I feel like the author didn't really challenge herself at all. She brings up a lot of ideas about how to “improve happiness” but refuses to try highly recommended things (meditation, regular dates with her husband, etc.) because she doesn't anticipate they will work. I get that most people take those ideas and immediately see why they won't work for their situation, but most people aren't writing a stunt book. She should have thrown herself into the concept further, instead of writing the whole book from her (upper class and generally worry-free) comfort zone.
