Want to be happier in 2026? Most of us are chasing happiness whether we admit it or not. I'm breaking down the stoic approach to living a genuinely happy life. These aren't soft motivational ideas. They're practical rules that cut through the noise and get you focused on what actually matters. From managing your emotions like a badge of honor to finding your real purpose, I'm sharing the ancient wisdom that still works today. You'll learn why life isn't too short, how to stop pretending you know what's good or bad, and why being tied to the back of a cart isn't such a terrible thing. Featured Story I'm sitting here telling my wife about this band we love called Hayfire playing New Year's Eve down at North Turn on the beach. She looks at me and asks what time. I say New Year's Eve. She asks again. What time? New Year's Eve, I repeat. She says it again. What time? Midnight, I finally say. Twelve o'clock. And she looks at me like I'm crazy. They could be playing midday, she says. People go out in the middle of the day. She's right, of course. But man, I almost got myself in trouble there. Sometimes the simplest conversations remind you that happiness is in how you handle the little moments. Even the ones where you're clearly not reading the room. Important Points Don't enslave yourself to annoying people or situations. If something's draining your energy, move on from it. Choose reasonable expectations and think them through beforehand. Know what's coming so you're never surprised. Feel your emotions like a Stoic would. They're your power when you control them instead of letting them control you. Memorable Quotes "You are a mind operating in a bag of chemicals that you call a body. Stop pretending you know things are bad." "Life is not too short. Life is very long. It's long enough if you manage your time and use it to your best ability." "We are all dogs tied to the back of a really big cart. You can control your attitude about everything that's going on." Scott's Three-Step Approach Stop pretending you know if things are good or bad. Most of the time, you're just talking to yourself about it anyway. Once you stop judging, find what you're interested in and follow those breadcrumbs to discover your real purpose. After finding your purpose, control what you can control. Focus on your attitude and response to everything happening.

Send us a textJerzy Gregorek and his wife Aniela survived a perilous journey living behind the Iron Curtain in Poland while it was subservient to brutal Soviet Union domination. He describes the darkness of living there in the 1970s and 80s, and how it led to him becoming an alcoholic at age 15. He had a mentor who pretty much dragged him into weightlifting at the time of the rise of Solidarity, the movement that led to the fall of the repressive Communist regime and to the free Poland that exists today despite constant threats from Putin's Russia. Escaping that destructive, alcoholic path shaped his understanding of resilience and personal responsibility. He rebuilt his life — becoming a political exile in the USA, then a four-time world champion weightlifter, and later a mentor, poet, and a student earning his PhD in Humanistic Psychology. His core philosophy — “Hard Choices, Easy Life; Easy Choices, Hard Life” — comes from lived experience and years of guiding people through transformation. Jerzy founded the weightlifting program at UCLA, and Aniela herself is a five-time world weightlifting champion with six world records.What sets Jerzy apart is his ability to integrate physical training, creative expression, and psychological insight into a holistic approach to health and resilience. He emphasizes that emotional intelligence is a crucial element in overcoming life's adversities, and that it can be practiced, cultivated, and mastered. His three books, titled “The Happy Body: Mastering Food, Exercise, and Rest Choices,” are designed to help people embrace this path of strength, wisdom, and balance. The poetry book “The Happy Body: Food For Your Soul” helps with emotional eating. “The Happy Body Virtues: Daily Practices for the Modern Stoic” helps with emotional eating and self-regulation, while “I Got This: The Art of Getting Grit” helps with integrating the stories that contribute to building the skill of living a good life. Listen closely to the wise lessons Jerzy shares here and strongly consider getting deeper into The Happy Body to learn to apply the “Hard Choices, Easy Life; Easy Choices, Hard Life” philosophy to your own life. This might be one New Year's resolution for change that I can heartily endorse.Jerzy Gregorekthehappybody.comjerzygregorek@gmail.comThe Happy Body book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N21PL3DFacebook The Happy BodyYouTube @thehappybodyLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerzy-gregorek-ab87475/Bill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe to the We Are Superman Newsletter!https://mailchi.mp/dab62cfc01f8/newsletter-signupSubscribe to our Substack for my archive of articles of coaching tips developed from my more than three decades of experience, wild and funny stories from my long coaching career, the wit and wisdom of David, and highlights of some of the best WASP episodes from the past that I feel are worthwhile giving another listen.Search either We Are Superman Podcast or @billstahl8

Do you have a Giraffe mindset or a Hippo state of mind? Soren Kierkegaard said that “The door of happiness opens inward.” Dr. Seuss said, “Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.” Wait, did Dr. Seuss really say that? The Cranberries said, "Do you have to let it linger?" We think you do. We also think that Dr. Seuss didn't really say that, but we know who did. So come and Linger with us and bring in the New Year correctly. You'll be Happy you did.By the way we meant to post this Monday but due to some issues, we didn't get it posted in until actual New Years Eve so some of the dates/timeline we mentioned are no longer completely accurate.The song we used for the intro was "Happy Holidays (Beef Wellington Remix)" by Beef Wellington and 2003 Christmas Chill Inc. The ending song was "Make Someone Happy" by Jimmy Durante. We used "Linger" from The Cranberries. We also used "Baby It's Cold Outside" the original from the romantic comedy musical Neptune's Daughter released by MGM in 1949.

Today on Respect Life Radio, Deacon Geoff Bennett is joined by Ann Burns — wife, mother, and founder of The Feminine Project (https://feminineproject.com/), a community dedicated to helping Catholic women cultivate their minds, build authentic sisterhood, and restore the beauty of true femininity at the heart of the home and society. Ann discusses her recent Crisis Magazine article, “Propriety: A Skill to Help Avoid Near Occasions of Sin and Scandal — and to Grow in a Happy Life”. She explores the virtue of propriety, a habit rooted in charity and humility, and how today's “you do you” culture often excuses treating others poorly or justifying sinful tendencies. The loss of propriety, she notes, leads many to speak without reflection, neglecting the pauses that allow charity to guide our words and help us see each person as a beloved son or daughter of God. Deacon Geoff and Ann also reflect on how discernment and reverence can shape the ordinary decisions of daily life. They emphasize the call to witness Christ in all we do and to place Him — rather than personal preference — at the center. Reclaiming the virtue of propriety brings true freedom and teaches us to live well.

Lagom is the Swedish lifestyle philosophy, translating as ‘not too much and not too little, It means to have just the balanced choice between two extremes. In order to know how to balance your life, you need Lagom, as it embraces a balanced, sustainable lifestyle. In order to understand how to  balance your life using Lagom approach, we have  broken up this video into four main categories -  01. Lagom at work. 02. Lagom at home 03. Lagom for health 04. Lagom and nature Lagom, the Swedish word for a lifestyle that encourages balance and mindfulness in everything that you do. Lagom is a thread that ties many parts of Swedish society and culture together, the cornerstone of personal behaviour, design ethos and community. Applying a sense of lagom to our everyday lives – be it in what we eat, what we wear, how we live, how we work – might just be the antidote to our modern, consumption-led world as it embraces a more balanced, sustainable lifestyle that embraces the pleasures of existence rather than those of consumption. Lagom celebrates the idea of “just enough” which is the perfect space between minimalism and living in excess and this particular brand of socialism is partly the reason why Sweden consistently ranks top ten in the happiest countries in the world. 

Marc "Moose" Malusis steps behind the mic for a fiery mid-day session, taking aim at the state of New York sports. He starts by dissecting the Rangers' identity crisis, arguing they have too many "fourth-liners" and questioning if it's time to trade Artemi Panarin while his value is high. Malusis then turns his heat toward the Yankees, labeling them "self-satisfied" and lacking the "Evil Empire" motivation needed to keep pace with the powerhouse Dodgers. On the Mets' side, the Moose doesn't hold back on David Stearns, questioning the negotiation tactics with Edwin Diaz and the refusal to pay Pete Alonso. Between sports takes, Marc shares a hilarious yet harrowing story of his entire family falling ill, emphasizing the "Happy Wife, Happy Life" philosophy as he spent a week cleaning vomit and Lysol-ing his home just to get a "reprieve" at the studio. Finally, he looks at the Giants' coaching search, demanding a proven resume like Mike McCarthy or Mike Tomlin to fix a culture of "nonsense."

Marc "Moose" Malusis is in for BT & Sal and he's taking no prisoners! Moose delivers a blistering critique of Hal Steinbrenner's "passive" leadership, arguing the Yankees have officially surrendered their "Evil Empire" throne to the aggressive Dodgers. He blasts the front office for letting Edwin Diaz slip away and using injuries as a crutch for a fundamentally flawed roster. Over in Queens, Moose torches David Stearns for the Pete Alonso exit to Baltimore, labeling it a "Milwaukee-style downgrade" for a franchise that used to think big. From the Rangers' scoring drought and Chris Drury's mismanagement to the Giannis-to-the-Knicks rumors, Moose covers it all with zero filter. Plus, don't miss Moose's personal "Happy Wife, Happy Life" survival story—cleaning up after a house full of sick kids—and the "jaw-dropping" secret behind his massive weight loss. To wrap it up, betting insider Nick Kostos stops by to draft the definitive Christmas playlist and break down a high-stakes Thursday Night Football clash!

What gets you out of bed in the morning?In this episode, we explore Ikigai — the Japanese concept of living with purpose and balance — inspired by the book Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life by Héctor García (and Francesc Miralles).You'll learn how Ikigai lives at the intersection of what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for — and why true fulfillment comes from balancing all four.Through simple explanations and real-life reflections, this episode will help you think more clearly about your direction, strengths, and purpose — and how to build a life that feels meaningful, not just busy.

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.

Send us a textHappy Thanksgiving! To celebrate the season, we need Fall pumpkins. And a turkey, or at least a cowardly big cat.

It's been said that Strong people stand up for themselves, but stronger people stand up for others. We all need someone who will fight for us. Someone who will stand up for us. When someone sticks up for you it says that you are valuable. It breeds confidenceThis is a perfect theme for Veteran's Day because that's exactly what Veteran's do. and this is what makes our world better, our country better, our lives better.  Our confidence increases and so does our outlook.

Send us a textOkay, so here's the story: When the moon is destroyed in 1994, it ensures that “Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness” isn't just an album, but a way of life. Flashforward 2000 years where recognizable monuments are rusting, “Jaws 9” was a thing, and a group of heroes try to put right what once went wrong. Or, something like that.               Here now is the story of how this super-science show came to Saturday Morning.              Who were the post-apocalyptic creators of this show?               Did “Star Wars” play a role in the creation of this series?               Just what is a lord of light?              All these questions, and more, will be answered in this look at THUNDARR THE BARBARIAN!

How do you live a full life? It might not be about the big milestones you're waiting for—it's actually about the small, daily moments that bring you joy. In this episode, we dive into the idea that life isn't just about those big trips or grand achievements. While those are wonderful, the true secret to a happy life is finding ways to enjoy the everyday journey. Every single day holds opportunities to sprinkle in small moments of fun, laughter, and delight.So many people push through life waiting for the "big event" to make them happy, only to realize that if they weren't enjoying the process, the destination feels empty. The point of life is to enjoy the journey itself—to embrace each day as a chance to infuse a little joy into your routine. In this episode, I challenge you to rethink your daily habits and ask yourself: what small things can you do today to bring a smile to your face? How can you savor the ordinary moments and turn them into something special?Let's explore how to capture those little sparks of inspiration, take small steps that keep your inner flame alive, and infuse your mind with joy before the big things even arrive. Because at the end of the day, life is happening now—minute by minute, second by second. Bring joy into your day, every day, and watch how your life transforms.To ask a question or comment visit www.donnyraus.com.

In this week's episode of Lessons from a Quitter, we wrap up our burnout series with a powerful mindset shift — embracing The Happy Life of Mediocrity. We explore how our constant drive to be the best and to "have it all" often leaves us exhausted, disconnected, and unfulfilled. Instead of chasing perfection, we learn how to find joy and peace in being average, accepting that life is always 50/50. Together, we discover how letting go of unrealistic expectations allows us to slow down, appreciate what we have, and create more happiness in our wonderfully imperfect, ordinary lives.

Have your Holidays ever lost their wonder or joy? Odds are high this is the reason. Listen and share and make your Holidays Happier.One thing that makes the holidays so special is that they bring out the inner child in us, which is why starting the Holiday season with Halloween is so perfect. There's a difference between childlike and childish—kids get it, adults forget it. So, have your put the costumes away yet? Maybe you should hold off on that.The song we used for the intro was "Are You Happy" by Primitive Radio Gods. We also used "Love Is In The House" by TobyMac, "The Sign" by Ace of Bass, as well as commercials from State Farm and Trix cereal. The ending song was "Make Someone Happy" by Jimmy Durante.

President Trump has  met with China's President Xi in South Korea, announcing progress on tariffs, fentanyl, and semiconductors. Former Ambassador to China Nick Burns discusses the meeting, the national security concerns on the table for the United States, and makes one clear distinction: the outcome is not a trade deal. Tech giants have reported their quarterly financials, the Fed has cut rates for the second time this year, and OpenAI might be eyeing an IPO in 2026. Plus, Harvard professor and author of “The Happiness Files” Arthur Brooks discusses the mood of the nation, mental health hangups, and finding fulfillment throughout the joys and suffering of life.  Steve Liesman - 13:20Nick Burns - 21:02Arthur Brooks - 29:55 In this episode:Arthur Brooks, @arthurbrooksSteve Liesman, @steveliesmanBecky Quick, @BeckyQuickAndrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkinKatie Kramer, @Kramer_Katie Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
