Summary

I'm talking today with New York Times best-selling author Gretchen Rubin. I've learned so much from Gretchen's research on happiness from her book The Happiness Project, and I've studied her work on habits from the book Better Than Before. Gretchen's latest book is called The 4 Tendencies: The Indispensable Personality Profiles That Reveal How to Make Your Life Better (and Other People's Lives Better, Too).

I invited her on the show because the four tendencies are not just another personality type: They're about how people tend to respond to and meet expectations. When I first heard about the tendencies, I immediately saw the application to our work in the classroom, because it's such a challenge to figure out how to get students to meet expectations.

Listen in as Gretchen and I talk about understanding students' tendencies — as well as our own — so we can be more productive and accomplish the things that really matter.
