Ariel Gore

"Can a woman be smart, empowered, and happy?" Ariel Gore wanted to know, so she began a "study in living"- a journey into the feminine history, science, and experience of happiness. Bluebird: Women and the New Psychology of Happiness, forthcoming for Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, chronicles the often surprising answers. An award-winning journalist, Gore is also the author of numerous books on parenting, the novel The Traveling Death and Resurrection Show, and the memoir Atlas of the Human Heart.

Her PT blog is Women and Happiness.
