This past week I watched a National Geographic documentary about the story of 12 young boys and their football coach who were trapped in a cave in Thailand from the fast rising waters of the monsoons. I loved the documentary but was almost thrown off the couch by a question that was posed to a few of the rescuers. (As a behavioral researcher I LOVE insightful questions!) Their answers had me thinking this whole week and I hope to get you thinking as well.

I also discuss an 80 year old study that provides simple, but profound insight into increasing your longevity, reducing the aging of your brain, and creating happiness and meaning in your life.

This is an inspirational podcast with profound research to back it up. Enjoy!
