So the bestselling author of The Happiness Project undertook a new one with a focus on home. And what did she want from home? A place that both calmed and energized her, and made her feel safe enough to take risks. So Rubin dedicated a year to making her home a place of greater simplicity, comfort, and love. (Bestseller)
