“Better Than Before” by Gretchen Rubin explores how we can build and maintain good habits to improve our lives. Rubin identifies four personality types—Upholders, Questioners, Obligers, and Rebels—to explain how different people respond to expectations. She then offers strategies for habit formation, such as monitoring, scheduling, and accountability. The book emphasizes that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution; understanding yourself is key to finding the methods that work best for you. With practical tips and relatable examples, Rubin helps readers make lasting changes to become “better than before.”
