Gretchen Rubin: The Hidden Patterns Controlling Your Life and Habits | Human Behavior | E399
Descripción del Episodio
Human nature often pushes us to follow paths that look right on paper, even when they no longer serve us. For years, Gretchen Rubin pursued a prestigious law career that looked perfect on paper, until she realized she lacked passion and was simply drifting through life. That moment led her to leave law and dedicate her work to studying happiness, habits, and human nature. In this episode, Gretchen returns to break down the hidden patterns shaping our decisions and how small “secrets of adulthood” can create meaningful change. She also shares her Four Tendencies framework, explaining how different personality types respond to change.
In this episode, Hala and Gretchen will discuss:

Als inicis de la Guerra Civil, l'Arrabassada era l'indret per excel·lència on la CNT-FAI impartia la justícia revolucionària a Barcelona.

Tot plegat mentre tracten els grans debats de l'actualitat en català i, evidentment, passant-se de frenada.
