Happy Spooky Wednesday, one and all! Summer has started and we've got some stories to put you in the mood for the warmer weather. First up, Kala talks about haunted theme park attractions, and honestly, some of these stories are a total bummer. But the hauntings that follow these tragedies will be giving you "spooky carnival" vibes for sure. From a creepy carousel all the way to a haunted house that caused a park to become actually haunted, we've got it covered. And Brittany talks about Elke Sommer's ghost story. Elke and her husband Joe Hyams were Hollywood elite, and were excited to move into their new Beverly Hills home back in the 1960s. Well...they were excited...until they realized they weren't alone in the house. For four years they were plagued by strange noises, shadow figures, and ghosts that seemed determined to ruin their social lives. And it turns out it wasn't just them! Previous owners had experiences too. If a ghost is bad enough to make you want to deal with buying and selling a house that quickly, it's got to be pretty bad, right?

He talked about the importance of consistency in everything you. He also shared about taking risks and my takeaway from the interview came when he said: “ANY CHANGE IS CHALLENGING”, which inspired me to title this episode: “If it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you”. Stick around for my final thoughts after the interview when I share with you the wisdom of one of my favorite motivational speakers, the late Jim Rohn. I share with you a clip from one of his seminars in the early 80s’ with valuable information for you who are not only interested but committed to accept changes and new challenges.

Today's episode has a full transcript available on the website. Short Summary of Zen in the Martial Arts Zen in the Martial Arts, for all of the impact it has had on several generations of martial artists, is short. It's 140 pages of a small book, and it's not small font. That might make you think that it's incomplete, or otherwise lacking, but that isn't the case. Reviews for the book continue nearly 40 years later, and on the popular book review sites, the poorest rating I could find was 4.1 out of 5. Amazon, which is known for having the most reviews, shows it as 4.6 of 5. There are 28 chapters, each one with a title that seems ripped from a classic kung fu movie – Empty your cup, Active Inactvitiy, Extend Your Ki. The chapters are short, most around 5 or 6 pages, and begin with a relevant photo. Most end with a bit of wisdom, like this one: “Life unfolds on a great sheet called Time, and once finished it is gone forever.” The book discusses some great names from our history, including Ed Parker & Bruce Lee. The chapters tell stories from the author's time training. About the Author of Zen in the Martial Arts Joe Hyams, while beloved by martial artists for the book he wrote, was not best known as a martial artist or martial arts author. He was a writer, sure, but primarily a celebrity writer. During his career, he wrote or co-wrote books on Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Katharine Hepburn, Frank Sinatra and Chuck Norris. He studied martial arts for more than 50 years. Beginning with fencing and then, through an introduction by music composer Bronislau Kaper, met Ed Parker. He became one of Parker's first private students, then soon after, one of his first black belts. He trained privately with Bruce Lee for two years and introduced him to Hollywood. Hyams was a big piece of Bruce Lee's start in films. It's hard to believe that as big of an impact as this book has had, Joe Hyams' contributions to the martial arts community, via Bruce Lee, were so much greater. He died in 2008 at age 85. Why Zen in the Martial Arts is Special Most martial arts books are about martial arts or some metaphysical subject. Often times they're written by people who really know martial arts, but aren't so good at writing. Mr. Hyams was a writer and a skilled one at that. He wrote newspaper columns, books, movie scripts… Clearly a varied and masterful writer. He was also very good at conveying his point simply, something that the very best martial artists seem able to do. This book is 140 pages because Mr. Hyams didn't need more. While it has a tremendous amount of martial arts content, it's not a book exclusively for martial artists. According to Melissa Hyams, his wife at the time he passed in 2008, said the book “isn't really about martial arts. It's about life and philosophy, and how to turn a negative into a positive, how to defuse a situation by the way you handle it. That's what he'll most be remembered for." To illustrate this, I'll read to you one of the shortest chapters, “Anger without Action,” which is just over one page: My History with Zen in the Martial Arts I don't remember when my Mother first picked up the book. I have vague memories of it being a gift, and it was likely a gift to her. She started training in 1985, so I'd guess it was in our home between 1985 and 1987. I would have been between 6 and 8, which seems about right. It was always out. Sometimes on the coffee table, sometimes in the bathroom. It was the first nonchildren's book I read and it's certainly the book I read most. I'd guess I've read it all the way through a dozen times. It was the bits of wisdom that struck me most. I memorized them before I understood most of them, and as I grew up, life and martial arts showed me what these parables meant. “When you seek it, you cannot find it,” “The angry man will defeat himself in battle as well as in life,” and other sayings had a tremendous influence on me. In fact, as I think back on my life and my time in the martial arts, behind my instructors and my Mother, this book was the third most influential element. The copy I have now sits on my bookshelf, unread. Which is ironic and something I plan to change. I think it will end up in the same place in my home that it did when I was a child. Wrapping Up Have you, like many of our guests, read this classic? It's still available in new copies, and it's pretty inexpensive.
