SIGN UP TODAY

Gretchen Rubin is a New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Project and Happier at Home, whose latest work Better Than Before, is a book about personal habits and taking action. And it couldn’t be any better reading for players in the Whole Life Challenge.

We invited her to join us for this episode of the WLC Podcast because of the value both Michael and I got from reading Better than Before. We thought that talking with Gretchen about her research and methods would give us additional insight into her specific and practical advice about making positive and lasting change in your life.

Let’s just say she didn’t disappoint! Join us as we discuss taking action as it relates personally to both of us, along with some of the things we discovered about ourselves that apply to how we approach the Whole Life Challenge.

For more on Gretchen, and to find out which of the four action-taking types you are, check out her website.
