Hello and welcome to Happier, a podcast where we discuss cutting edge science, the wisdom

of the ages, lessons from pop culture, and our own experiences about how to be happier.

This week we'll talk about why you should have people over and about a possible challenge

with the I-Cook You Clean Approach to Sharing Chores.

I'm Gretchen Rubin at Ryder Who Studies Happiness, Good Habits in Human Nature. I'm in New

York City and with me is my sister, Elizabeth Kraft. And Elizabeth, I wish I could have you

over.

Oh, that's me, Elizabeth Kraft, a TV writer and producer living in LA. Yes, Gretchen,

I love coming over to your apartment and drinking coffee in your kitchen.

Yes. Oh, yeah.

So Gretchen, I have to mention that next week, the 10th anniversary edition of the Happiness

Project is coming out. Yeah.

And it's great for 2019 as you prepare for the new year to read the Happiness Project

if you haven't already or reread it. I know you have new material in it.

Yeah, and the thing that's funny about the Happiness Project is a lot of people do want

to read it in January and kind of go through it the year.

You can do your own Happiness Project starting anytime and you can read the book at any time.

But it is interesting, a lot of people seem to want to start reading it in January. So

I wanted to make sure that the anniversary edition came out well before January. So yeah,

I'm so excited.

It's exciting to have it out in the world again.

Yeah.
