Customer Reviews
Love Gretchen even more than before!
Happiness Project is one of my all-time favorite non-fiction books--I could almost stay it is my bible. Eventually I ask everyone in my life, “Have you read ‘The Happiness Project?’” The writing is the perfect balance of discovery, success, and reconciling with one’s true self. I re-read it regularly and I have enjoyed Happier at Home and Better Than Before as well. I decided to subscribe to the Happier Podcast because honestly, I missed Gretchen.
The first podcast I listened to was about a Japanese company who made a major business decision via Roshambo. “Fun!” I thought. But episode 478, “An Easy Way to Make Life More Interesting” hooked me because I too believe that learning how things worked makes life more interesting. And I read a lot. Having a sister myself, I liked the sisters’ banter. I then learned that this podcast offered me something NO OTHER podcast does—the ability to listen at 1x. It’s true! Every other podcast I listen to I listen to 1.5 - 2x its original speed because their slow speaking and self-indulgent, pregnant pauses are too much. But Gretchen lives at my speed. Like I said, I didn’t know it was possible to love Gretchen even more than before, but now I do.
Slow down
Love, the content, always have. Gretchen you seem to have sped up your talking, which makes my brain go into overdrive. Definitely not a happy feeling. If you were able to slow down your speaking and deliver your content in a more calm manner, I would enjoy listening again.
Love the pod!
Such a great listen. Easy listening and happy to listen!
