One book that's had a profound impact on my life is "The Untethered Soul" by Michael Singer. This podcast is about the big ideas in that book, starting with the most important one: that you are not the voice of your mind; you are the one who hears it. These ideas can change your life, if you let them in.

When we need to talk to someone about something that really matters -- whether it's something deeply personal with a loved one or a business transaction with a stranger -- we struggle sometimes to find the right words to have the desired effect. Chris Voss, the FBI's former Lead International Hostage Negotiator, has decades of practice having hard conversations. Here's what we can learn from him.

All of us—no matter where we are in life—question whether we’re on the right path. It’s something all human beings do. We ask ourselves whether there’s *something else* that we should be doing instead of what we’re doing now. But are we better off if we pick one thing and stick with it? Conventional wisdom from the past says yes. This video will help you decide what's right for you.

Most of us already know that simple gratitude exercises have been proven to make people MUCH happier. And it's no secret that living with gratitude leads to greater success of every kind (including wealth). But we have trouble getting ourselves to feel grateful on a consistent basis, especially when life is challenging. Why is it so hard? And what can we do to overcome the resistance?

One of the best-selling books of all time, "The Secret", tells us that we can use the power of our minds to make *anything* real in our lives. A century ago, another best-selling book, "Think and Grow Rich", delivered exactly the same message. Both books were about The Law of Attraction. A lot of highly successful people (like Oprah and Jim Carrey) live by The Law of Attraction. 

A lot of others say it's pure BS. Who's right? 

I break The Law of Attraction down into 5 simple ideas that are based entirely on science and common sense. 

I guarantee that these 12 minutes will make even the greatest skeptic a believer!!
