365 days of not being able to remember

365 days of something...argh.
I had this book a few years (4? 5?) back that was a "do something cool and different every day" sort of thing. I can't for the life of me remember the title - and googling for "365 days book" isn't really working. Some of the things were really hard, and some were easy, along the lines of "smile at a stranger". It was nicely illustrated, and the cover was yellow with black type (rosewood? something along those lines).
I'm coming up completely empty, and I know this isn't a whole lot of information, but I'm hoping that one of you brilliant people will have it on the tip of your bookshelf.

"Smile at a Stranger" is one of the Things in the 43 Things book.

seconding CarolynG with "This Book Will Change Your Life". (note: this book did not change my life.)

Response by poster: YES!!!! Thanks so much. Totally did not change my life, either, but I was looking to find something from it. As always, you folks rock.

Though you've already found the book you were looking for, future readers may also be interested in Astonish Yourself!: 101 Experiments in the Philosophy of Everyday Life, which is written along the same lines.
