Hey everyone, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and today we have a special guest who I’ve admired ever since I met him for breakfast in Los Angeles four years ago. I’m still trying to get him to do a Chicken Soup for the Soul book with us, but in the meantime he keeps publishing one bestseller after another, and at the same time serving as the Senior Rabbi of Wilshire Boulevard Temple in Los Angeles, which serves approximately 2700 families at three campuses. Newsweek magazine twice named him one of the ten most influential rabbis in America, but his reach extends way outside his community. His five books explore the transformative nature of suffering and grief, how to live a prosperous life without losing your soul, and in his newest book—twelve essential questions to tell a life story.

And not walking enough, which Laurie Penner corrected. It’s not too late to drop those bad habits and change to good ones. And this is one of the topics we addressed in our latest book about aging dynamically and staying young at heart.

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and today I’m talking about when less is more, in one case when a couple sell everything they own to travel the country, and in another case when a banker decides to chuck that and work as a produce manager at a grocery store where he will be much happier.
