We discuss surprising new research that suggests that being accommodating

doesn’t actually make us more likable. We also mention a hack that makes habit-

keeping easier, discuss whether or not we’ve kept childhood vows, and debate a

listener’s question about how to handle her unusual challenge with her in-laws.

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.
