Hello and welcome to Happier, a podcast that gives you strategies and tips for how to build

happier habits into your daily life.

This week we'll talk about why you shouldn't treat yourself and we'll talk to the brilliant

writer Jonathan Fields.

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

I'm a New York City and with me is my sister Elizabeth Kraft and Elizabeth talking to you

is always a treat.

Oh, thanks.

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

they're eating a lot more guacamole these days.

We have been inundated with excellent avocado recipes and guacamole recipes from all of

our thoughtful listeners who have been helping me to go onward to more avocado.

So thank you very much.

My favorite is the one where you just have to mash an avocado and then put in fresh

salsa from the store because it's like couldn't be easier.

So I'm going to try that one over the holidays.

Yes, speaking of holidays, the holidays are fast approaching.

Yeah.

And I wanted to tell everyone that if you want a happier t-shirt to email us at podcastagretchenrubin.com

and I will get you information on how to get those and I can get it out quickly, but

you know, it'll take a little bit of time.

So if you want one before Christmas, for sure email us.
