We talk about how we can boost our happiness by escaping from our own taste.

We also suggest an easy way to make it easier to remember challenging names,

and share the many terrific metaphors that listeners suggested as alternatives to

the “empty nest.”

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.
