This podcast episode explores Gretchen Rubin's personal journey towards mindfulness and sensory exploration. She emphasizes the importance of paying attention to our surroundings and engaging with our senses to deepen our understanding of the world and ourselves. Rubin discusses the transformative power of sensory engagement, highlighting its ability to foster social connections, self-discovery, and emotional regulation. She challenges traditional notions of value by elevating mundane objects based solely on their color, and introduces the concept of an "audio apothecary" to harness the power of music for mood regulation.
