"I am a person who is subject to epiphanies, but i was staring up at the capital dome against the blue sky," she says. "And it was like those ideas, that set of ideas hit me like a thunderbolt and i was like, power money, fame." Her books have always been about human nature: Who are we? Why do we do what we do? How can we change if we want o change?
Gretchen Rubin (author, The Happiness Project) shares her insight and work on human nature. Her and Greg discuss some of their own creative motivations, understanding different types of personalities, and the importance of relationships and self-knowledge in leading a happier life.
