Description
Gretchen Rubin is HAPPIER, and she wants you to be happier too. The #1 bestselling author of The Happiness Project and Better Than Before gets more personal than ever as she brings her practical, manageable advice about happiness and good habits to this lively, thought-provoking podcast. Gretchen’s cohost and guinea pig is her younger sister, Elizabeth Craft, a TV writer and producer living in Los Angeles, who (lovingly) refers to Gretchen as her happiness bully. Part of the Audacy Network.

I find some of the advertising offensive.
Post covid? I don't think so.
My ex used to do this 24/7 but I found that he is a narcissist and our ethics were very different. So he would try to say things like an eye for an eye if he steals I'm taking something of his. and he would try to convince me that it was okay to be violent and thuggish.

Hi Gretchen, My suggestion for a family ritual is maybe more habit than ritual, but it is incredibly cozy, builds family memories, and gives you a lot of those "inside jokes". So my suggestion is to Read Aloud every evening to the family. I know it sounds daunting to someone who isn't comfortable reading aloud but it's really worth a try, and young kids aren't usually critical about reading skill :) Tailor the books you choose to your kids ages, and also to Your prefrenses! For example, I won't read The Borrowers series, even tho many enjoy it, because I don't care for them, but I've read appropriate Robin McKinley books to 7 year-olds because I love them! The amount of time you read each evening will vary, and don't worry if you can't do longer reads for weeks at a time, life is sometimes crowded! On the other hand, sometimes you might read for an hour & 1/2 when time and interest combine. You'll have your own favorite books to share, but for sugestions or reminders, my fav
I love this podcast! such a great boost of happiness
well, thanks for nothing Gretchin! haha jk reminds me that I need to re-read "THP" - brush up on the tips & tricks, get a little "THP" motivation boost and *finally* get started // (re-{!!})capture 2022 // New Year energy momentum.
Such a happiness booster. Love how realistic the advice given is.
I love what he says about winding down for sleep. everything in nature responds best to gradual change, and our brains and bodies are no different!
