In this episode I explore the idea of creativity - when is the best time to be creative and can you do it with kids? How about sickness? During a life crisis? They myth of genius and how to do things in addition to dealing with life's shit sandwiches. 

During labor, women are told to relax in between contractions. To take a rest in the space between them. I get deep on this idea and the book "The Untethered Soul" and break down the key to happiness. Maybe the key to happiness isn't in happiness at all? Also, the Beastie Boys, Allen Iverson and what we can learn from Revenge of the Nerds. A short list of some of my favorite things. 

What does it take to live off the grid? And why do so many off the gridders choose Alaska? My friend Joe tells me all about the off the grid lifestyle - the pros and cons and we get super deep on life. Is living away from society really the answer to all my problems?

 "People changes" to quote Steve the great Philosopher. What to do when you're going thru a major life change? Panic? Yes. Have anxiety? Yes. Drink wine? YES. All of the above. Peep this episode as I talk about what to do about the necessity of transitions. 

I was surprised at how many people resonated with last week's podcast so this week is a continuation and a little perfectionism thrown in! I read some emails and further explore self loathing's kissing cousin.
