A Little Happier: Do You Agree: Pregnancy and Volcanoes Seem Anachronistic

0:06I'm Gretchen Rubin, and this is A Little Happier.

0:09I like some of Andy Warhol's art, but I love his writing.

0:14He is the most extraordinarily interesting writer and observer of human nature.

0:19I find myself quoting him all the time.

0:23For instance, I often find myself quoting a comment he made in The Philosophy of Andy Warhol, from A to B and back again.

0:31He wrote, when I think about what sort of person I would most like to have on a retainer, I think it would be a boss, a boss who could tell me what to do, because that makes everything easy when you're working.

0:43I find that so true about work, that the hardest part about working is telling yourself what to do.

0:49Once you know what to do, things get much easier.

0:52At times, I wish I had someone around who could just tell me what to do.

0:57Sometimes too, Andy Warhol makes observations that seem odd, eerie, or even nonsensical, but that strike a deep chord with me.
