  • Little Happier: When One Proverb Sparks Dozens: the Inspiration of “No Receiver, No Thief”

    Little Happier: When One Proverb Sparks Dozens: the Inspiration of “No Receiver, No Thief”
    Apr 14 2025

    While writing my book "Secrets of Adulthood," I discovered how the structure of a single traditional proverb could spark dozens of new insights. The elegant formula "No X, no Y" began with the traditional wisdom "No receiver, no thief," but soon expanded into observations ranging from the paradoxical ("No expectations, no disappointment") to the historical ("No Plato, No Socrates ") to the practical ("More highways, more traffic").

The anecdotes are my fav part

I really like the dynamic of sisters sharing their life - but that it’s not only about being a mom raising a family - they also share stories from their parents, visiting them…and the career / adulting stories - plus sprinkled in parenting hacks. I just like the concept of a happier life overall (not just momming or career etc). Plus hearing about their creative career journeys has been fun too. I guess what I’m t trying to say - the anecdotes are my favorite part! :)

My favorite podcast each week!

I am a huge fan of the little happiness bursts and general life advice I get from Gretchen and Elizabeth! I've been listening for several years on another platform and it's my go-to Wednesday morning listen. I can honestly say it has changed my life for the better, week-by-week. From annual goals (e.g "21 for 2021") and habit-forming to understanding the tendencies of people around me and little life hacks, this is an amazing resource!
