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: Why My Father Decided to Pay the Tourist Tax
When we went on a big family trip, my father told us, “We need to be willing to pay the tourist tax.” That is, by being willing sometimes to pay a bit too much for things, we could have more fun and more trust in our travels.

Customer Reviews
Comforting
This was my first time tuning into Happier and I absolutely loved it! I found the conversation to be so impactful and everyone should take the time to tune in. Bravo work Gretchen
Makes you smile!
In a world with stress and anxiety, I find this podcast uplifting. I often find myself smiling or laughing out loud at what is said, and the suggestions made can be easily implemented in everyday life. Highly recommend!!! Be happy!!!
Chock Full of Practical Tips
Sisters Gretchen and Liz follow a trusty format that is both comforting and motivating. It’s the perfect podcast to listen to at the start of the new year. An example of one of Gretchen’s goals for the new year: “make an effort to appear visibly happy to see people.” I realized that I need to work on this too. I tried it at a sports practice with other kids’ parents, and I couldn’t believe the difference it made.
