To show my appreciation for the support and enthusiasm of Happier with Gretchen Rubin listeners, I wanted to provide an excerpt from the audiobook of my latest book, Life in Five Senses: How Exploring the Senses Got Me Out of My Head and Into the World.

I’m thrilled to say that Life in Five Senses is a New York Times bestseller, and Apple named the audiobook as one of its “must listens.”

As you’ll hear, I narrate the book myself.

If you’d like to know more about my experience of recording it, you can read about it here.

I write about the many tricky words I had to learn how to pronounce, the surprising auditory illusion I experienced during the recording session, and why I had to keep a pillow in my lap the entire time.

If you’d like the discussion guide, retailer links, the “What’s Your Neglected Sense?” quiz, and more resources related to the book, you can find them here.

I hope you enjoy listening to this excerpt.
