You're listening to the Feel Good Effect. Today's episode is all about how to find

outer order and inner calm, we're talking decluttering with the master, Gretchen Rubin.

Gretchen is one of today's most influential and thought-provoking observers of happiness

in 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.

Basically, she's just no nonsense. She knows what she's talking about.

She does a ton of research, really digs into the concept, and then is able to explain it in a way that helps you better understand yourself

and ways to really make change. And today, we're talking about how she does that in relation

to decluttering and simplifying. She's the author of many books, including the Blockbuster

New York Times bestsellers, The Four Tendencies, better than before, and the Happiness Project.

She also has a top-ranked award-winning podcast Happier with Gretchen Rubin, where she discusses

happiness and good habits with her sister, Elizabeth. This is Gretchen's second time on the

Feel Good Effect. We're very excited to welcome her back. Last time, we talked a lot about her study of happiness and her

understanding of how happiness shows up and how we can have more of it. And also her book,

The Four Tendencies, including a quiz that you can take. We'll put that in the show notes to

better understand your own tendency and then how to leverage that to make habit change easier.

If you haven't listened to that episode,

I highly recommend that you go back.

We'll put a link in the show notes.

That was episode number 15 that aired September 13th, 2017.

So go back, take a listen, figure out your tendency,

and then we'll dive into this discussion on In or Order, Outer Calm with Gretchen Rubin.

Let's make it happen.
