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.
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 there, it's Jonathan with this week's Good Life project riff.
So I've been spending some time recently actually rereading a book called the prophet by Khalil Gibran.
And if you've never read it, I really strongly recommend that you steal away sometime.
Grab a copy of it.
It's super short.
I'm a really slow reader, and literally it takes me about an hour to go end to end.
I've read it a number of times, and I was feeling the call to dip back into it.
It's really beautiful.
It's sort of one very long poem, and it tells this story of a man who has arrived in a town and spent his time there kind of working and being, and after some dozen years, his ship finally is being seen coming into the harbor to pick him up, and he's about to leave the town.
The town has come to see him as a prophet, thus the name of the book, and a teacher and somebody who's wise.
And as he moves through the town towards the ship, a crowd, the townspeople, gather around him, and they all ask questions.
They want final bits of knowledge before he leaves.
And so they go topic by topic, and they say, and tell us about this, and tell us about that.
And as I was reading, I got to the point where and the priestess spoke again and said, speak to us of reason and passion.
And I thought that was a really interesting topic to explore because reason and passion are things that we seem to be deeply immersed in these days on so many different levels.
