Summary
Self-Awareness is the Key to Habit Transformation
Gretchen Rubin emphasizes the importance of self-awareness in understanding our behaviors and motivations, particularly when it comes to habit formation and goal achievement. She explains the Four Tendencies as:
- Upholders - meet both outer and inner expectations
- Questioners - question all expectations and will only meet them if they make sense
- Obligers - readily meet outer expectations but struggle with inner expectations
- Rebels - who resist all expectations, whether they are external or internal
This episode is jam-packed with tips and insight!
