April arrives with 3 feet of new snow in Lake Tahoe, making it feel more like January than spring. PowBot recaps his best tour of the year at Lassen National Park while Trail Whisperer breaks his snowmobile. The boys give some listener shout outs and play some 888 COR LORD call-ins, diving deeper into whether or not solo backcountry skiing is dope or derp and if a van is better suited for adventures than a pickup with 4 Wheel Camper. They also discuss the show's intro and outro songs and where all the sound bites came from, decide which of the five senses are most important to them, chat about corner crossing over private land and the controversial reintroduction of the gray wolf into northern California. The show ends with a song called RNO by Trail Whisperer's old band, Man Downstream, paying tribute to the Biggest Little City in the World. 3:00 – Spring is here and it's still winter! Sinter.

In this episode, I'm gonna be discussing how when it comes to your decision-making, choices, behavior, and actions all stem from the information that your five cents is presented to you. A lot of people don't understand about opening Pandora's box, and going down the rabbit hole that is of Alice in Wonderland. But these things happen every day. A lot of people are always following other people down situations that end up turning out negatively and impacting not only themselves, but other people as well. I understand understanding why we are following other people down paths that have absolutely nothing to do with any of us at all? And talking about the story of co gave a box to. And when she opened the box, everything that was evil came out of the box. And the only thing that was left wasHope. But when it comes to your box, what is inside of the box? So what do you plan to do once you open Pandora's box can you find within it? Did you try to see and use was in the box, or do you close the box and leave it where it is?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/you-are-what-you-consume-podcast--5314327/support.

Much of our consumer experience in the 21st century is antiseptic and impersonal. Visiting Jerusalem's open air market at Mahane Yehuda is a chance to engage all of our senses, to get out and about, and see a slice of Jerusalem as it lives and breathes in all of its colors, flavors, and tastes. In this episode, we will visit the streets and alleys of Mahane Yehuda – a bit of history, a bit of culinary, and a bit of the human mosaic that makes Mahane Yehuda an exciting classroom for understanding Israeli society.

Today I am chatting with one of my absolute favorite writers, the one and only Gretchen Rubin, about her forthcoming book Secrets of Adulthood: Simple Truths for Our Complex Lives, which comes out April 1. Gretchen writes here about the lessons she's learned to making life more meaningful and satisfying, covering areas as wide ranging as self-improvement, adventure, the challenge of love, friendship, work, creativity, procrastination, tough decisions, pain, desire, getting it wrong, and consequences. The book teaches us, or reteaches us, about aphorisms, which Gretchen explains in today's episode; we also talk about happiness, which is one of Gretchen's chief topics she writes about, and she writes in the book that as to there being a so-called “secret to happiness” that “there's no one best way—we each have to figure it out for ourselves.” In addition to happiness, much of Gretchen's work centers around human nature and habits; we talk about her latest book but also some of her past work, too, as well as her #Read25in25 challenge, which I love. In addition to being a prolific writer, Gretchen is also an avid reader, and I hope by now she's read the book I recommended to her on the show. You are probably already deeply familiar with her work—she's written New York Times bestsellers like The Happiness Project, The Four Tendencies, Better Than Before, Outer Order Inner Calm, and Life in Five Senses, for starters—and she's also a podcaster, hosting the top-ranked and award-winning “Happier with Gretchen Rubin.” Gretchen is one of the most forefront thought leaders out there today, and her books have sold a whopping 3.5 million copies worldwide and have been translated to more than 30 languages. Interestingly, Gretchen started her career in law, and realized she wanted to be a writer while she was clerking for none other than Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. I can't wait for you to hear what Gretchen has to say.Secrets of Adulthood: Simple Truths for Our Complex Lives by Gretchen Rubin

October 10th is World Mental Health Day, and to mark the event, Yale professor Dr Laurie Santos of the Happiness Lab podcast has assembled the “Titans of Happiness”: a crew of hosts and happiness experts from the top wellness podcasts. I was thrilled to join this panel with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a clinical psychologist and host of the podcast Therapy for Black Girls, Dan Harris, host and author of the 10% Happier podcast, and Laurie Santos--and all of us were a little starstruck by another extra special guest… ELMO! We talk hacks for building relationships with others, Elmo's viral moment, and self compassion. Here's part 1.

October 10th is World Mental Health Day - and to mark the event, Yale professor Dr Laurie Santos of The Happiness Lab podcast has assembled a crew of fellow hosts from the top wellness shows, a group we're calling The Titans of Happiness. Dr Joy Harden Bradford is a clinical psychologist and host of the podcast Therapy for Black Girls.Gretchen Rubin is the OG of wellbeing experts. She's written many best-selling happiness books - most recently Life in Five Senses and hosts Happier with Gretchen Rubin. Dan Harris was a TV news anchor who - after having a panic attack live on air - promoted mindfulness meditation practices on his hit show 10% Happier. And since she wanted this to be an extra special episode, Dr Laurie invited one extra, extra special guest, Sesame Street's Elmo. Elmo's only three and half, so Samantha Maltin (Chief Branding and Marketing Officer at Sesame Workshop) came along with him.
