Hello and welcome to Happier, where we discuss cutting edge science, the wisdom of the ages,

and our own experiences about how to be happier.

This week we'll talk about why you should have a password strategy and also about the

danger of rewards when it comes to forming habits.

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 Elizabeth Kraft, whom I call my sister

the sage because she's always dropping bits of wisdom for me to collect.

That's me Elizabeth Kraft, a TV writer and producer living in LA and Gretchen I am almost

on with this pilot I've been working on.

Just like two more days and then I will be done so I'm very excited.

I'm excited for you because it has been a long intense journey.

It has and then in the next couple weeks we'll find out if it goes to series.

Wish me luck, wish all my team luck.

You need your lucky charm.

I know I got to start wearing my wedding ring every day I guess because remember I said

that's my lucky charm.

I'm not wearing it right now I have to admit.

Anyway so Gretchen tell me about these live Facebook videos you're doing all the time now.

I'm really excited about this.

I've done it for a couple of weeks without talking about enough podcasts to get it underway.

But the plan is going to be every Tuesday at 1pm Eastern Standard Time and I that might have to move slightly week to week.

But basically once a week I'm going to do a Facebook live video live for my apartment.
