| 0:00.0 | This is the 10% Happier Podcast. I'm Dan Harris. |
| 0:19.4 | Hey, hey, happy Sunday. |
| 0:31.6 | Today we're sharing an episode of a podcast that my team and I love from a person who I have known for a long time and really admire and respect and love. And it's Gretchen Rubin. |
| 0:33.1 | She's got a show called Happier. |
| 0:35.0 | She's a very successful author. |
| 0:37.2 | She's written books including The Happiness Project and The Secrets of Adulthood and Better Than Before, all of them bestseller. She's also got a substack and you should check her out there. And like I said, she's got a podcast. It's a weekly podcast with her sister, Elizabeth Kraft, who's a TV writer in Hollywood. As I mentioned, it's called Happier. |
| 0:55.6 | Today, we're going to share an episode of Happier with you here. |
| 0:58.6 | On this episode, you're going to hear Elizabeth and Gretchen talk about the idea of the family |
| 1:04.2 | dialect or family dialect, words and phrases that are only used within your family. |
| 1:09.7 | They also have some ideas for how to organize |
| 1:11.3 | apps on your phone, and they share some secrets of adulthood from listeners. Secrets of |
| 1:16.1 | adulthood are basically aphorisms or little missiles of wisdom that you can surface in your |
