One of my pet peeves is to hear people call themselves stupid when they make a mistake. So many people feel stupid for a variety of reasons but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are. If you feel that you are not as smart as the next person, please know that you are intelligent in something that the next person may not be. If you want to rapidly increase your intelligence quotient and get smart pretty quick, I have some ideas for you.

Happiness in one way or another is the focus of every living creature. We all want to be happy. However, is happiness worth pursuing? It depends on who you ask. Some would argue that you should cannot achieve happiness by pursuing it directly. In today's episode we explore the definitions of happiness and outline some ways to become a happier person. We also introduce a completely new Q & A section where we answer questions from our online audience on virtually any self-development topic. This week we answer a question from an anonymous viewer: "What are some useful tips for students starting their first semester in College?" I answer this question from the perspective of a non-traditional student/Adult Learner.

If there is one thing that needs to be improved upon now a days its communication. We communicate in all sorts of ways, yet people rarely feel the need to improve upon it. I would say, at best we have found ways to do more of it, but more of it does not mean that the communication is always healthy. We somehow have managed to do more of communicating badly in some instances. This episode we talk about how communication happens; the value and liability of communication in relationships; and techniques for better communication in relationships. We end the podcast with some self reflection exercises that can be downloaded through our "Become a Member link" on our website or show notes.
