Don't Forget to Pack Some Happy: Travel Tips from Gretchen Rubin (The Happiness Project)

Gretchen Rubin's book The Happiness Project is not just a #1 New York Times bestseller, it is a MOVEMENT. I keep hearing about how this book is really inspiring people to bring the happy back. Rubin describes it as "a memoir of the year I spent test-driving the wisdom of the ages, the current scientific studies, and the lessons from popular culture about how to be happy--from Aristotle to Martin Seligman to Thoreau to Oprah."

One of her tips for happiness is to take a vacation! Recognizing that relaxation is a must, Rubin made "resolutions to Be serious about play, Take time to be silly, Force myself to wander."  Other travel related posts on The Happiness Project blog include 5 Tips for Happiness Reinforced by My Family Vacation and Eight Tips for Items to Carry When Traveling with Kids.
