The Advice We'd Give to Our Younger Selves
Description
Gretchen Rubin joins the show to talk about her new book, Secrets of Adulthood, in which she boils down a lifetime of wisdom into powerful aphorisms that resonate. Gretchen is a bestselling author, podcast host, and one of today's most trusted voices on happiness, habits, and human nature. In this conversation, we talk about the lessons we learn too late, the advice she wants to pass on to her daughters, and why small, well-phrased truths often carry the biggest impact.
Other topics:
– Why she made the leap from clerking at the Supreme Court to writing about happiness
– The Four Tendencies framework and why so many of us are "Obligers"
– Her process for crafting sticky, memorable aphorisms
– Why motivation doesn't work as a motivation tool
