Happier with Gretchen Rubin

Best listen . Always love my bi weekly dose of happier . Such great advice with very spanle recommendations ….

Ok! I get it! Gretchen has a book coming out. I listened to one episode and wanted to tear my hair out

This podcast is hosted by two incredibly intelligent women who lead good discussions about so many aspects of life. Listening to it is such a positive way for me to spend my time. The only thing that drives me absolutely bonkers is how Gretchen interacts with a guest when they are interviewing that guest. The noises she makes as an active listener are really annoying. She says “mmm” and “ahhh” to much. I generally skip over the parts of any episode or Gretchen is interviewing someone. I feel like she either needs to use words like “ok” or “yes” instead of grunts/noises, or maybe just not say anything at all and let the guest continue talking without interruption.

I used to really enjoy this, but I just think it’s run its course. Their ideas now are either unattainable, just impractical, or solely intended to sell their branded products based on the entirely made up 4 tendencies framework. And so many ads!
