Spotlight on a Tool

The Happier app has a new feature: It displays your longest streak, which is useful because “don’t-break-the-chain” is an extremely popular habit-boosting tool. App users can log in to find this feature on the home screen. To explore this feature, as well as other features that offer concrete, actionable steps to build a happier life, visit thehappierapp.com.

A Listener Has Been Meaning to Ask You

A listener asks for a description of Elizabeth’s regular Fryman Canyon walking route.

Quotation

“People were gathering around the first [TV] sets that appeared, not because the programs were enthralling, but because the pictures moved. The first time I watched television I felt exactly as if something important had taken an elevator ride up to my head and gotten off and turned on the light in my mind. I knew that I was going to do something in television. It was in my cards. I remember feeling the warm relief of knowing what my future was.” Mary Wells Lawrence, A Big Life (in Advertising) (Amazon, Bookshop)
