Happy, just peace, satisfaction, well-being, and like, whatever it is for you. We can all have our own

ideas of what it means to be happy. I actually think that for the average person, it's more

useful to think about, well, whatever it is for you to be happier, could you be happier?

Next week, next month, next year, are there things you could do with your conscious thoughts

and actions that would move you in that direction to be happier, whatever that means for you?

If we have habits that work for us, it's much easier to be happier, healthier, more productive, more creative.

Now, are you living your healthiest, happiest life possible? Are you going through a major life transition

or stalling at everyday dilemmas? Well, best-selling writer Gretchen Rubin might just be able to

inspire change with some simple truths. This is the Lizal Well-Being Show, the podcast helping us

all find ways to have a better second half. I'm Liz Earl and, and I'm sure, as you know by now, I am on such a mission to find ways for all of us to thrive in our later life by investing in our health and our well-being today.

And with summer well in its way, all this month, I want to be looking for ways to inject more joy, more zest for life and joie de vivre

into everyday life. So what's holding you back from being the most content version of yourself,

especially in later life, do you think? Well, Gretchen Rubin is one of the most influential writers

on habits, happiness and human nature.

She sold more than three and a half million books worldwide, including Better Than Before and the Happiness Project.

She also has her own award-winning podcast called Happier with Gretchen Rubin.

Her latest book is Secrets of Adulthood.

In it, Gretchen draws on her long studies of happiness,

as well as her own challenges,

and distills her insights into universal truisms

that will help us live with greater satisfaction,

clarity and, yeah, happiness.
