Summary
This was an honor. Welcome Gretchen Rubin to the Hurdle family. Gretchen's known to many as the author of The Happiness Project, one of her many best-selling titles. She's also a member of Oprah’s Super Soul 100, was named one of the Most Creative People in Business by Fast Company. For episode 176, we talk about how she walked away from clerking for Sandra Day O'Connor in Washington D.C. to pursue her dream of becoming an author, and how she became the authority on all things happiness (and habits!). She answers some of your questions about how to best make a career pivot, as well as touches on other hot topics like how people can take steps to be happier in this new "normal," the power of asking tough questions, and how to give up sugar (she would know, she's done it!).
