Ep 229 | Now Is The Time To Reboot Your Life's Operating System

Co-hosted with Susan Lapin. If you cannot play tennis, your life can still be good. If you can't sing, play a musical instrument, or tell jokes, your life can still be wonderful. But there are five distinct things that are vital for every successful and happy life. What is more, you cannot have 3 out of the 5. It's all five or nothing. In a way, these five things make up an indivisible totality of good living. A good way of thinking of them is as your life's operating system. Everything you do, achieve and enjoy rests on the foundation of a smoothly-running operating system.  We talk of identifying these five things and acquiring them.  We reveal useful tips, tools, and techniques that we have published in our new book, The Holistic You. Read about it here  https://a.co/d/24XdFHh What is the difference between electric cars and polyamorous living arrangements? Does making money mean the same to women as it does to men? Are there male female relationships that are 100% non-romantic; purely business or social? Discover how the world REALLY works.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep 228 | Get Smart: Three Foolish Fallacies and One Big Truth

Why hate the Jews? The honest, true, and deeply uncomfortable explanation for anti-Semitism. Two nations on one island: Haiti is desperate and hopeless. The Dominican Republic is vibrant and successful. What is the difference? Whenever you hear concern about "The Children" know that you are being powerfully and emotionally manipulated for political purposes. More Jews had to leave Arab lands than Arabs had to leave Israel in 1948. Why are Arab refugees treated differently from all other refugees in the world? The fallacy of proportionality. Someone is beating up your wife and kid, careful now, make sure your response is proportional. Really? Where did this rubbish doctrine come from? Loving those you give to rather than those who give to you. Isn't compassion always a desirable characteristic?  Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep 224 | Marriage: Sharing a Bed and a Bank Account

I prefer a sacred Christmas to a secular Christmas. Secularism is not just a fair way to organize a pluralistic society. It exerts a malign influence on civilization. In ways you can't imagine.  A guy is really unhappy because his wife lunches with a male colleague a couple of times a week. Is his bank account relevant to this story?  Why platonic friendships between men and women between the ages of 15 and 70 never work. Is an emotional affair a thing? What should the unhappy guy do? Remember Mel Gibson's Braveheart? It explains one of the most important aspects of Chanuka. What were you doing between the ages of 13 and 23? Is it time for you to start making only wise decisions in the important areas of your life? If so, read this  https://a.co/d/cX2lpPq Do you want your spiritual schematic to be about abundance or shortage? There are real life consequences to how you answer that question. Why communism hates both marriage and private property. Other secrets about the interactions between marriage and money.    Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep 223 | The Cult of Climate: Who Is Really Infallible?

Do you know the really unpopular message of Chanuka? That's right, it has something to do with burning oil. Why the Fossil Fuel vision seems to drag along a vision of shortage, limits, and ultimately poverty. Predictions of running out of coal and oil go back to the 19th century and they've all been wrong. Why do they keep making them? It's almost as if they WANT to run out of energy. What's going on? Is it time for you to start making only wise decisions in the important areas of your life? If so, read this  https://a.co/d/cX2lpPq Do you want your spiritual schematic to be about abundance or shortage? There are real life consequences to how you answer that question.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep 222 | What Good Is Ancient Jewish Wisdom?

Many mistakenly believe that the proliferation of regulations and laws are evidence of a society's sophistication and advance. In reality, that is like saying that all the medications in an old man's medicine chest are evidence of his good health. Preserving a functioning family or a successful society is hard and mostly depends on a rare array of tools. In this show, your rabbi provides a guide to those tools. Are you thinking about making next year different from last year? Here is a very useful resource to look into:  https://rabbidaniellapin.com/product/chart-your-course-e-book-video-bundle/ Useful insights into clothing. Lessons for your life from McDonalds and General Motors. The hidden impact of vasectomies. Failures of feminism and artificial intelligence.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ep 221 | Something Happened. Now Should He Trust Her? Should She Trust Him?

Do you want a good life? Do you know what a good life means? What do you have to do in order to achieve a good life? How Germany defeated France in only six weeks in early 1940. Why Mercedes and BMW are more reliable cars than Peugot and Citroën. What this teaches us about making our lives good. Especially connection between money and marriage. What is purpose of physical intimacy: pleasure or procreation? Both? Why must the life-enhancing energy we call family derive from this elemental male female connection? His wife concealed her half million dollar trust fund from him. Can he trust her? Can she trust him? Should she? Read about The Holistic You, the ultimate guide to the Good Life: Click: https://rabbidaniellapin.com/product/the-holistic-you-hardcover/    What happens to a marriage when one spouse wins the lottery?

Ep 220 | Why They Fight. Why You Are In This Fight. Like It Or Not.

Your rabbi confesses that there are aspects of the Islamic struggle for world domination that he admires; not likes, not values, not commends and not approves, but admires. You willl learn why considering this a stuggle between Islam and Democracy is childish. Why Moslems fight among themselves. Why the Palestinian issue will never be solved by a bureaucrat with a map and a pencil. Why the hideous savagry of October 7th. Why they die in Gaza. What happened to the Red Cross and the kidnapped Jews in the dark Gazan tunnels.Political power today is achieved by appeals to the heart not the head. How democracy leads to tyranny. But in all of this, live a good life by focusing on your 5Fs and study the roadmap to a good life, The Holistic You.  https://a.co/d/fGCL0sl  Because regardless of the storms that swirl around the borders of your life, you can rise and prosper by retaining a laser-like focus on your 5 Fs.   Learn more about your ad choices.
