Episode 57: Gretchen Rubin and I spoke about her newest book, Life in Five Senses, and specifically about how awareness of the five senses can improve our friendships.
We covered examples such as listening better for what’s being said and not being said, making plans to see new sights with friends, paying attention to where our eyes are focused (not on our phones and Apple watches), hugging friends (a challenge for me!), taste experiments, leaning into nostalgia through discussing memories of smells and tastes, the perfect sense experience of the mixtape, why my husband Bryan is a classic "upholder," (a reference from The Four Tendencies), and so much more.
