Today’s episode, which originally aired on March 18th, features Gretchen Rubin, an inspirational best-selling author. Gretchen started her career in law and was clerking at the Supreme Court when she realized that she really wanted to be a writer. Since becoming a writer, she’s become one of the most thought-provoking and influential writers on habits and happiness of our time. She is the author of several books, including the blockbuster #1 New York Times bestseller The Happiness Project. It is based on the year in Gretchen’s life, which she spent experimenting about how to be happier.
She is out with a brand new book – Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives.
