Motivation, Happiness and Habits Guest: Gretchen Rubin, bestselling author of “The Happiness Project,” “The Four Tendencies” and “Outer Order, Inner Calm” (out March 2019) It’s always right about this time, for me, when the honeymoon glow of a new year starts to rub off. January 1st feels like a clean slate, full of possibility. Maybe you make some resolutions? For me it’s more of a hopeful excitement that this year will be different. And then, January 2nd is like any other day and soon I’ve forgotten what it felt like to be flush with resolve new habits and big plans. So today, we have an expert on following through. A Sonic Field Guide to Classical Music, Day by Day Guest: Clemency Burton-Hill, Creative Director, Music & Arts, New York Public Radio, author of “Year of Wonder” A living, breathing, diverse, vibrant and global art form.
