02/08/22 • 14 min
Happiness is an inside job. It has to authentically come from you, both in the big sweeps of joy and the little moments of life. But how do we find it? Today we hear from Gretchen Rubin, a writer who explores human nature to understand how we can make our lives better. She explains why happy people are more altruistic and gives us practical tools to help us achieve more happiness.

204. How to tap into your creative power
Today is an extra special episode, because it stars my own two kiddos! We love to read together before bedtime, and recently we’ve read some good throwback books from when they were smaller. It dawned on me that even though the simplest picture books might be written for our little ones, sometimes they contain so much wisdom for adulting as well. Join me as my girls read “Harold and the Purple Crayon,” which tells a story of creativity and the power we have to change the direction of our life.
