In 2018, I interviewed Bryan Falchuk, author of Do a Day: How to Live a Better Life Everyday. What struck me about Bryan was how his lowest-life moment, became his redefining inspiration. Here's what he had to say, "I walked into our room and my wife's in bed, my son's standing there and he's looking at his mother who's dying in front of his eyes and he turns and looks at me and it all smacked me in the face. It's like, 'what are you doing? You're failing her. You're failing him. And I'm feeling 'why do I have to have such a miserable life,' everything's falling apart and somehow I'm still standing and I'm not homeless and I'm not, missing a limb or, some other much more extreme thing. So maybe it's not as bad as I always am so insistent that it is and all that just hit me in that moment."
