    Little Happier: Why Is It So Hard to See and Hear the World from Someone Else’s Perspective?

    Little Happier: Why Is It So Hard to See and Hear the World from Someone Else’s Perspective?

    Despite all good intentions, an accomplished architect built a house with lousy acoustics, even though the owner—the writer Ved Mehta, who was blind--emphasized that the acoustical environment was the most important aspect of the house. It takes constant discipline to remember that what other people value, and what other people seek, may be very different from what we value and what we seek.

    Little Happier: What a Set of 3D “Magic Eye” Postcards Taught Me About Myself

    Little Happier: What a Set of 3D “Magic Eye” Postcards Taught Me About Myself

    Just because something isn’t often used doesn’t mean that it’s useless. My 3D “Magic Eye” postcards are fun to look at, and they also tie me to my own past.

My favorite podcast for years

The Happier podcast has been my go-to podcast as long as I can remember. Gretchen and Liz are insightful and engaging. They bring practical tips every week. After listening for some time you see the world through a new lens, a happier one.

Longtime Listener

Gretchen and Elizabeth make my travels for work a little happier! I especially love their hacks and try this at home tips. After many years of hearing “write a review” I am happy to finally check it off my list!

Love this podcast but new podcast format in Apple is wounding

I’ve been listening since the start but this new Apple podcast format is challenging. Anyway you can get the podcasts to appear with the most recent first instead of starting at 2015? I saw other podcasts were able to make this change where the most recent is appearing first but not this one. So annoying to scroll through all the years when I receive the alert new podcast is out.
