| 0:00.0 | Many psychologists are looking at the past 12 months and seeing a pattern of |
| 0:07.8 | relationship, intimate relationship, acceleration. What that means is, you know, |
| 0:12.5 | the number of fights that you might have had in three years, you had in one |
| 0:15.9 | year. The amount of intimacy and connection and one-on-one time you might have |
| 0:19.7 | had in three years. A lot of people have had in one year. For better, in some |
| 0:23.4 | cases, for worse, in other cases. And the data doesn't lie. Divorce rates, break |
| 0:28.3 | up rates are at record highs right now in most countries. And that's not |

| 1:09.5 | into the world. And I try to find people who are writing books, teaching classes, |
| 1:14.1 | doing research. And I try to bring their best work to you here on the show. So |
| 1:18.3 | hopefully we can all live more inspired lives. Let's see how it works. Recently, |
| 1:22.5 | got rid of all advertising. I just found a kind of boring. Instead, I would ask |
| 1:25.6 | you to be my advertiser. Here's what you do. You just share the show. Share it on |
