Many people spend a significant part of their lives trying to “find” their passion.  Some will “pursue” their passion.  I encourage you to explore it.

America’s Founding Fathers thought of the pursuit of happiness as a way of life that everyone should enjoy.  They defined this happiness as the internal result of an external contribution to society — far from the self-gratuitous definition many think of today.  How do you define happiness?

Gretchen Rubin is one of today’s most influential and thought-provoking observers of happiness and human nature. She’s known for her ability to distill and convey complex ideas with humor and clarity, in a way that’s accessible to a wide audience.

She’s the author of many books, including the blockbuster New York Times bestsellers Outer Order, Inner Calm, The Four Tendencies, Better Than Before, and The Happiness Project. She has an enormous readership, both in print and online, and her books have sold over 3.5 million copies worldwide, in more than thirty languages. (The Happiness Project spent two years on the bestseller list.)

In today's podcast, I'll give you a peek into a great book, "Better Than Before," where Rubin discusses 'What I Learned About Making and Breaking Habits--to Sleep More, Quit Sugar, Procrastinate Less, and Generally Build a Happier Life.'

Better Than Before: Most of us have a habit we'd like to change, and there's no shortage of expert advice. But as we all know from tough experience, there is no magic 'one-size-fits-all' solution for everything from weight loss to personal organization. In Better Than Before, Gretchen Rubin explores her theory of 'The Four Tendencies' dividing people into four basic groups: Upholder, Obliger, Questioner and Rebel.

Here's a link to her site and more information about this book: https://gretchenrubin.com/books/better-than-before/about-the-book/
