Blog posts and literature abound the characteristics of successful people—all commendable traits that one wants, or thinks one ought, to emulate in order to achieve comparable success. This conversation with Gretchen Rubin, the author of The Happiness Project, provides a lively, no-nonsense entry into the subject. Her latest book, Better Than Before, explores why routines play such a crucial role in our personal fulfillment and success. Dull as it may seem at first glance, establishing new routines is also a very down-to-earth, feasible and ultimately effective approach. It rests on the premise that each unique individual needs his/her unique approach. In other words, Rubin doesn’t recommend going against one’s nature, but knowing one’s nature first in order to better dance with it in constructive ways. Enjoy, and let yourself be inspired.
