What’s Your Project #133 Things To Be Happy About by Barbara Ann Kipfer

in Books, Projects, Weblogs, What's Your Project?

Since sixth grade, I kept a notebook of things to be happy about. It grew and grew and GREW and became the book 14,000 things to be happy about (Workman, 1990, 2007 revised). The book has a life of its own, selling more than a million copies over the years – and in 1990 it was tied for #11 on the paperback bestseller list. When the Web came along, I started my website, thingstobehappyabout.com, which now has a database of more than 100,000 happy things! That’s my project, to build the largest possible database of things to be happy about and share it with everyone!

Thank you so much for sharing my story. 52Projects, the book and site, is among my favorites. I could hang out all day and add things to my ginormous happy list! Kudos to Jeffrey!

Thats so sweet. Its very rare to find someone who remembers everything from childhood. I am sure you must have had an awesome time compiling it.
