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 Audacy Network.

In The Happiness Project, Gretchen Rubin worked out general theories of happiness. Here she goes deeper on factors that matter for home, such as possessions, marriage, time and parenthood. How can she control the cubicle in her pocket? How might she spotlight her family's treasured possessions? And it really was time to replace that dud toaster. And what does she want from her home? A place that calms her and energises her. A place that, by making her feel safe, will free her to take risks.

Gretchen Rubin explores one of her key secrets to happiness: that for most of us, outer order leads to inner calm. A messy desk or a cluttered cupboard might seem like a trivial matter, yet Rubin has found that by simply organising our stuff, we free up space for what we truly value (in our lives and in our homes). Do I need it? Do I love it? Do I use it? This new volume, with over 150 concrete ideas, approaches the problem of how to best organise our possessions with Gretchen Rubin's characteristic clarity and humour.

Gretchen Rubin had an epiphany one rainy afternoon in the unlikeliest of places: a city bus. "The days are long, but the years are short," she realized. "Time is passing, and I'm not focusing enough on the things that really matter." In that moment, she decided to dedicate a year to her happiness project.

Gretchen Rubin has spent over a decade exploring the different routes to happiness and contentment. But she realised that by focussing so much on the mind, she was missing out on the physical experience of being human. If we don't engage with our senses, time passes without us fully experiencing it. So this audiobook will take you on a journey through the five senses, to help you get out of your head and into your life.

When writing about habits for her last book, Gretchen Rubin stumbled on the biggest discovery of her life - the Four Tendencies. The tendencies describe how a person responds to motivation and how that affects family dynamics, happiness, work and organisations. Investigating the Four Tendencies quickly became the most challenging and important project Gretchen had ever embarked upon.

Wollen wir nicht alle glücklicher sein - und wissen nicht, wie...

Wenn Gewohnheiten der Schlüssel zu Veränderungen sind, wie schafft man es dann, seine Angewohnheiten zu verändern?

Tras años de estudiar distintos aspectos de la naturaleza humana, Gretchen Rubin descubrió que podemos aprender mucho sobre nuestra conducta y actitudes si analizamos cómo respondemos a las expectativas propias y las de los demás. Como explica este libro revelador, existen cuatro tendencias de personalidad: los favorecedores, los cuestionadores, los complacientes y los rebeldes. Cada uno de estos grupos responde de manera diferente a las relaciones de pareja y familia, al trabajo y a sus propios objetivos.
