Ep.20: Better Than Before with Gretchen Rubin




The Simple Show show

Summary: Why does it seem easier for some people to make new habits than others? Maybe it's not so much that it's easier... they're just forming a new habit in a way that works best for them. Gretchen Rubin loves studying this sort of stuff, so she and Tsh talk all about habits. Her research led her to this idea that we can each fall in to one of four tendencies?upholders, questioners, obligers, and rebels?and knowing which one you are is monumentally helpful in habit forming. She's well-known for her bestselling book The Happiness Project, and her newest book, Better Than Before is now available in paperback.
