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

Design your summer.  I’m so excited about my plans for the summer!

Deep Dive/Deluge

Back to the emotionally charged issue of…thank-you notes! We talked about this issue in Episode 63. (What name do you like better?) If you want to see my stationery watch this Facebook Live video, around minute 3:45, where I show it off.

Listener Question

Anna asks how to deal with a mother-in-law who wants to spend too much time with her and her husband.
