Melissa Dougherty joins the show to speak about her book, "Happy Lies." It is such a fascinating discussion that we had to make this 2 episodes!

It will also explain the differences between these ideas and Christianity. The most surprising aspect of this is finding out the source of these ideas, which is a movement called New Thought.
