Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

Dennis and Julie start by discussing idiosyncrasies, pistachios, germs, loving classical music and hating tattoos.  Life has a way evolving you… youthful, preconceived notions can shatter with time.  There is tremendous value in learning from observation.  There are infinite “things” to take interest in… you’re not bored, you’re boring …you may not know what your “things” are unless you try them.  You don’t have to be brilliant, exceptional, or even smart … you have to take interest, work hard, and be self-disciplined.  The question is not “who am I?” …the question is “who do I want to be?”  People in the world yearn to learn… in the U.S. people take our opportunity to do so for granted.  Other topics include: adrenaline excitement versus long term enthusiasm; social media; marijuana use; jadedness; Dennis’ cellist story; victimhood status versus experiencing real assault; misogyny; racism; antisemitism; the surrogacy issue listener response.Music: Straight to the Point c 2022Richard Friedman Music Publishing 100%Richard Friedman Writers 100%ASCAP (PRO)IPI128741568RichardFriedmanMusic.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
