This week's episode is a special one because I invited my sister into the “studio” (aka my closet) while she was in town for my book launch. We hit record and talk about what it's like living far apart, her life as a twin mom, the impact of therapy, our Chick-fil-A orders, and how we navigate not always agreeing on politics while still learning from and respecting each other. It's honest, funny, and a little emotional in the best way. I also share a bit about Tiny Tweaks, Happy Life, which just released and is officially out in the world. If you love this podcast, the book is like sitting down for a longer chat with me, full of encouragement and simple, practical ways to create more balance, clarity, and purpose without overhauling your life. If you're in the mood to laugh, maybe tear up, and enjoy a real sister conversation, this episode is for you. Mentioned in This Episode:

“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving them” - Henry David Thoreau. So, what kind of a person would you like to become this year? Many rely on New Year's resolutions to help get them there. Unfortunately, resolutions don't work for a lot of people; search online and find out for yourself. The statistics are staggering. When our resolution attempts fail, we tend to stay the same person year after year. The good news is, WE HAVE A SOLUTION, UP YOUR RESOLUTIONS. Say "so long" to New Year's Resolutions and Upgrade them instead. So up your resolutions and become the person you desire to be this year.Here are some past episodes that go into more detail on how to create a New Years Theme. Enjoy and become the person you want to be.3P's In A Pod https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/happylife/episodes/2025-01-13T05_00_00-08_00MLK & HLS https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/happylife/episodes/2024-01-15T05_00_00-08_00 Better Than A Resolution https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/happylife/episodes/2025-01-06T05_00_00-08_00Toothbrush https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/happylife/episodes/2025-01-27T05_00_00-08_00We would like to thank James Kocian, for the use of his songs "Another Perfect Day", "Head Boppin", "Light As A Feather" and "TEDish".

Happiness is good for your health. That's the argument of Dr Rangan Chatterjee, one of the most influential doctors in the UK and host of Europe's biggest health podcast Feel Better, Live More. Throughout his career, Dr Chatterjee has seen first-hand how motivation isn't always enough for us to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It's his view that it is only when we learn how to support our own mental well-being and cultivate core happiness that these choices become easy. In January 2026, Dr Chatterjee came to Intelligence Squared alongside writer Oliver Burkeman to share cutting-edge insights into the science of happiness and to reveal the simple ways to put you back in control of your health. Dr Chatterjee drew from the new and updated edition of his book Happy Mind, Happy Life to reveal real-life case studies and over 20 practical exercises, including lessons on how to: * Treat yourself with respect * Improve your relationship with your phone * Deal with criticism --- If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

It's tempting (for me at least) to approach the Catholic faith in a debatey mindset, where I'm looking to be right and to find back-up for my points.

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. Chapters 0:03 - The universal goal we all share (but don't admit) 0:43 - My New Year's Eve band mistake with my wife 1:03 - Ancient stoic wisdom for modern happiness 3:08 - Stop pretending you know what's good or bad 4:31 - Why I get angry and still control my emotions Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify Email: support@motivationtomove.com Main Website: https://motivationtomove.com YouTube: https://youtube.com/dailyboostpodcast Instagram: https://instagram.com/heyscottsmith Facebook Page: https://facebook.com/motivationtomove Facebook Group: https://dailyboostpodcast.com/facebook Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

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.

Welcome to Episode #262This weeks topic: why saying NO can help  - heal your mental health

This Holiday season we have been tapping into two main things to make our Holidays Happier. Thanksgiving (the Holiday as well as the mentality) and our inner child. The last several episodes we have been focusing on the Thanksgiving side. So this episode we will be getting back to our inner child as we talk about that Holiday classic, and one of my favorites, The Little Drummer Boy. We will also be talking about my favorite Drummer Boys as well. Listen and share, and bring out the inner child in yourself as well as someone else. Merry Christmas and Happier Holidays!Here is the link for the Phil Collins film created by Drumeo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdGmydR715QThe song we used for the intro was "Happy Holidays (Beef Wellington Remix)" by Beef Wellington and 2003 Christmas Chill Inc.

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.
