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. Part of the Cadence13 Network.

Little Happier: What We Can Learn from Mark Twain’s Cat Who Sat on a Hot Stove
It’s important to make sure that we don’t learn the wrong lessons from pain, frustration, criticism, or failure. Like a cat, we want to learn not to sit on a hot stove—but maybe we still want to be able to sit on a stove that’s cold.

Like trusted friends
So happy to have found Gretchen and Elizabeth and the podcast - I look forward to every episode and always laugh, learn and leave happier :) feels like listening to long time and wise friends, especially in these strange times x
Practical and positive podcast
Lots of small tips and tricks from these 2 sisters delivered in a lovely chatty and accessible way. I love that they really understand and acknowledge that different tips will work for different types of people. Always an uplifting listen in these difficult times, thank you both
A lovely inspiring weekly treat
I’ve been reading and re-reading Gretchen’s books for years having stumbled on one in a public library and have got lots of great ideas from them. I also loved the page a day calendar “A happier 2018” and hope that there will be another one soon. The books are great for travelling too - those times (in the pre pandemic life) when a change of scenery helps you reflect on your life and changes you want to make. I only discovered the podcasts in lockdown and they have been a joy! Like a cosy weekly chat with good friends and I always come away with good ideas to try. What I really like is that Gretchen and Elizabeth come across as so human and honest - not setting themselves up to preach but able to talk about their lives and what they’ve messed up or struggle with. I also like the regular slots - and the interviews. The one with Ann Patchett was really insightful and I listened to it twice and have recommended it to so many friends!
Thank you!
