This question has been addressed ad nauseum, BUT in today's podcast episode I approach it in a novel way that I’m confident will leave you with: - a new understanding of the nature of happiness and - clarity in deciding your path forward from now.

With some clarity about what will and will not give us the freedom we're working to achieve, we can put our time and effort into the things that will actually make a difference.

Considering how beneficial crying is, should one ever recommend not choosing to cry about being in painful circumstances? The answer is a resounding YES! Sometimes. A deep lesson...

Double standards get a bad rap and mostly they deserve it, but as strange as it sounds, there IS a double standard that will make your life richer, more fulfilling, and more rewarding.

What do you struggle with more: being humble or being proud? Can you imagine having to be both at the same time?? The truth is that Judaism has always been about being BOTH humble AND proud. They may seem to be opposites, and they certainly can be, but they definitely do not need to be.
