You have one job in life. ONE. So why is life so overwhelming?
Well, there is a way to stop that. You need to decide to stop being overwhelmed. Easier said than done, I know - especially as a professional Overwhelmy McOverwhelmerton.
Look, I’m in this with you. Right now. And I’ve really been working on it and have learned something key I want to share with you. So, today, you will find out that one job you have in life.
Our goal? To make you feel whelmed. Well, you don’t want to be underwhelmed! You definitely don’t want to be overwhelmed. So let’s work at being just … whelmed. And maybe next episode we’ll work on my vocabulary.

Don’t think. If you’re hesitating to text - text. If you’re hesitating to call - call. If you’re hesitating to take that leap of faith - leap.
Nope. That’s not how to trick yourself into succeeding - (for the science-based explanation to that, simply listen to this episode). That’s just how all of those wildly, wealthy people, who are successful by whatever stereotypical standards of success we measure become successful.
Successful people have one stand-out commonality: they act. They do it. They do not bend over backwards for others to please them. They please their desires. They turn their desire into action.
What’s more, it’s not about how well they do something. They simply do it. You don’t need skill. You need action.
So, while today you will learn the science behind success (and failure), you will also learn a personal story of mine - because I’m going through all of this with you …

A CONVERSATION WITH HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR PINCHAS GUTTER
HE SURVIVED 6 NAZI CONCENTRATION CAMPS AND USES HIS PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY TO RELIVE HIS TRAUMA, IN HOPES OF PREVENTING HATE AND GENOCIDE
A CONVERSATION WITH HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR PINCHAS GUTTER
HE SURVIVED 6 NAZI CONCENTRATION CAMPS AND USES HIS PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY TO RELIVE HIS TRAUMA, IN HOPES OF PREVENTING HATE AND GENOCIDE
On this International Holocaust Remembrance Day, I wish you joy. But how can I begin this day by wishing JOY?
Because I can begin this day.
Because my grandparents survived the Holocaust - without which I wouldn't be here.
Because my grandparents survived the Holocaust by finding any bits of joy they could to keep going.
Yes, my grandmother and grandfather were Holocaust survivors. But I still lost them to it. Their minds were casualties well after their bodies continued. Then, as a very young child, each of them passed within months of each other.
I never had the chance to speak to them about it, so I’ve been on a quest to speak to as many survivors as possible. Especially now that so few remain.
But imagine being able to share your experience - vividly - with your photographic memory.
Today, you’ll meet a survivor who can: Pinchas Gutter - a Holocaust survivor of 6 concentration camps.
What grips my heart even more is how Pinchas chooses to continuously relive his trauma - including in a virtual reality exhibit, where he entered the very gas chamber in which his twin sister and parents were barbarically taken. Why? He tells me he does this in hopes that it will help stop the spread of hate and prevent horrors for others.
It is a privilege to have Pinchas share his story with us … What’s more, he shares the secret of his survival. Hopefully, it will help you, too.

Whether or not you battle depression, this super quick episode will be the most important thing you hear today.
You’re about to discover the 6 Truths About Depression that people don’t talk about. And one of them proves how depression is a sign of strength.
I have never seen this many people struggling this much. And I’m afraid. Afraid because I’ve lost too many people - and afraid because I don’t want to lose anymore. Not even a stranger.
So what you’re about to hear is coming at you from the observation, from experience, and straight from the heart …
P.S. This video is separate from the episode - but I thought, why not give you TWO of the most important things you'll hear today.

YOU ARE NOT DISORDERED: A LIFE-CHANGING CONVERSATION WITH DR. JESSICA TAYLOR

YOU ARE NOT DISORDERED: A LIFE-CHANGING CONVERSATION WITH DR. JESSICA TAYLOR
Trauma needs to be validated and seen for what it is - without having a mental illness diagnosis attached to it.
This video preview barely scrapes the surface of episode 31.
You are not disordered. According to Dr. Jessica Taylor, you are likely one of the millions of people have have been abused and traumatized only to be diagnosed as mentally disordered. But, Dr. Jess says, these so-called disorders? They are actually completely normal reactions to the disordered situations you’ve had to endure.
Dr. Jess is a chartered psychologist with a PhD in forensic psychology - and she is turning the idea of mental illness on its head.
As she’ll explain, trauma needs to be validated and seen for what it is - without having a mental illness diagnosis attached to it.
So get ready, because everything you've been told about mental illness is about be blown up.
And just wait ‘til you hear what she says about medicating “so-called” disorders.
Oh - and if you're into attachment theory, she turns that on its head too.
Dr. Jess has helped thousands of people through her work and as director of VictimFocus. But more than that, she is proof of the power of one.
If you’re not in the United Kingdom, maybe you haven’t heard of her - yet. But the world will … soon.
And just wait til you find out how the adversity she’s overcome, including the visceral hate - from thousands, which actually ignited her career.
And now the bestselling author behind “Sexy But Psycho” and “Why Women Are Blamed For Everything” is also part of shows on Discovery and Netflix. But it’s her mission that will hopefully change yours - and the way you see yourself and others.

Why are we hoarding kindness? Especially when kindness brings you luck. Yes, there’s a science to kindness - and very small acts of it can bring you luck. And today, I will prove this to you.
You see, luck doesn’t come from manifestation, it comes from appreciation and gratitude … to others.
While this may seem like a rudimentary lesson, think about how much you don’t think about giving away your kindness.
You know that sweet-as-pie cashier at the grocery store who always greets you with a smile - did you give them a commendation? You know that customer service worker who went out of their way to give you a better experience - did you give them a commendation? Well, that’s a process, and you don’t have time. Okay …
Well, what about that video you watched online that made you laugh or made you think or made you feel something at a time when it’s been hard to feel - did you give that person a commendation with a like? A like that takes less than a nanosecond to give.
So here’s the plan for this episode: I will share a real-life, real-time, successful experiment I did on kindness. A decade-long experiment. But I won’t just tell you about this, you will get to re-live a piece of it (calm down - not all 10 years) and experience it with me.

HOW TO FIND JOY, HOPE, AND POSITIVITY IN DARKNESS WITH GURDEEP PANDHER

HOW TO FIND JOY, HOPE, AND POSITIVITY IN DARKNESS WITH GURDEEP PANDHER
(THE MOST JOYFUL PERSON ON THE PLANET)
If you want to transform your life, science proves the most effective way is to change your environment. And you're about to get a whole new perspective on this.
You are about to meet the most joyful person on the planet. He will help you find joy, hope, and positivity in darkness and in loneliness. And, yes, there is a science behind joy and its healing properties.
So … He lives near the North Pole. He’s always jolly. And, no, he’s not Santa Claus. But like Santa, he brings joy to many people around the world. In fact, he’s known for it.
If you’re one of the millions of people who have watched his videos, you’ve seen this joy-drop of a human dancing Bhangra … in the Yukon wilderness … in Northern Canada … on the other side of the world from where he grew up - a small Punjabi farming village.
His name is Gurdeep Pandher. And he made a decision on March 11, 2020 - a decision that changed his life - and the lives of strangers around the globe.
Millions and millions - and, well, tens of millions of video views later, he’s on a mission to heal the world with the power - and magic - of dance.
But more than that, Gurdeep is healing wounds of division and bringing people from different communities, cultures, and backgrounds together.
Look, you need more joy. I need more joy. We all need more joy.
Joy isn’t just some flippant, fleeting thing. Joy is essential to your well-being. And that’s not from the Dahlia National Research Institute of Dahlia Research. That’s science.
Studies show that joyful people have less chance of having a heart attack, maintain healthier blood pressure, and tend to have lower cholesterol levels. And research proves joy boosts your immune system, fights stress and pain, promotes healing, and improves your chance of living a longer life.

UNDERSTANDING NARCISSISM WITH THE HELP OF A WORLD-LEADING EXPERT
Dr. W. Keith Campbell shares the science behind narcissism to help you spot it, deal with it, and heal from it.
Narcissism. One of the hottest buzzwords over the past couple of decades. And since so many people are talking about it, I thought why not get one of the world’s leading experts on the topic to help you understand it better: Dr. W. Keith Campbell.
I’ve heard from countless individuals who have been hurt by a narcissist - whether a family member, a partner, a friend, a boss .... I’ve been hurt by one too. You’ll often hear people toss the word around so readily. But today, we explore the real science behind narcissism, with a psychologist who literally wrote the book on it.
Plus, hear him weigh in on a viral video - watched by millions - in which I ask Dr. Gabor Maté, “How can you have two people raised by the same parents, in the same way … one becomes a narcissist, one doesn’t?”Dr. Campbell is a social psychologist and the author of several books on the topic - including The New Science of Narcissism - and The Narcissism Epidemic. He’s also a professor of psychology at the University of Georgia.
Oh! And if you like personality assessment tests, he gives you an excellent one. (Of course, it’s science-backed.)

TOP 10 THINGS YOU NEED - BASED ON THE TOP-5 REGRETS PEOPLE HAVE BEFORE THEY DIE
And of these 10 things you really need, none of them is more stuff ...
So it’s your last day on Planet Earth, and I introduce you to the person whom you’ve always wanted to meet. You.
Well, the person you would have become had you done all of those things that you always wanted to do. But didn’t…
What a pang in the stomach, right. What does this tell you?
You’re not stressed about all of those things you have to do. You’re stressed out about all of those things that you haven’t done. That you still haven’t done. That you have yet to do.
You don’t need another gadget, another shirt, or another 56-cyber-deals-you-have-to-order-right-now because they’re life-changing products. What you really need are goals. What you really need is purpose. What you really need, you’re about to get …
So, today you’ll learn the 10 things you really need in life - based on the top-5 regrets people shared before they died.
This will come with science-backed evidence - but most importantly, it will come from my heart. Because I had that moment where I almost died, (which I shared with you in Episode 1). And those top regrets flashed through my mind too and have changed my life for the better.

In Episode 24 you'll learn the 6 things you need to know to overcome procrastination - from science-backed research - and from my confessions. Also - procrastination? It's not at all what you think it is or think it's about.
If you have ever felt as if you’re stuck in a cycle of overthinking and procrastination, and no matter what you do you just can’t break free? Watch all of that change today.
There’s actually a science to a why you procrastinate, which also means there’s a science to help you stop that procrastination. So today we get to the 6 things you need to know to help you stop - or go, as it were.
And as someone who has been stuck in that stall (stories to come this episode) - I can tell you, this works. It’s remarkable how these small fixes (one of them incredibly small) can change your life in big ways.
It’s funny, everyone seems to think procrastination is about time mismanagement. It’s not; it’s about a mismanagement of your emotions. And it’s not just you.
Research from Harvard Business Law shows at least 95% of people procrastinate. The other *5% are simply procrastinating on the confession.
(*That 5% stat is from The Dahlia National Research Institute Of Dahlia Research.)

3 REASONS WHY YOU TAKE PEOPLE'S OPINIONS TOO SERIOUSLY -
AND 3 WAYS TO STOP THAT
And you're not the only one. There's a science behind this ...
Why do other people’s opinions about you matter so much to you? Or, well, to us? (Because you’re not the only one.) Why do we need to define our self-image through others people’s eyes? Someone says you have a big nose, and suddenly, “I have a big nose.” Someone calls you stupid, and suddenly, “I’m stupid.”
You’ve lived with yourself your entire life. Why do you let others define you?
This stops today.
In this episode, you will learn the three science-backed reasons why other people’s opinions about you seem to matter so much. And you will get three tools to disarm these opinionated weapons people toss at you. (Don’t worry, NONE of these tools say, “Just stop caring about what others say.”)

HOW TO GET UNSTUCK with DANIEL MATÉ
Gabor Maté told me he failed as a parent. Now his son (and co-author) Daniel talks about getting stuck in childhood trauma. (And how much he loves his father.)
Daniel and I during our Instagram live. Hopefully he'll like this screenshot better than the one on Insta...
The last question I asked Gabor was: “What’s your biggest failure?” And he told me that his greatest failure in life was himself as a parent. (By the by, many parents would probably say the same of themselves.) So I had to ask his son Daniel to talk about that. Give his perspective.
And, boy did he give it - and a whole lot more.
Daniel shares his personal stories, growth, and gives insight into the father-son best-seller, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, & Healing in a Toxic Culture. The result is an enlightening conversation about childhood trauma, narcissism, narcissists, dealing with rifts in parent-adult-child relationships and sibling relationships …
And - really - all of this comes down to - getting stuck - AND unstuck - in life.
