1KHO 859: The Duty of Being Happy | Gretchen Rubin, The Happiness Project
3w ago00:58:09Summary readyMost of us assume we'll appreciate life more someday. Gretchen Rubin makes the case that "someday" starts with the next choice we make. In her second visit to the podcast, we talk about why happiness is less about getting everything you've ever wanted and more about noticing what's already good, letting go of the little things that steal your joy, finding your people, and making room for more play, more gratitude, and more delight. I left this conversation wanting to pay better attention to my own life, and I think you will too. Listen in, then tell me which idea you're going to try first.
