Do you ever have that experience where you're reading a book and find yourself nodding your head and thinking, "Yes!" because you agree and resonate so deeply with what the author is saying? That happened with me over and over again when I read The Untethered Soul and its follow up, The Surrender Experiment, by Michael Singer. They quickly became two of my favorite books of all time, and there are millions of people who would say the same things about his work. Today, I'm going to read one of my favorite chapters from The Untethered Soul to you: "The Path of Unconditional Happiness." This chapter reaffirms a fundamental philosophy that has been one of the most important I've ever discovered, what Michael Singer calls "the highest spiritual path." It is that life is meant to be enjoyed, that suffering is optional, and how we always have a choice to be happy, regardless of our circumstances, which begins the moment we make our "vow of unconditional happiness." I invite you to keep an open mind, think about the emotions that cause you pain as well as those that best serve you, and think about how you can apply Michael Singer's wisdom to your life so that you can truly enjoy every moment and be the happiest you've ever been.

Each week, I receive hundreds of emails from members of our community, asking me all types of questions - some of which are pretty unexpected, but I'll leave those for another episode. :^) One of the most popular types of questions that I get revolves around how I schedule my day, and structure my Miracle Morning. Today, I want to take some time to really answer this question. Right now, my SAVERS take about 90 minutes – 30 minutes for myself, 30 minutes for my family, and 30 minutes for my mission/ business. This may sound like a lot, but it's completely doable with the structure. If you're wondering how I plan my day, how I'm currently practicing my SAVERS, what I eat, and how I use my time in service of my family and my mission, this episode breaks down each step along the way.

As human beings, we're prone to living in the past or anticipating the future, but rarely are we present to the only thing that's real… NOW. Life is always happening right now, and yet most of us spend our entire lives in our heads, thinking about the past or future, which is causing us to miss out on the essence of life. When we're fully present, we're calm, we transcend stress and worry, and we're able to experience life as it is meant to be lived. I first began learning about this in my early twenties, when I first read The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, and I've been striving and struggling to implement it in my life ever since. In today's podcast, I want to talk about the power of this practice, how to share it with your family, and how to get started if you've never meditated before or have struggled with meditation in the past.

How has the first half of 2020 been for you so far? I know, I know – that's a loaded question. When you and I were planning our goals for the year, I don't think either of us considered that a global pandemic and the accompanying quarantine would show up. Personally, back in February, I was in the middle of planning a nationwide theater release for The Miracle Morning movie, and then the Coronavirus struck, and our entire plan had to be thrown out. Well, even if the first six months haven't been what you'd planned on or expected, and you're not to blame for the adverse circumstances in the world, now is the time for us to regroup so that we can make the second half of 2020 better than the first. Today, I want to share three simple steps to help you focus on what you can do to make meaningful progress during the second half of this year. I want you to have the most successful, enjoyable, and fulfilling six months you've ever had.

When I was diagnosed with cancer in 2016, my prognosis was extremely grim. I was given a 10 to 30% chance of surviving, which you could also say is a 70 to 90% chance of dying. Thankfully, soon after I was diagnosed, I read Dr. Bernie Siegel's book, Love, Medicine & Miracles, and I began affirming that there was a 100% chance that I would be in the 10 to 30% that survived. Bernie is an expert in mind-body connection. He's been sharing for decades the mind's ability to heal the body and our ability to heal ourselves, and what was once seen as kind of woo-woo is now more backed by science than ever before. In today's conversation, Bernie shares deep wisdom about the problems with our perceptions around health and wellness, the power we all have to heal ourselves and change our lives, and the unique healing power of love.

Happy Father's Day to all of my fellow fathers and your families! Today's podcast is for you. Many of us dads tell ourselves that "family is our #1 priority" and yet, our schedules often tell a different story. Work and business take precedence over quality time with our families, time and time again, and this trade off can hurt our most important relationships and the impact we make for our children. For this special Father's Day bonus episode, Jon Vroman, founder of Front Row Dads, and I share the 3 Things Every Dad Must Know. If you're a parent or a parent-to-be, I'd encourage you NOT to skip this one. We dig deep into what it means to be a better husband and father, how you can upgrade your Miracle Morning, and what an unconditional commitment to your spouse and family really look like - to name just a few of the many topics we covered on this special episode. During today's conversation, here's what you'll learn: The difference between being vs. doing - and how to start being selfless in how you engage with your partner and children. How my Miracle Morning has evolved to make me a better parent and partner. Ways to praise your spouse and children so that they feel loved by you. How to reframe Father's Day to focus on the gifts you can give back to your family. And much more to help you become a better husband and father!

How do you feel about the current state of our world? Personally, I've got mixed feelings. On one hand, this is a crazy time in human history. People are dying, millions are unemployed, and many of our freedoms are being threatened or altogether taken away. All of this saddens me. However, on the other hand, people from all walks of life are uniting and working together to incite change. Protests are happening around the world, corrupt police officers are being held accountable, and people are courageously speaking up against injustice. All of this gives me hope. The cause that has been at the forefront of my mind is racial equality. This is a topic that is new to me, so I'm listening and learning as much as I can. I've realized that racism is more than just words, beliefs and actions. It includes all the barriers that prevent people from enjoying dignity and equality because of their race. Joining me today, to talk about this and much more, is my good friend Preston Smiles. Preston is the author of Love Louder, and he is a wise, courageous leader who has been unafraid to stand up for what he believes in. He has a uniquely modern, love-based approach to living, and today you'll gain his insights on everything from the "four levels of consciousness" to Preston's experiences as a black person in America, and ultimately how we can all elevate our consciousness to be better and live well as we do difficult, necessary work within ourselves, our families, and our communities. Every time I talk with Preston, I walk away feeling inspired, empowered, and equipped to be a better version of myself, and I believe that you will as well.

Have you ever taken a personality assessment? You know, the Myers-Briggs, DISC, or Enneagram tests that are supposed to tell us about who we are and fit us neatly into a predetermined category? Well, today's guest, Dr. Benjamin Hardy, has a very different take on personality testing. In his new book, Personality Isn't Permanent, he explores why these tests go against science and psychology, shape your identity in dangerous ways, and prevent us from living up to our true potential. Today, Dr. Hardy joins the podcast to talk about the danger of accepting labels from others, why it's time to do away with outdated personality tests, and how to stop living in the past and set a foundation for a hopeful future.

If we lose our planet, we don't survive. As a species, we are in the midst of a major extinction event, and our systems of food, housing, and medicine have decimated our earth, its natural resources, and its biodiversity. In fact, in the worst-case scenario, we could see the end of humanity within just 70-120 years. However, all is not lost. Dr. Zach Bush's day job is as an MD who specializes in internal medicine, endocrinology, and hospice care. However, he's also an internationally recognized educator and thought leader on the importance of microbiomes when it comes to health, disease, and nutrition. He's doing extraordinary work to save our planet, and he believes that we still have an opportunity to reverse the damage done and create the most verdant, biodiverse planet to have ever existed. Today, Zach joins the podcast for a deep dive into how we can cultivate extraordinary relationships with ourselves, each other, and the Earth.
