Summary
Are you an obliger? Upholder? Rebel? Or questioner? These are what Gretchen Rubin has categorized and written about in her most recent book, "The Four Tendencies". In this episode, Gretchen and I discuss these four ways in which human nature, in her opinion, shines through. Best practices for how to show up in every situation your day and your relationships demand of you. If you are seeking a deeper understanding of how to improve your communication skills, how to better comprehend the actions of others and overall take your sense of awareness to a whole new level then you have tuned in to the right podcast!
You may recognize Gretchen from such amazing other works as "The Happiness Project" and "Better Than Before", as well as her TED Talk (that I still reference on a regular basis) "Five Half-Truths About Happiness". For all of Gretchen's amazing content you can check her website at GretchenRubin.com.
