Hello and welcome to Happier, a podcast that gives you strategies for building happier

habits into your daily life.

This week we'll talk about why you should give someone a surprise treat and we're very

excited to have a special guest today, the musician and writer Moby.

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

I'm in New York City and with me is my sister Elizabeth Kraft, who's my favorite person

to talk to about happiness.

That's me Elizabeth Kraft, a TV writer and producer living in LA and Gretchen today I'm happy

and sad because Jack is reaching the end of his kindergarten year.

Oh, feeling a little weepy but also excited.

The days are long but the years are short.

Exactly.

What I wanted to remind people about is that I'm doing my Facebook live video every week.

Usually it's Tuesdays at 1 p.m. Eastern so if you want, if you have stuff that you're

burning to say or questions or observations about what we're talking about on the podcast,

please tune into that on my Facebook page Gretchen Rubin and we will take the conversation

to another level.

Yes.

So that's Tuesdays on Facebook.

I've been trying to tune in to those grouches and watch you.

Oh, well you should chime in, you should comment.

I know.
