I read Gretchen's The Happiness Projects years ago, and I saw her speak at a book store in the city, so I have been a fan for a while. I started listening to the podcast during the pandemic. I find something valuable in every episode and I am always entertained!!

I liked this pod enough to pick up the book at the library. Unfortunately, the book ruined it for me - she comes off as a completely unrelatable millionaire. I now have a different lens while listening to this and don't enjoy it as much.

I like the Little Happier episodes but not so much the longer versions of the show. Wish Little Happier had it's own podcast.

Description
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.
