Ep. 536: Make a Before-&-After Book, Enter the Library, and How to Deal with a Questioner Spouse

from Happier with Gretchen Rubin · host Gretchen Rubin / The Onward Project

We discuss how creating before-and-after photo books of renovations or improvements can bring satisfaction and preserve memories. Our happiness hack suggests visiting your local library (or museum) for the first time; that first visit can be surprising to make. We also share listeners’ strategies for handling a spouse who asks too many questions at inopportune times.
