Why this equation is a quantifiable, non-woo way of achieving the incredible in spite of borrowing words like "miracle" and "faith." How to move from the emotional pain of resistance to the emotional invincibility of acceptance. Why pursuing one mission dauntlessly is worth more than setting a hundred fuzzy goals. How you can turn off your stress response and what you can do to grow from fleeting happiness to lasting inner peace. And much more...

David Smalley (@davidcsmalley) is an actor, comedian, and host of the Dogma Debate podcast, in which he -- as an atheist -- regularly discusses religion and politics with preachers, pastors, comedians, and people who hold different world views. What We Discuss with David Smalley: How David Smalley went from spiritual believer to secular atheist. Why regularly challenging your own beliefs helps inoculate you against manipulation by others. The tactics car dealers and clergy use to corral people into compliance. What happens when atheists cling to faulty beliefs with the same fervor once reserved for their disavowed religions. How to debate in a way that might actually change someone's mind rather than angering them to the point of doubling down on their initial position. And much more...

What We Discuss with Naveen Jain: How Naveen and his siblings all became wildly successful professionals in spite of growing up financially and educationally underprivileged. How to know when a billionaire really becomes successful. Why it's the thought processes -- not the habits -- of highly successful people you should be emulating if you want to succeed. Why Naveen believes sustainability is not sustainable, and why we have to create more of what we need rather than consume less of what we have.

Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: Is your significant other right to be upset that you want to spend some of your social time separately? Is spending eight years to switch careers from barber to therapist worthwhile in your mid-forties? Is there anything wrong with hiding the fact that you're in a relationship when you meet new people? You're still young, but your mindless six-figure job is wearing on you. Would it be irresponsible to drop everything and do something else? How can you overcome your intense fear and anxiety around driving? More important: should you? Our listener whose dog was attacked in episode 161 tracked down the human respon

Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) joins us for this deep dive into why the impulse for blaming other people is a phenomenon familiar to most of us, and how we can curb it in ourselves without defaulting to always taking the fall when it’s undeserved. What We Discuss with Gabriel Mizrahi: Why the externalization of blaming other people when you're at fault robs you of being truly in control of your own life. Why the internalization of blaming yourself when you're not at fault is just as toxic as externalization. How you can use the Accountability Spectrum to find an appropriate balance between externalization and internalization. What true accountability requires of you and what it gives you in return. The best antidote to blaming. And much more... Sign up for Six-Minute Networking — our free networking and relationship development mini course — at jordanharbinger.com/course!

Why a network is the best way to increase your luck surface area -- the number of chances you have to get lucky when things aren't going your way. How and why relationships decay -- especially in this day and age when we're ostensibly connected to everyone we know on social media.

Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: What can you do when your parents are hoarders with health issues who get enraged when you try to help them? Your calmness under stress seems like a positive trait in a medical professional. But are your peers right to call you disinterested? When you dislike idle chit chat, how do you respond to the small talk question "How's business?" without being uncivil? Is becoming a police officer because you want to help people a good idea for someone who's never really dealt with trauma, or could you be throwing yourself in the deep end? How might an over-55 sales professional re-entering the job market go about start

(Willing to Fail): How Failure Can Be Your Key to Success. What We Discuss with Brian Scudamore: How Brian turned a trash removal business that began with a $700 investment into an international, multimillion dollar service franchise. The $29 gimmick Brian used to prove to his franchise partners they didn't need to spend big bucks on traditional marketing tactics to get their small business known. Why high school dropout Brian didn't sell his business and retire in his 20s -- even when competitors offered him millions of dollars. Brian's WTF (willing to fail) philosophy that has allowed him to harness the smaller failures along the way to avoid ultimate catastrophe in the long run (with examples). Practical exercises you can use -- for entrepreneurship as well as personal enrichment -- to similarly WTF your

With inoperable stage four pancreatic cancer, your father may not have long to live. How can you fill his remaining time with purpose? How can you be comfortable around someone who seemingly reads your mind by body language, microexpressions, and tonality? While you want to open up around others, social events have you in the corner hiding inside your shell. How can you coax yourself out to mingle? You're in your 30s and you can keep working locally at a safe, consistent job that pays well, but you're really

Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: You accidentally sent your roommate a message meant for someone else in which you were indirectly complaining about them. Is there a way to gracefully recover from this faux pas? Even though you seem to hit it off when meeting new people, you can't seem to form close friendships and make them stick. What's missing from the formula? As a young couple about to embark on a life of wedded bliss, what's the fairest way to handle finances from the start -- especially when one person makes considerably more money? Here's Jordan's strategy for investing money with compound interest. If you could ask only one question

What We Discuss with Mike Posner: Can two grown men who went to rival high schools as teenagers make nice on a podcast? How experiencing fame and fortune forced Mike Posner to reexamine his values -- and why he's glad it happened to him early in life. How Mike's lifestyle changed from a focus on fame, money, and materialism to one centered around self-care, creativity, and motivation. Why Mike looks at success and failure as waves that tend to follow one another -- not states of guaranteed permanence.
