When Gretchen Rubin's eye doctor warned her of the risks of losing her sight, she never expected this unexpected twist in her life--an awakening that allowed her to experience the world with heightened clarity and joy. Little did she know that this moment of awareness would lead her on a journey to uncover the power of her senses and a newfound connection with the world. We discuss Rubin's brand-new book Life in Five Senses: How Exploring the Senses Got Me Out of My Head and Into the World.

Have you ever heard the myths that engaging the five senses intentionally can't bring joy and that it’s too hard to be mindful when engaging the senses? Or that sensory mindfulness is just for those seeking relaxation? Gretchen Rubin is about to show you the truth about rediscovering joy through engaging the five senses intentionally.
