Happier with Gretchen Rubin
Ep. 508: Learn from Someone’s Mistake, Stay Connected in a Hard Time & Why Wednesday Is Special

We share listeners’ examples of important lessons they’ve learned from other people’s mistakes–which is much more pleasant than learning from our own mistakes!
We also explore what features make Wednesday a particularly enjoyable day of people’s weeks. Plus we discuss a practical suggestion for staying connected with friends and family after living through a natural disaster.
