Enter to Win a Copy of Gretchen Rubin’s “The Four Tendencies!”

by Katy on October 24, 2017 · 274 comments

Please note that this giveaway has ended. Congratulation to Karen C. and Diane Black!

Like many others, I’m a big fan of Gretchen Rubin and her writing. She hooked me with The Happiness Project, and has continued to draw me in with her subsequent books, Happier at Home and Better Than Before. Plus, she and her sister Elizabeth Craft also host a weekly podcast titled Happier with Gretchen Rubin, so it’s damned near impossible to escape her influence. (Plus, as you can see we’ve had the opportunity to meet in person a number of times.)

To say that Gretchen Rubin is a disciplined and prolific writer would be an massive understatement. Then again, she is an “Upholder.”

What’s an Upholder? An Upholder is a person who naturally and easily meets both outer and inner expectations, and is one of the four tendencies outlined in Rubin’s newest book, The Four Tendencies: The Indispensable Personality Profiles That Reveal How to Make Your Life Better (and Other People’s Lives Better, Too.)

These four tendencies describe a personality framework based solely on whether someone meets or resists outer and inner expectations.

Here’s a graphic for a visual reference:

So for Gretchen to take on such ambitious projects is a natural fit. She’s able to set and reach personal goals and then meet deadlines set by her publisher.

See that bottom circle, the “Rebel?” The one that reads “Resists outer expectation, resists inner expectation.” That’s me. And although “Rebel” sounds all James Dean and sexy, it’s actually a huge pain in the tuchus to be that person. External expectations make me less likely meet my obligations, which is both illogical and personally frustrating. (I also suspect that I was a challenging child to raise.)

However, I think that being a Rebel is closely tied to a richly creative mindset. Because I have zero interest in going through life like everybody else, I’m compelled to reinvent each and every wheel. I don’t let others’ opinions hold me back from what I want, and I’m almost impossible to embarrass. I have a strong sense of self, but I have a terrible time with deadlines and self discipline.

Luckily, this book doesn’t just focus on identifying your individual tendency, but explores motivation and what it means to meet or resist life’s expectations. (Which Rubin clarifies is only a single aspect of what makes us tick.) Rubin also gives very concrete information about how to interact with and understand others’ tendencies, which is important for anyone who’s not currently a hermit.

There’s an online quiz to determine your tendency, although I do have to confess that I’ve only skimmed it.

I could go on and on about this book, but instead I’m going to cut to the good part.

I’m giving away copies of The Four Tendencies to two lucky readers. Just write your name in the comments section below, and I will randomly choose the winners on Sunday, October 29th at 9 P.M. PST. 

Rebelliously yours,

Katy Wolk-Stanley

Actually, Shoshana, I took the little test and am a rebel. You’d have no way to know since you are not me and have no clue how I feel/think so cant answer the questions in regards to if I uphold things for myself. But thanks for trying to tell me who I am

Reply

Roberta October 25, 2017 at 6:08 am

I read Gretchen’s other books, and in introduction to this one. While she may not have an educational background in psych, Gretchen Rubin is an amazing researcher (I know this from my professional background). She is very thorough in using other people’s academic work, and she analyzes it and presents it very well.

I am a questioner, and I have noticed my tendencies a lot since I read the introduction to this book!

I don’t want to be entered but I just want to say how eye opening/wonderful/amazing this book and her theory are!

I picked this book up because I had read her books before but I wasn’t expecting it to EXPLAIN EVERYTHING ABOUT MY LIFE. Literally. Just knowing that I’m not alone and not nuts was amazing. It was like finally getting a medical diagnosis after years of searching, knowing something is “wrong” with you, in societies eyes, but not really knowing why or what to do about it, and it’s been so freeing.

Oh how interesting~! Both the podcast and the book, one can never cultivate enough happiness. Now I’m off to check out the quiz, and the podcast. (I see myself as more of a questioner, but who knows..)

I don’t want to be entered in the contest, not because I’m a Rebel, but because I’ve already read the book – thanks to my local library! Because the quiz also identified you as a Rebel, I’d like to ask if you weren’t put off by a few of Ms. Rubin’s characterizations of us – specifically her assertion that we have difficulties remaining in relationships. I met my husband when I was 13, fell in love with him when I was 19, married him when I was 26, and now we’ve been married for 34 years. You’ve been married for a long time, too, so how did you feel about that statement? I like your take that “being a Rebel is closely tied to a richly creative mindset.” But we really didn’t need Ms. Rubin to tell us that, did we? I don’t know – in the end, I didn’t find the book helpful at all because I identified more with the Obliger and Questioner tendencies; in fact, I scored a 3 for Rebel, 2 for Obliger, and 2 for Questioner. Perhaps it’s a waste of time for me to even figure this out when I’m almost 61 years-old and already entrenched in my ways. Or maybe it’s the rebel in me refusing to be labeled…

I met Gretchen Rubin in Denver a few years ago on one of her book tours. I think she is great as well. I don’t have her new book yet and would love to read it. I’m a Questioner and my name is Meredith.

My brother is a rebel, I’m an obliger, and it TOTALLY never made sense to me why he wouldn’t do stuff when our parents asked him to… until I listened to her podcast!
