&lt;p&gt;Following up on yesterday&amp;#8217;s post (below), a few snippets from Part II of the WSJ Law Blog interview with Gretchen Rubin, &amp;#8220;the brains behind the Happiness Project&amp;#8221;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Know thyself&amp;#8212;as soon as possible:&lt;/b&gt; &amp;#8220;At some point you have to sit down and examine yourself. Nobody wants to work through the exercises in &lt;i&gt;What Color is Your Parachute?&lt;/i&gt; &amp;#8212; it&amp;#8217;s a very hard process, hard for people to acknowledge their own natures. But I strongly think people need to do it. And it&amp;#8217;s better to do it before law school than during or after.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;But it&amp;#8217;s never too late.&lt;/b&gt; Even if you never figured out the color of your chute, drifted into law school and now find yourself among the legions of unhappy lawyers, there is still hope: To help readers construct their own &amp;#8220;happiness project&amp;#8221;, Rubin offers an online toolbox. The good news for &amp;#8220;lawyerly types&amp;#8221; who are more comfortable taking on concrete assignments than working toward amorphous goals: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s very task and goal oriented&amp;#8221;. And it won&amp;#8217;t even require you to budge from your Aeron chair, since &amp;#8221;it&amp;#8217;s something you can engage with while you&amp;#8217;re sitting at your desk.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;- posted by vera&lt;/p&gt;
