Feel Happier by Immersing Yourself in the Senses

Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in your own head, bogged down by devices, to-do lists, and an overscheduled calendar? If you find yourself wanting to get out of your head and feel more connected with the world, you’re not alone.

In this Meetup Live event, bestselling author and award-winning podcaster Gretchen Rubin will share her sensory journey to live a happier, more mindful life. Using the five senses as grounding forces, you’ll learn to feel more in touch with your surroundings and at peace. Gretchen will discuss cutting-edge science, time-tested philosophy, as well as her own experience to harness the power of sight, sounds, scent, touch, and taste. You will leave with insights to heighten your senses and live a fuller, richer life. Stay for the Q&A at the end!

Discover what your neglected sense is with Gretchen’s five-senses quiz. Take the quiz during or prior to the event to be more engaged.
