Yesterday's post on the Happiest People in the World reminded me of an article that I read recently in Real Simple magazine by Gretchen Rubin, titled "10 Ways to be Happier. " This other Gretchen is the creator of The Happiness Project, a one-year endeavor of her own to be happier.
What she ended up creating is this amazing blog with all sorts of tips on being happier posted every Wednesday. One in particular that I like is the Eleven Tips for Broaching Difficult Subjects. Frequently, when we're faced with a cultural misunderstanding, we tend to talk to others or try to ignore the problem rather than broaching the difficult subject with the alleged offender. This often leads to disastrous results.
What do you think of Gretchen Rubin's tips? Any other posts of hers that you particularly like?
