Hello and welcome to Happier, a podcast that gives you strategies and tips for building

happier habits into your daily life.

This week we'll talk about planning a secret date and we'll talk to the brilliant writer

and thinker Susan Kain, author of Quiet, The Power of Interverts in a World that Can't

Stop Talking, and the founder of The Quiet Revolution.

I'm Gretchen Rubin, a writer whose study is happiness, good habits, and human nature.

I'm in New York City and with me is my sister Elizabeth Krap and I got a big kick recently

out of an email that said, hugs to you and the sage with the word sage capitalized.

I love this is your new nickname.

You're the sage.

That's me Elizabeth Krap, a TV writer and producer living in LA and Gretchen now I feel

like I need to be extra wise.

I'm going to try really hard today.

Always, always.

Now I have to thank everyone Gretchen because in a recent episode I mentioned that I needed

to figure out my whole jewelry situation and my new closet how to keep my jewelry in

a way where I can actually see it and use it and not just wear the same thing every day

which is what I usually do.

We got so many suggestions from people about what the perfect jewelry box is.

It was amazing with pictures.

Yes.

It was very helpful.
