0:00.0	Welcome to the Daily Dad podcast. Today is a special episode. This is an interview I did a few months ago with the one and only Dr. Harvey Carp.
0:17.3	Dr. Harvey Carp is in some ways responsible for you even listening to this because we are big
0:23.3	fans of the snoo over at our house and we didn't have it for our first, for our second son.
0:29.2	We did have it and frankly gave us so many hours of sleep that I could not be a heartier
0:34.6	endorser of Dr. Harvey's, Dr. Harvey Carp's work. Many, many of my friends
0:40.8	are huge fans of his stuff. I saw him talk at Summit Series one year. Anyways, check out this
0:45.4	interview with the one and only Dr. Harvey Carp and check out his stuff about being the happiest
0:50.2	toddler on the block. Great stuff, great thinker. I think you're really going to like this episode. So Dr. Karp, it's amazing to talk to you. I thought we'd start with something you and I
1:06.2	had briefly touched on on the phone last time we talked, which is one of the things that I've found
1:12.3	so sort of humbling and inspiring, but and also just unusual about being a parent, and it's

1:25.8	something that has happened for as long as there
1:29.7	have been people and that we are descendants of an unbroken line of other fathers and mothers
1:38.3	or we wouldn't be here. And there's this sort of theme you see in the Stoics talking about all the
1:43.4	time, just that history is the same thing happening over and over again.
1:46.5	And I don't know, when I read ancient history, I'm just struck always by, you know, it's like Socrates talking about, you know, troubles at home.
1:54.2	And like the theme of trying to be good at this really hard thing is maybe the most human thing that there is.
2:03.6	Yeah, it's beautifully put, Ryan.
2:06.6	I think that you don't even realize that until you have a child.
2:11.6	It's very kind of abstract for people in our culture today because unlike every other generation of humanity in history and prehistory up until 100 years ago, you would have spent a lot of time with little kids.
2:28.3	You would have helped raise your siblings and been with your cousins and run around in the play yard and big kids take care of the little kids.
2:36.0	And you just intuitively learn this stuff.
