<P>Technology has made many improvements to the world around us. It connects, informs, and entertains us. It can distract and worry us, too, feeding bad habits and negative emotions. So how do we find happiness in the age of technology? How can we create good habits and avoid being sucked under in the sea of information?</P>
<P>Gretchen Rubin has focused her work on this theme. Her books, articles, and podcast are celebrated by people around the world as a guide for living well. Join us for a chat with her on bringing happiness to your life with and without technology.</P>
