What if this (and every day) were the best day ever? Finding inspiration from their everyday interactions with others, Ted and Lisa offer up a Monster Baby grab bag of musings and insights. After opening up with a rousing game of Convergence (2:19), Lisa starts the conversation off by wondering about discipline in her life (8:03). Ted mentions Stanford author BJ Fogg’s notion of “tiny habits” (16:46) and Lisa introduces the idea of “start anywhere”—which then leads to some wondering about responders vs. intiators (19:51). Ted discusses how the PBS Country Music documentary illustrates the improv term “bricolage” (23:44) and then contributes his delight with author Steven Nachmanovich’s idea of verbs and nouns (29:37). After Lisa shares a vulnerable belief of hers (35:19), the pair considers a friend’s invitation to think of each and every day as “the best day ever.” (39:11) If there’s something in the episode that brings you particular joy—or raises a question—feel free to write us at [email protected].
