Are You Stuck In Your Own Head?

Ten years ago, happiness researcher Gretchen Rubin set out to find the framework for a happier life. Testing the wisdom of the ages with scientific research, she learned how to strengthen her relationships, increase energy and more.

But a few years ago, she started to notice that she felt stuck in her head — disconnected from other people and from herself. 

Suddenly, I [Gretchen] realized that I’d been treating my body like a car that my brain was driving around town. But it was actually my body — through my five senses — that was my essential con­nection to the world. I didn’t want to come to the end of my life and think, “So many things happened to me. I wish I’d been paying attention.”

Discover from Gretchen some surprising ways that our senses can help us to focus more deeply, live longer and spark happiness.
