Better Than Before Gretchen Rubin Reviewed by Robert Schmidt
Why read this book? The author of the blockbuster New York Times bestsellers, The Happiness
Project and Happier at Home, 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.
So if habits are a key to change, then what we really need to know is: How do we
change our habits? Let’s find out!
Better than Before answers that question. It presents a practical, concrete
framework to allow readers to understand their habits—and to change them for
good. Infused with Rubin’s compelling voice, rigorous research, and easy humor,
and packed with vivid stories of lives transformed, Better than Before explains the
(sometimes counter-intuitive) core principles of habit formation.
