Episode notes
No One Right Way to Happiness
- Gretchen Rubin found that people often ask about the "best" way to be happier.
- She uses the analogy of cooking an egg: there's no single best way, it depends on individual preferences.
Paradoxes of Adulthood
- Aphorisms often contain paradoxes, like "We care for many people we don't particularly care for."
- This encourages reflection and self-clarification.
This Too Shall Pass
- Current worries often seem permanent, but remembering that "one day now will be a long time ago" provides perspective.
- This helps appreciate the present and reduces dread.
