| 0:00.0 | Hey, deserving listeners, it is just me today. |
| 0:10.5 | Today, I'm going to respond to patron Rubin's email. |
| 0:14.7 | Ruben asked me to provide 20 personal tips for having a great life. |
| 0:23.9 | Ruben says, could you provide a list of 20 personal tips you offer for having a great life based on your own experience? And when I first got |
| 0:30.2 | patron Rubin's email, I thought there's no way that I'd be able to answer that question. It's so |
| 0:36.1 | big and 20. If you'd asked for three, I thought, well, maybe I could provide |
| 0:40.9 | three tips, but 20, do I even have 20 tips? |
| 0:44.4 | And would I even have one tip? |
| 0:46.2 | It just seems too big. |
| 0:48.0 | But then I thought, well, I'd give it a try anyway. |
| 0:50.6 | I'm always up for a challenge. |
| 0:52.9 | And before getting into this, I just want to say that |

| 1:02.7 | for other people. So, you know, I can't say that they're universal. Being a therapist is a complicated profession, but one of the things |
| 1:14.1 | that we don't usually engage in is providing tips for the general public that claim that |
| 1:24.4 | they will improve your life or provide meaning or something. You know, that, |
| 1:28.1 | that's too personal and, and you have to take context into consideration for it for everybody. |
| 1:35.0 | So this isn't necessarily a professional episode, if you know what I'm saying, based on research, |
| 1:42.9 | although I do have some tips that are definitely based on research. |
| 1:47.2 | The other thing is, I think that the way Ruben wrote a longer email than that, |
| 1:54.2 | and Ruben seemed to be saying or even was saying that I might have some special knowledge or special ability |
| 2:05.2 | to lead a good life or something. And I just have to say that I struggle like everybody else. |
