“Joy-boosting prompts... frame-worthy illustrations, and stunning photography that are sure to spark your artsy side.” 
—Women’s Health

Happiness isn’t a mood you wait for. It’s a practice you can build. This guided self-love journal draws on happiness research and my own personal philosophy to help you figure out what brings you joy, then make room for more of it.

Over 52 weeks, you’ll move through a four-part process. You’ll get to know what lights you up, let go of what drains you, invest in the people and habits that matter, and shape a life you’ll be glad to grow into. Each list has space to reflect and a prompted action, so the happiness you write about becomes part of your everyday life.

FAQ

Do I have to start at the beginning?
Starting at the beginning works best. The four sections are a step-by-step process, and each one builds on the last. The journal is undated, so you can begin any week of the year.

Is this a gratitude journal?
It’s broader than one. You’ll celebrate what’s good, and you’ll also look at what’s draining you, where to put your energy, and what you want long term. It’s a full happiness practice, not just a daily thank-you list.

How is this different from The 52 Lists Project?
The 52 Lists Project is organized by season and focuses on self-discovery. 52 Lists for Happiness is organized as a four-part process focused on building lasting joy and balance.
