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

habits into your daily life.

This week we're going to do a roundup about the four tendencies, which is just so fascinating.

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

I'm in New York City and talking to me is my sister Elizabeth Kraft.

And in case you have forgotten, I'm an upholder and she's an obligator.

We're a great team.

It's me, Elizabeth Kraft, a TV writer and producer living in LA.

Gretchen, I am not too proud to admit that I'm really jealous you're an upholder.

I love you just the way you are.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

Well, before we get into the show, we want to remind everybody that last week we announced

that we are going to be doing a live podcast in San Francisco on January 21st.

Yeah, huge, our first live event.

Yeah, really exciting, really nerve-wracking.

And the cool thing is that a copy of your book better than before comes with the ticket

and you will be signing those books after the show.

Yeah, and we've been talking so much about what are we going to do in the show?

We want to have surprises.

We have one of our little treats.

We're taking it up a notch.
