The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin

The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin, 315 pages

I purchased this book years ago always waiting for a perfect time to read it.  Well, now was the time.   I thought the book was going to be a general month by month guide to be happier.  But, what I found was a very inspiring book on how the author achieved happiness in a year in twelve areas of her life.  For example, in January she found more energy and in February, she stopped nagging her husband.  This is a very self motivating book!

The Path Made Clear, Discovering Your Life's Direction & Purpose by Oprah Winfrey

The Path Made Clear, Discovering Your Life's Direction & Purpose by Oprah Winfrey, 208 pages

Oprah's new book is full of inspiration.  Oprah writes everyone in life has a purpose.  It is each person's responsibility to figure it out as soon as possible.  The book contains key lessons by Oprah with bits of wisdom from other famous people.  The book also contains some beautiful photographs.  I like that she says everyone has a purpose, but I think that should be obvious.

Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis

Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis, 220 pages

I really wanted to like this book.  I waited so long for this book that I almost bought it.  I didn't know much about this book except by the picture I thought it was about some young women whose life was a disorganized mess.  But, what I found out is Rachel owns the lifestyle website, TheChicSite.com and is CEO of a media company.  I read all this about half way through this book and realized the book is just a plug to get you to her website.  Also, her husband was some big executive for Disney so she has been to the Academy Awards.  Don't get me wrong, this is a self help and motivational book to inspire you to finish what you start and don't give up and that you can do anything.  But, I thought it was written by a down and out young lady, not  by a women who already has it all.  The chapters are full of her own life experiences, and at the end of some chapters, she does have bullet points.  Rachel Hollis also writes the fiction series Party Girl.
