Secrets of Adulthood:  Simple Truths for Our Complex Lives.As her two daughters were growing up, Gretchen Rubin wanted to share her hard-won knowledge and remind herself of everything she’d learned.  As she gathered her “secrets of adulthood,” Gretchen decided to shape them into aphorisms — the literary discipline that demands that a writer convey a large truth in a few words. During this fireside chat interview, Gretchen will share these Secrets of Adulthood from her forthcoming book and uncover how the right aphorism invoked at the right time can change our lives.  With probing questions posed by author and workplace expert Debbie Epstein Henry, Gretchen will reveal profound yet bite-sized insights for conducting our lives with greater satisfaction, clarity, and happiness.  For anyone undergoing a major life transition or for those just encountering everyday dilemmas, Gretchen’s disarming aphorisms will inspire and help us navigate the challenges of every stage of life.

Gretchen Rubin is one of today’s most influential observers of happiness and human nature.  She’s the author of many books, including the blockbuster New York Times bestsellers Outer Order, Inner Calm; The Four Tendencies; Better Than Before; and The Happiness Project.  Gretchen’s books have sold more than 3.5 million copies worldwide, in more than thirty languages.  She hosts the top-ranking, award-winning podcast Happier with Gretchen Rubin, where she explores practical solutions for living a happier life.  Gretchen started her career in law and realized she wanted to be a writer while clerking for Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.  Raised in Kansas City, she lives in New York City with her family.
