Ep. 532: Favorite Words, a Simple Packing Hack, and Managing Obliger-Rebellion at Work

  • Résumé

  • We explore why making a list of your favorite words ("whimsy," "crackle," "latibulate") and using them can boost happiness. We share a simple hack that makes packing easier, and we reflect on a dog-related Secret of Adulthood. We also tackle a listener question about how to manage Obliger-rebellion when facing increased workload after coworker layoffs.
