Gretchen Rubin: Think about milestones, not finish lines - a podcast by Chase Jarvis

Gretchen Rubin is the author of several blockbuster NYT bestsellers (Better Than Before, The Happiness Project and Happier At Home) which have sold millions of copies worldwide. If you notice a common theme of “happiness,” that’s because Gretchen is one of the world’s foremost “happiness experts.”

Today on the podcast,

* Gretchen talks about her concept of “drift." Drift is what happens when we take the path of least resistance, which avoids friction in the short term but often leads to unhappiness in the long term

* She also gets into several of her “personality frameworks” like obliger, upholder, rebel, questioner. 

* We talk about accountability: “A lot of people who are frustrated with themselves just need accountability.” Boom.
