I am so grateful I was finally able to get this guy on the podcast.

I read a book by Arthur Brooks a year ago from strength to strength,

and it was all about how the brain changes from when you're younger

to when you're older and what changes and how you can

still be successful and maybe even more successful when you're older,

but you have to understand exactly how the brain changes

and how you changed during this period.

This book was so valuable to me

and it's really changed my life in a lot of ways just like this particular

podcast episode did. Arthur Brooks is such an inspiration and he also just wrote a book with Oprah

called Build the Life You Want, The Art and Science of Getting Happier.

It's a great book, again, really valuable discussion about it,

valuable book, valuable discussion.

I hope you enjoy this podcast as much as not your average host.

This is the James Altager show. And you'll have to forgive me. I have had a little bit of brain fog this week so even though I've read these books

sometimes I might get titles wrong so yeah no no don't worry of course I mean it's that they're also, I mean, I wrote them, not you,

so it's okay.

And you do this all day long, so, you know?

Almost this week, this is the, again, this is the only podcast I'm doing is this

podcast with you Arthur Brooks so Arthur recently you wrote build the life you want

you wrote that with Oprah, we'll talk about that.

But about a year and a half ago, I read a book about you that really changed my perspective
