Summary
This week I'm really excited to bring you an interview with our most requested guest for the show: Gretchen Rubin!! I'm a big fan of Gretchen's work and I often talk about her books and apply herĀ ideas on habit formation and willpower preservationĀ in my coaching sessions.
Here's a little background info on Gretchen just in case you are new to her:
Gretchen RubinĀ is one of the most influential writers on the linked subjects of habits, happiness, and human nature. She's the author of many books, including the blockbusterĀ NewĀ York TimesĀ bestsellersĀ Better Than BeforeĀ andĀ The Happiness Project. Her books have sold more than 3.5 million copies worldwide in more than thirty-five languages, and her popular daily blog, gretchenrubin.com, reports on her adventures in pursuit of habits and happiness. She also has an award-winning podcast,Ā Happier with Gretchen Rubin.Ā
Listen inĀ asĀ Gretchen and I discuss:
- How our habits impact our willpower and our ability to defeat the Evil Donut Bringer at work.
- How to use the treat jar concept to boost our weekend willpower.
- How to figure out which of the four tendencies fits you and how to use that knowledge in your weight loss game plan.
- How outer order can be achieved through decluttering so that we can reach a place of inner calm.
