Hello and welcome to Happier, a podcast about how to be Happier.

This week we are live from the Brawavik Theatre in San Francisco.

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

Usually I record this podcast from a tiny studio in New York City, but this week I am here

in San Francisco with my sister Elizabeth Kraft.

That's me Elizabeth Kraft, a TV writer and producer living in Los Angeles and Gretchen

and we're live.

Hey everybody.

Hey, thanks for being here.

We have a tradition on the show that for every 10th episode we do a very special episode.

And this time we are cheating a little bit.

This is actually episode 49, but you know whatever close enough, for instance, it's our very

special episode.

Yeah, and special because I got my hair blown out.

Normally, I'm doing this in a deserted office at 730 in the morning with just like headset

and microphone.

So, this is different.

And Elizabeth is an 8 person, so for her this is much more her vibe.

So, we'll do it the evening from now on.

And so, as always we're going to have a try this at home.

We're going to have a happiness stumbling block and we're going to have two great guests.
