57 分钟Average life spent 25,000 days.
And so in that time structure of time being finite and counting down and so rare, I have this feeling that if I'm not conscious about how I'm spending my week, then I quickly lose track of the whole year.
Today's guest, Neil Pesrica, had a really brutal time a couple years back.
He was in the deepest part of a divorce at a pretty young age.
His best friend took his own life to mental illness, to some deep demons and struggles, and he was trying to find a way out.
And he started on a daily basis just posting something that was awesome on a blog that he threw up in ten minutes.
That became a thousand awesome things and gained a massive worldwide audience.
That turned into book series and global speaking career.
And it helped lift him out of a really dark moment in his life.
And he ended up then getting remarried, becoming a dad, and really turning his attention to, okay, what actually is it that makes you happy?
That makes him happy?
And can he identify some interesting patterns that he might be able to share?
And that's ended up in the pages of a new book called the happiness equation.
So I'm really excited to sit down and share some time talking, not really just about the book, but also really going deeper into Neil's journey and what it was like to move through this window in his life that led to a lot of these ideas dropping.
I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.
I'm Jonathan Fields.
This is good life project.
We almost met.
Was it four years ago, five years ago?
Yeah.
