Happiness Is…A Great Book Event in Los Angeles (Actually, Pasadena) and Berkeley.

Bookstore

I had a great time at the book event at the Vroman’s in Pasadena on Monday night — it was particularly fun to have my sister and her husband and friends in the audience. Sarah Fain of Sarah Fain Has Starfish Envy fame was there, as well as the fabulous Colleen Wainwright, a/k/a The Communicatrix.

My visit to the Bay area last night was also terrific. I went straight from the airport to Mountain View to visit Google, where I got to see an old friend (who is also a brilliant writer and editor, one of the first people to comment on a draft of The Happiness Project) and to talk to a roomful of Googlers for the Authors@Google program. They taped the talk, and I hope to post the link soon.

Last night, I did an event at an excellent new bookstore, Books Inc. in Berkeley. Before the book talk, I met with one of the very first happiest-project groups to form – one of the highlights of the whole trip.

Last stop, Seattle! I’m having so much fun, but I’m dying to get home.
