I Hate Spunk
Title: “Better Than Before: What I Learned About Making and Breaking Habits — to Sleep More, Quit Sugar, Procrastinate Less, and Generally Build a Happier Life”
Author: Gretchen Rubin
Rank: 98
Blurb: “Rubin uses herself as guinea pig, tests her theories on family and friends, and answers readers’ most pressing questions — oddly, questions that other writers and researchers tend to ignore.”
Review: “I know way more about Gretchen’s life, thoughts, and feelings than I want to.”
