Dr. Matthew Peterson is a specialist in pain medicine. In this episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul and Dr. Peterson discuss pain.

There are many options. Pain has a purpose, and as you understand the purpose and mechanism of pain, you can begin to gain control over it. Dr. Paul, as usual, ties this discussion into more general applications for life and happiness. Dr. Peterson is in the process of developing additional resources through his website.

In this episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul welcomes Ruel Haymond. Ruel is a teacher and student of constitutional law at George Wythe University. In a somewhat more-political-than-usual discussion, the proper role of government is the topic of conversation. Especially in this election season, it is important to acknowledge the various threats to our freedom and liberty, the greatest threat being our own ignorance.

The most common lament I hear in my psychology practice is this question.  In this episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul calls together the brain trust of Shaye Larsen (Idea Orbit), and Leslie Householder (The Jackrabbit Factor) to take on this question.  Some powerful take-home ideas are shared, along with a great opportunity to get more personally involved.
