Hello and welcome to Happier, a podcast that gives you ideas for how to build happier

habits into your daily life.

This week we'll talk about why September is the other January, and also why a very common

happiness-stumbling block is worrying about what they think.

I'm Gretchen Rubin, a writer whose studies happiness, good habits in human nature.

I'm in New York City and with me is my sister, the sage, Elizabeth Krab.

That's me Elizabeth Krab, a TV writer and producer living in LA, and Gretchen, I'm excited

because you're going to be in Los Angeles very soon staying at my house, which is almost

done being renovated.

Yes, now I'm going to get to get to tour the whole thing.

I'm very excited.

Maybe clear a closet while I'm there.

If you haven't cleaned that too much already, which I kind of think you probably have not.

But yes, I am counting down the days for the four tendencies to hit the shelves.

It is 34 days away from publication.

And Elizabeth, you and I are thinking about doing something new to do something novel and

challenging and tons of fun, we think, which is to have a meet-up.

Yes, we're thinking on September 17, which is a Sunday.

We'd love to go somewhere and have our listeners, anyone who wants to come say hi to us,

say hi, probably around 6 p.m.

No signing, right?

You won't be signing books, you'll just be chatting, but you will take selfies.
