The Happiness Project One-Sentence Journal: A Five-Year Record

I love writing a quick memory each day. Helps me remember those precious moments that are so easily forgotten, and writing down a positive memory is definitely a mood booster!

If you like to write and look back over your life and activities over a period of years, this is a great journal in which to do so. The daily quotes on happiness at the top of the page are a fun addition. I love the appearance of this journal and the happy blue and yellow color scheme with handy blue ribbon to mark your place.My grandmother used to keep a 5-Year Journal and after looking at old notebook Journals of mine I realized how interesting it was to look back at the different chapters of my life: going to school, raising children, working etc. Sometimes a few sentences can put you back into that day. For authors, aspiring or published, it might provide ideas for stories and books.Buy yourself a pen you love and writing in this daily is a treat. I bought it along with  Q and A a Day: 5-Year Journal  which asks you a random question each day for 5 years and you can stretch your creative thinking with it. I write in both these journals at the same time each day. If you like this HAPPINESS PROJECT Journal, you should check out Rubin's THE HAPPINESS PROJECT book on how she applied happiness research to her own life to see how it changed her life. It is a very rewarding read and offers ideas on new activities to try.This would make a great gift for someone you love who is reflective and likes to write.

I am in year five of this journal, and had forgotten how much I enjoy keeping a diary. The writing space provided for each day is sufficient for quick thoughts, notes or to record special events. It's a great way to keep track of the big and small moments in life, and fun to look back at previous entries in prior years. The journal construction may not be built to last five years however. I've had to tape the binding, as the spine tears easily, but this may just be from frequent use. Also, by the time year five is reached, I've found that I need to turn the journal upside down to write those pieces because otherwise, they are at the bottom of the page and not as easy to record. The book is the perfect size though, and would be a perfect gift to give a friend also. I'll purchase another at the end of the year. Great purchase.

Two months in, and I’m happier than ever. It’s working!

I like to journal. I'm used to writing 2 or 3 paragraphs, so this Is a new concept for me this book is a 5-year Journal and even though there are bad things that happen in our lives, we need to focus on joy, love, happiness, positive thought. This is a wonderful book. One thing I've learned about one sentence journaling is I will write one sentence one positive sentence, of a blessing, or joy. This is really a neat little book.Write one sentence each day, in 1, 2 or even 5 years what you did on this day. A look back at your journey. The Happiness Project is trying to change our focus from the negative to the positive. What happened that day, the week, what were yyour emotions the good that you're feeling make sure you write in the one sentence what happened that day so that you can remember these things when you read your writing. Helps you recall what brought you happiness during the year. I love the school of thought that you only write one sentence. The thought of writing three or four paragraphs each night in a journal is a turn off to some people. So this is a win win idea. Writing one sentence per day will help you to recall how your life moved forward in the past year. Highly recommend this book. And remember, stay positive!

These concepts are simple ideas to follow that allowed for easy implementation and evaluation. Love many of the ideas presented. The world needs these concepts.

I bought this for my 16 year old and she was doing really well taking the time to write in it every night. She actually looked forward to making an entry and I could see it having a positive benefit on her. However, she slipped out of the habit unfortunately. I still think it's a great tool and very helpful, especially for those struggling with depression or needing to be actively reminded of the good in their lives. Hopefully she'll get back to it soon.

I received this book as a gift a few years ago, and I've loved it so much, I now buy them as gifts for friends.Each page has a few lines for each year, so basically, you write a few lines today, and then you flip to the next page and do the same the following day. At the beginning of the next year, you start the book over again, and as you write each day, you have the chance to read everything that happened that same day in previous years.Each page also has a great quote at the top, prompting some reflection if you'd like it.The book is small and easy to keep on the nightstand, in a drawer, or in a purse/bag.

I’m now on my third one. 12 years keeping records. Have a fourth one ready for 2028-2032. Just love them so much. Great to go back 10 years and remember what you did, who you saw, what you ate, holiday memories… a real must

Hermoso, llego en un día, en perfectas condiciones, excelente material!!

A great journal for five years. Small size makes it convenient to carry. Good quality

Fabulous gift/as expected

I LOVE THIS JOURNAL! Buy it! Just take my word for it. I use ti keep journals all the time when I was a teenager and I never kept one up in my early 20's because frankly I was too busy with school or my career so I didn't have the time to write pages of journal entries. But I wish I had! That's why this journal is perfect! At the end of your long day at school or work you just want to crawl into bed... all you need to take is one minute of your time to write a quick highlight from your day to have a lifetime keepsake of your memories :) and not to mention, this is a perfect gift for that hard to buy for woman in your life!
