Defining happiness for yourself, featuring Gretchen Rubin

Happiness is an inside job. It has to authentically come from you, both in the big sweeps of joy and the little moments of life. But how do we find it? Today we hear from Gretchen Rubin, a writer who explores human nature to understand how we can make our lives better. She explains why happy people are more altruistic and gives us practical tools to help us achieve more happiness. Watch the full clip here.
