Knowing ourselves as we've been talking about, knowing our loopholes even is very helpful because then we can take that knowledge back to either quitting or undoing a bad habit or forming a new habit. So what's the best way for us to form habits in a positive or negative way? Some people say, well, you want to be positive for my proper new habit instead of saying, no, I won't do this moving forward. Do you have a thought on that? And it really matters that if it's important to you that things be in the positive, you really want to think about it in the positive.
This week I’m excited to re-release this conversation with Gretchen Rubin. At the time of this original recording Gretchen was promoting her then new book The Four Tendencies: The Indispensable Personality Profiles That Reveal How to Make Your Life Better. I recently interviewed Gretchen again for a forthcoming book and that conversation will be released soon. However, speaking to her reminded me of how insightful and helpful this talk was. In the Four Tendencies, Gretchen breaks down setting and meeting inner and outer expectations and creating good habits to have greater happiness. I really enjoyed this talk and wanted to share it with everyone in the event that you missed it the first time and get you excited for our new conversation that I will be posting in the coming weeks.
Gretchen Rubin is the author of several books, including the blockbuster New York Times bestsellers, Better Than Before, The Happiness Project and Happier at Home. In addition to writing Gretchen also has a very popular podcast, ‘Happier with Gretchen Rubin’ that she hosts alongside her sister.
