47 分钟So imagine stepping out of your day to day life and just dropping yourself into a gorgeous 130 acre natural playground for three and a half days of learning and laughing and moving your body and calming your brain and reconnecting with people who just see the world the way that you do and accept you completely as you are.
So that's what we've created with our camp good life project, or camp GLP experience.
We've actually brought together a lineup of really inspiring teachers, from art to entrepreneurship, from writing to meditation, pretty much everything in between.
It's this beautiful way to fill your noggin with ideas to live and work better, and a really rare opportunity to create the type of friendships and stories you pretty much thought you'd left behind decades ago.
It's all happening at the end of August, just about 90 minutes from New York City, and we're well on our way to selling out spots at this point.
So be sure to grab your spot as soon as you can.

Today's guest, David Linden, is a Johns Hopkins neuroscientist, New York Times bestselling author, and has written a book called touch the science of hand, heart and mind, which I'm fascinated by.
I am somebody who, when I took the love languages test, you know, physical touch is my sort of major love language.
And there's just this fascinating exploration of how touch affects us, how everything from love to caresses to sex to scratching and itching to basically anything that we touch or get touched by profoundly influences our personality, our perception of people and the world.
And depending on how old or young we are, when we either have touch or have it withheld from us, can literally shape the entirety of our beings, our neurology and our psychology, and our ability to actually live functional, good lives.
Really excited to share this in depth conversation with you.
I'm Jonathan Fields and this is good life project.
Really excited to actually have this conversation with you, spend some time with your work.
And it's kind of funny for me because, you know, at a sort of completely pop psychology and consumer level, you know, I at some point took my love language test and found out that my primary love language was physical touch.
And I'm somebody who's always been very tactically oriented so it's kind of fun to have a conversation where we get to go a little bit deeper into that.
Absolutely.
Let's leap in.
Yeah.
