Happier at Home

I really like Gretchen Rubin and her quest for self perfection. I vacillate between being inspired by her detailed, mindful thoughts of how to make tiny behavior changes to make life better (an approach that suits me as well) and being totally stressed by all the things she discovers she should be doing (and apparently successfully adopts as new habits!) that I am not doing. I really identified her quest to engage with her personal space (like home decoration stuff) rather than to follow her instinct of just not bothering. But then I get stressed out thinking about how I can improve my own space/life. Self help lit is like this as a rule I think, kind of enlightening but kind of stressful. So maybe I'll just shift back to mystery and fantasy.

The library's kindle version of this book was corrupted and was ruining my kindle reading experience (super slow) so I actually gave up about 40% through the book. But I think I got enough from it.
