Throughout 2025, I devoted the first full weekend of every month to a tennis-specific interpretation of Gretchen Rubin’s New York Times bestselling book, The Happiness Project. Each installment explored how the book’s themes, habits, and reflections could be adapted to create more joy, intention, and satisfaction both on the court and in daily life. This page gathers those entries in one place. Whether you follow the whole sequence or dip into the topics that resonate most, my hope is that this collection offers encouragement, practical tools, and inspiration for your own pursuit of happiness in tennis and beyond.

Throughout 2025, I am dedicating the first full weekend of every month to exploring how ideas from Gretchen Rubin’s The Happiness Project (<- Sponsored Link) can spark greater enjoyment and happiness in tennis. This is a non-tennis book that I have come to believe everyone should read. Seriously, you should get your hands on a copy of this book and consider trying some of the techniques described by the author.
