Well, in this episode, Gretchen Rubin is our guest.

She's the author of several books, including the New York Times bestsellers,

Better Than Before, The Happiness Project and Happier at Home.

And on her popular weekly podcast, Happier with Gretchen Rubin,

she discusses good habits and happiness with her sister Elizabeth Kraft. And in this episode,

Live Happy's own, Deborah Heist talked about the power of habits in creating a happier and more

successful life. Gretchen, thanks for coming on the Live Happy Now podcast today. We really appreciate it.

I'm very happy to be talking to you. For those of you don't know, Gretchen is a regular columnist for Live Happy, and we've really enjoyed having her columns in the magazine. So if for those of you haven't checked those out, go online. A lot of them are online on the LiveHapy.com website, or start subscribing to the magazine. We'd love to have you reading the wonderful words of wisdom

that Gretchen typically brings. But that's not why we're here today. Today we want to talk about

her book, which just came out in paperback. Now, this was your third book. Is that correct?
