Answer: The Happiness Project

Gretchen Rubin had the idea to write this book one afternoon while sitting on a bus.

Over 2.5 million copies of this book have been sold since its publication in 1998.

When it was first released it was a resounding success; however, it later came under severe criticism from various parties. He was criticised by members of the mental health community and many found the religious content very off-putting.
