Today's episode is brought to you by Camp GLP.
It's an amazing opportunity to come hang out with me with our awesome Good Life project team, a lineup of inspiring teachers from art to life to work, and a community of almost impossibly friendly grown up campers from literally all over the world as we take over a beautiful summer camp for three and a half days of workshops and activities that fill your noggin with ideas and strategies for life and create the type of friendships and stories you thought you pretty much left behind decades ago.
It's all happening at the end of August, just about 90 minutes from New York City, and more than half the spots are already gone, so be sure to grab your spot quickly.

Hey, it's Jonathan with this week's Good Life project riff.
Short and sweet, hopefully.
So there's something kind of interesting on my mind this week.
Well, at least interesting to me and hopefully interesting to you.
I do a lot of reading.
I do a ton of research in a lot of different fields, all connected in some way, shape or form to this bigger question.
What does it mean to live a good life?
And I stumbled upon two recent reports that have been out over the last week or so.
One is about the healthiest people in the world, rated by country, and the other was about the happiest people in the world, rated by country.
What was interesting was at the top of the healthiest, and they kind of measured that by those.
Most likely where if you were born today, you're very likely to live into your eighties was Italy, which is interesting because when you look at Italy, it's a country where there's a lot of, there are problems with government, there are problems with the economy, and you would think that that would lead to a lot of stress in life.
They eat a lot of foods that in the US are starting to become labeled pariahs, and yet they are viewed as among the healthiest people in the world and the longest lived people in the world.
And you gotta kind of scratch your head and say, huh?
What's going on here?
At the same time, this other report on the happiest folks in the world came out sitting right at the top were not european and american countries.
It was the nordic countries, basically in the top five.
