the pursuit of happiness.

Gretchen’s latest, Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives, tackles the critical question: How do we change? Gretchen Rubin’s answer: through habits. Habits are the invisible architecture of everyday life. It takes work to make a habit, but once that habit is set, we can harness the energy of habits to build happier, stronger, more productive lives.

A graduate of Yale College and Yale Law School, where she was Editor-in-Chief of the Yale Law Journal and winner of the Edgar M. Cullen. Rubin started her career in law while clerking for Justice Sandra Day O’Connor when she realized she really wanted to be a writer.

Copies of Rubin’s latest book Better Than Before will be available for sale at the event along with a selection of her other books.
