HAPPIER AT HOME Kiss More, Jump More, Abandon a Project, Read Samuel Johnson, and My Other Experiments in the Practice of Everyday Life

Rubin’s follow up to THE HAPPINESS PROJECT is more of the same—in a good way. If you liked the first book, you’ll enjoy this one as well. Narrator Käthe Mazur does a flawless job. Her spot-on timing is evenly paced at a measured and unhurried speed yet never drags. Her voice has a mellifluous quality that is easy to listen to, yet it brings emphasis and emotion to Rubin’s ongoing quest. You'll find Rubin's daily struggle to make her home a better place for herself and her family filled with plenty of good simple advice, including abandoning some projects even when she’s invested them with time and energy.
