This chapter explores the idea that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to managing change or happiness. It discusses the importance of understanding our unique personality traits and how they influence our engagement with change. Gretchen's approach of identifying core personality features, known as tendencies, and using them to engineer tailored solutions in life is also mentioned.
Gretchen Rubin is an author and podcaster with a passion for helping people become happier. One of the biggest lessons she's learned in her decades-long study of the subject is that there's no one-size-fits-all hack to finding happiness. Gretchen talks with Maya about how important it is to tailor our approach based on what she calls the "four tendencies," or personality types.
