À propos de cet audio
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Project discovers a surprising path to a life of more energy, creativity, luck, and love: by tuning in to the five senses.
“An inspiring and practical guide to living in the moment.”—Susan Cain, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Bittersweet and Quiet
For more than a decade, Gretchen Rubin had been studying happiness and human nature. Then, one day, a visit to her eye doctor made her realize that she’d been overlooking a key element of happiness: her five senses. She’d spent so much time stuck in her head that she’d allowed the vital sensations of life to slip away, unnoticed. This epiphany lifted her from a state of foggy preoccupation into a world rediscovered by seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching.
In this journey of self-experimentation, Rubin explores the mysteries and joys of the five senses as a path to a happier, more mindful life. Drawing on cutting-edge science, philosophy, literature, and her own efforts to practice what she learns, she investigates the profound power of tuning in to the physical world.
From the simple pleasures of appreciating the magic of ketchup and adding favorite songs to a playlist, to more adventurous efforts like creating a daily ritual of visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art and attending Flavor University, Rubin show us how to experience each day with depth, delight, and connection. In the rush of daily life, she finds, our five senses offer us an immediate, sustainable way to cheer up, calm down, and engage the world around us—as well as a way to glimpse the soul and touch the transcendent.
Life in Five Senses is an absorbing, layered story of discovery filled with profound insights and practical suggestions about how to heighten our senses and use our powers of perception to live fuller, richer lives—and, ultimately, how to move through the world with more vitality and love.

“Right now, what the world needs most is people who have come to their senses—who have reunited with the power and wisdom of their bodies. Gretchen Rubin’s Life in Five Senses—woven with research, practice, and a compelling story—invites us into the seismic shift toward a life grounded in sensation, vitality, and innate intelligence.” —Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed and founder of Together Rising
“Life in Five Senses is a great opportunity to spend time in Gretchen Rubin’s inimitable company. But it’s also an inspiring and practical guide to living in the moment. Many books have tried to teach us the power of the present. But Rubin creates her own tools and forges her own path—one that readers will surely want to follow.” —Susan Cain, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Bittersweet and Quiet
“Gretchen Rubin always helps us notice the seemingly small but vitally important aspects of life that make us happier. In this fascinating exploration of our five senses, she shows us how paying closer attention to our daily experience of the exterior world can shift our interior worlds in remarkable ways. . . . A delightful treat, in every sense (pun intended)!” —Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone

A lovely reminder to stop and smell the roses
While this book could be classified in the more frivolous side of self-help/memoir, I love how it prompted me to think more about my senses and how I can better appreciate the act of using them. As someone with ADHD I spend a lot of time in my head and not nearly enough noticing the little things that give me joy. I hope to replicate some of Gretchen’s insights and seek more ways to enjoy the sights, sounds, tastes, smells and touch of the world around me.

About 1/3rd too long
I enjoyed the book but it could have been trimmed down by a 3rd and would not have suffered in my opinion. A lot of “I said this to my friend then they asked why and then I said because…” felt burdensome without adding to the story. I understand why some authors prefer to narrate their books, but the author in this case wasn’t as smooth as a professional narrator and at times the reading felt clunky.

A must listen for those who are curious
Her voice makes her story come alive. I love her personal accounts in the stories she shares. I like the science based research she also uses. I enjoyed this a lot and learned a lot. I have used the information in my yoga classes and poetry classes.

A light read for a lazy summer weekend! A few interesting facts but nothing ground breaking!
