It’s time for the next installment of  “Happier with Gretchen Rubin.”

Update

Elizabeth’s trip to New York City, sadly, got cancelled.

Try This at Home

Take one thing with you. A clutter-busting strategy. Yes, this is so simple that it sounds dumb, but try it!

Happiness Stumbling Block

Impulse buying. We talk a lot about two strategies from Better than Before: the Strategy of Inconvenience and the Strategy of Monitoring.

We also talk about under-buyers and over-buyers.

Listener Question

“I have a lot to be grateful for, but I still don’t call myself a happy person. Why?”

Elizabeth works in a plug for my Super Soul Sunday appearance with Oprah. What a nice sister.

Gretchen’s Demerit

Since we got Barnaby, I’ve stopped going to my cardio gym.

Elizabeth’s Gold Star

Elizabeth’s sister-in-law Michelle did a great job hosting Thanksgiving.
