Have enjoyed this podcast since its start, but am disappointed with the advertising partnerships lately. Airbnb and Dell are companies are complicit in the gen0c1d£. Not only running their ads, but you are the VOICES of their ads. Disgusting!

6.5 years ago we got a puppy in part to your suggestions to live a bigger life. These past years have been amazing with our amazing dog. She is always there for us and loves doing things with the family. I took her hiking almost every week and she was so happy up in the mountains. I could go on forever with what an amazing dog she was. This last weekend she passed way because of cancer, it was very sudden and has rocked our whole family. The grief is more than I ever imagined. Despite the pain I would do it all over again. She brought so much joy to our family and her memories will be with us forever. Thank you for inspiring us to get her in the first place.

Listening for years, this is my favorite podcast. These two amazing women complement each other and tap into an honesty about themselves that is rare. I ENCOURAGE THEM TO TRUST THEIR FIRST INSTINCTS AND STAY STRONG ABOUT WHAT THEY OFFER IN THEIR PODCAST!For example, the whimsical title “more happier” is total fun and if you don’t get it that’s ok. They have truly added happiness to my life in small and deep life changing ways. A big one: dogs. I don’t think I would have followed through years ago in my desire to have dogs “someday” and in myriad small positive ways of framing the mundane that have made me happier. Positivity creates more positivity. Thank you for your podcast. I love it.

Your podcast was recommended to me by a parent as I was starting out as a new elementary school counselor about seven years ago. Since then, I have often listened to Happier well on a run or in the car. Thank you both for sharing your wisdom, humor, and yourselves! The world needs more Good, clean positivity!

I’ve been listening since the beginning and I still love and look forward to every episode. So many great tips and advice for living your best life!

My friends and family are sick of how much I quote this podcast :) I am constantly bringing up their conversations and advice. I’ve been listening for years and listening to Gretchen and Liz is now like listening to friends give out great advice, tips and insights from their day to day life.

I’ve listened since its inception & still really enjoy this podcast! It provides quick, palatable ideas for making the most out of your life! Keep up the great work y’all!

I love this podcast so much but it seems to be getting worse. I love Gretchen, but why is that she can’t let a guest talk for an entire sentence without interrupting or making some weird noise? I had so much anxiety by halfway through. I had to shut it off. This makes me sad.

Practical useful and fun!

I love when you talk about Sarah. I think it is generous of you all to talk about your writing partner, families, dogs, friends, etc. Don’t change anything.

This podcast has seen me and supported me through so many years of my life! A great listen for growth and fun all in one.

Couldn’t love this more. Been listening for years. I go away and come back often. Maybe a bit too much about the “writing partner” Sarah. Keep that to Happier in Hollywood! Takes the focus away from these two!

Hi Gretchen and Elizabeth, I have been listening to your podcast for many years now and I enjoy most of not all. The topics each week are wildly interesting, something I never thought of before. Notice I used the word “wildly” because I just finished listening to the one that you talked about using simply words that creates an impact. Have a wonderful day.

Ok! I get it! Gretchen has a book coming out. I listened to one episode and wanted to tear my hair out

This podcast is hosted by two incredibly intelligent women who lead good discussions about so many aspects of life. Listening to it is such a positive way for me to spend my time. The only thing that drives me absolutely bonkers is how Gretchen interacts with a guest when they are interviewing that guest. The noises she makes as an active listener are really annoying. She says “mmm” and “ahhh” to much. I generally skip over the parts of any episode or Gretchen is interviewing someone. I feel like she either needs to use words like “ok” or “yes” instead of grunts/noises, or maybe just not say anything at all and let the guest continue talking without interruption.

I used to really enjoy this, but I just think it’s run its course. Their ideas now are either unattainable, just impractical, or solely intended to sell their branded products based on the entirely made up 4 tendencies framework. And so many ads!

Not supporting anyone who supports Prince Harry’s dubious wife.

Best listen . Always love my bi weekly dose of happier . Such great advice with very spanle recommendations ….

I’m a big fan and long time listener, but I’m taking a break until the ads supporting Bezos have run their course.

I’m giving this podcast a happiness demerit for their partnership with BetterHelp, a company that has faced lawsuits for unethical practices, including mishandling user data and questionable therapist qualifications. It’s frustrating to see Happier promote a service with such a problematic track record, especially when mental health care should be handled with care and integrity. Please do your research when it comes to sponsors you give glowing reviews about. I seriously doubt Gretchen and Liz would use BetterHelp for their own therapy.

Really appreciate your story about the villagers and the crocodile—timely! Got it.

I’ve been following Gretchen and Liz since the beginning. Their work on this show is thoughtfully produced, marvelously organized, and beautifully delivered. Gretchen: you done good with your latest crocodile parable! Thanks to you both for making myself happier!

I love listening to Gretchen and Liz each week. When I discovered their podcast I quickly fell in love and decided to become a completer. I have tried many of their suggestions and definitely think they have added to my happiness level. I especially love the one minute rule! So easy and yet I had never thought about it.

Gretchen and Elizabeth always hold my interest. I have learned so much about myself and my world—wide range of topics around the hub of happiness. 10 years of happiness from this show!

Liz and Gretchen show up each week with unfailingly great content. This show is like having two more sisters that get you thinking about life, decisions, what works and doesn’t work in your life. If I know I’m going to need a lift I will save an episode to listen to - it always does the trick. Thank you, Liz & Gretchen!

I love this podcast and always look forward to it. Gretchen and Liz are real people trying things out and reporting back. I was inspired to write this review (many years into listening) after hearing Gretchen talk about the pamphlet guide to France. Me too. Better days ahead!

I have been listening to the show for years and I look forward to it every week. I love the helpful information and positive vibes.

I have been listening to this podcast for two years now. I am in the third act first chapter of my life. This podcast having me a starting point to start this next season. The greatest gift came out life in five senses where I chose a color for the year along with a scent. Never in my wildest dreams did I think carrying a yellow lemon around would open me up to embrace the next and most important season of my life. The season where I pull everything together, it’s where I get to decide what kind of lemonade I want to make with my lemons. I would have never seen such a clear picture without the podcast. Love you ladies, your both a gift in a millions way. With lots of love. I am a yellow lemon red sunglasses turtle on the sand woman in midlife living her best life.

I love this podcast by sisters living on opposite coasts who grew up in the Midwest! It’s down to earth and practical and just the right length for a little pick-me-up. The advice is both useful and paradigm-shifting.

I have listened to this podcast from the beginning and love it each week. Whether it is a small tip of something to make my life better or a larger idea, I always walk away feeling happier.

I get so much joy from listening to the tips and tricks from these two ladies. I look forward to it every week and have shared it with a bunch of my friends who also love it. Thank you for all the hard work!

The joy I feel when I see a new episode of this podcast publish!!!! My absolute fave!

Dear Gretchen and Elizabeth. I want to thank you both for your friendship. I have been listening to your show almost six months now and wish I found you sooner. I have enjoyed your insights into everything from your views on our society and your suggestions on books and interesting subjects for research. You are truly a source of comfort and it is so joyful to listen to your library of past episodes throughout my day. Wishing you and your families much heath and happiness. It would be wonderful to see you both on a discussion tour. Your friend, Hariah

There are so many tough things in life, this provides me with so much simple pleasure. I read the Happiness project years ago and absolutely fell in love with Gretchen’s writing and did my own Happiness Project. When I saw the podcast I was interested to extend this excitement and my own personal journey for growth and happiness evolution. Thank you for such a fun, informative way of diving in and helping to figure out what helps us reach our aims and get to know ourselves better.

I always get new ideas and remarkably, they are often ideas for something I’ve been thinking about!

Highly recommend

I love the banter between the sisters - it reminds me of being with my own sister. I always come away with something to think about or tweak in my own life. I look forward to Wednesdays when the episodes air.

I’ve been listening since the beginning and this is a great podcast. It's light hearted, and I really enjoy the banter between Gretchen and Elizabeth. I love the 'try this at home' tips and have been using some of them in my own life. And it's great that it's not full of grandiose plans, but little tweaks that can improve your daily life, and that listeners share their insights on things. My favorite podcast by far.

One of my top podcasts! I look forward to new episode releases every week. It is both informative and enjoyable.

I’ve been listening to Happier for years now and love every episode! I feel like I know Gretchen and Liz—listening is like catching up with friends every week and coming away feeling happy, refreshed and armed with the best ideas!

Such a great structure with smart, compassionate, fun hosts. I don’t miss an episode

Such a great mix of practical and thought provoking. A non-stressful, easy constant in my life for the past few years.

The 24 list of things that please Gretchen made me think she must come to Chicago! Visit the Thorne Miniature room at the Art Institute. It is so pleasing! Miniature doll house sized rooms decorated from different periods of history. They are beautiful! Also the Art Institute is one of the best museums ever. And Gretchen can ride the El trains to get around. The perfect elevated experience of the city life and scenery. Next, plan a trip to Japan. Japan is known for having crazy stuff in vending machines! Check out some youtube videos it is so fascinating. Great episode!

I’ve been listening to Happier for years and find that there is always a nugget to take away. Sometimes it’s something the hosts suggest and other times a listener shares an idea that resonates with me. Either way, it’s nice to listen to a podcast that is actively nudging me upwards in life!

I’ve been listening to this podcast since their first episode. It never fails to put a smile on my face and always gives me something worthwhile to think about.

Great stuff but so many commercial breaks it is hard to stay invested in what they are saying

I so enjoy the Happier podcast with Gretchen and Liz. They have a great way of relating to their listeners that makes us feel like friends! Always some interesting take aways, recommendations and insights. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on adding more joy to everyday life!

I really used to enjoy this podcast, but as time has gone on. These podcasters promote ideas that require a LOT of money. They are blind to the majority of people who can’t go to a museum everyday, or purchase a second home. People have to work! The number, length and choice of sponsors are all awful, but the coup de gras was the change in Gretchen’s intonations. She needs to get a better voice coach. Not every sentence is over the top exciting. Moving on to not waste my time on this podcast which doesn’t make me happier.

I’ve been a regular listener and know that the habits challenges have changed my life. I am a reader and blood forward to the read 25 in 25 challenge!!

Why is a person who is a self proclaimed kill joy, know it all, & perfectionist telling anyone what to do to be happy? Gretchen is telling us to get rid of clutter and reusable bags until she gets paid from Lands End to do their ADS . The election happened so when is your scream sesh? Are you organizing a liberal cry event? Lets us know
