This episode is a wonderful conversation with Will R Young, a CFP, stoic philosopher, and the author of The Enough Equation. I messed up royally with the technology required in this episode, so it is a bit of a Frankenstein's Monster situation...just in time for Thanksgiving. No better time for a conversation about trying to detach from our American Materialism. I hope you enjoy it. You can find Will at WiLLRYoung on YouTube and WiLL Young CFP on LinkedIn. He is also on TikTok as @thorlightningingzeusthunder and X/Twitter at @Will_Young26.

I review Cait Flanders' book, The Year of Less. In the spirit of less, I have very little negative to say about it. I enjoyed this book quite a lot. She saves the more self-helpy portion for the end after telling you of her experience with her own experiment. It is a refreshing book that organically highlights some common and helpful self improvement tips. Please go check it out.

This book is a real mishmash for me. It reads like it was written in the 1950s but references stuff that has happened in the relative recent past. The book was published in 2004 for goodness sake! I have organized my comments about this book in order of worst tip to bets tips. Honestly, there are some fantastic tips in here that I have used to Big Success in my Relationships. And you can too!

Hey gang. I interviewed Colby Wilk, an Intuitive Guide and Wayfinder. He is all about what he calls self-acceptance. We discussed his advice for working toward self-acceptance. He explained that improvement he sees in his clients usually happens once that person accepts the situation or circumstances that person is in and then concentrates on learning from, rather than fighting through, the situation. You want the nitty-gritty, dive into the episode.

I listened to Drew Afualo's LOUD this week. Spoiler alert: I did not really like it. But it's not for me. In fact, I am the enemy. So, I think it's understandable why I wouldn't like it, to an extent. But the book illustrates some of the living contradiction that Drew Afualo embodies. She claims that our society is driven by pleasing men, but she has made her living by making fun of men. She claims that women should de-center men from their lives, but men sit at the center of her professional life. There are some positive aspects to the book - you'll have to listen to my episode to find out what I think those aspects are.

Sorry this one is getting to you a tad late. But I think the wait will be worth it. I review the fantastic David and Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell. I will be reviewing more books from him. David and Goliath is a wonderfully positive book that gave me some great insights on how I could improve how I view myself and how I try to deal with obstacles.

Hey all! This episode is about Lysa TerKeurst's Good Boundaries and Goodbyes. It was published in 2022. Lysa is a NYT best selling author. She has written 12 books so far in her career as an author. She is a founder of Proverbs 31 Ministries and does a lot of preaching and speaking with religious groups.

The book is a good introduction to setting and enforcing boundaries. I think it could have been more specific, included more concrete examples of good boundaries and appropriate consequences. The best thing this book does is justify why boundaries are not evil or immoral. But this book should not be your only stop on the journey to living with boundaries.
