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

live a happier life.

This week we'll talk about why having a quest boost happiness and we'll talk with the

brilliant science writer Gary Talks.

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

I'm in New York City and with me is my sister, Elizabeth Kraft, who has some exciting

news.

Yes, Gretchen, that's me Elizabeth Kraft, a TV writer and producer, living in LA and

my book, Flower, came out yesterday.

Excellent!

So tell us about it.

I mentioned it on the podcast before.

I co-authored it with a writer named Shay Olson who's incredible and she really sort

of carried the water on this so I have to give her credit.

It's a young adult book.

It's a romance about a girl who all she wants is to go to college and she's sworn off guys

until she is older but she meets somebody who tempts her to get into a relationship.

So it's juicy and fun and I really love it.

So Flower is the name and it's available wherever you buy books.

Yes and I'll put a link to it in the show notes.

I love your cast.com slash 98 and also I'll put an image of the cover.

It's got a great cover.
