Hello, pretty listeners. You're about to hear an episode of How To with Charles Doohig.

It's a brand new slate podcast hosted by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and

author of the power of habit Charles Doohig.

In how to Charles uses his investigative reporting skills

and enlists experts to answer listeners toughest questions.

It'll be coming out every week,

but there are four episodes for you to listen to right now. So make sure

to subscribe in Apple, Spotify or wherever else you get your podcasts. In the first batch of

episodes Charles tackles how to be funny, how to withstand pain, and also how to rob a bank.

You're about to hear the episode called How to Give a Kidney to your mom.

It's a really difficult conversation with a woman from Utah who's trying to do the right thing even though her mother doesn't want it.

How does she solve the dilemma? Keep listening to find out.

I think she just kind of wants like a kidney to land in her mailbox, you know, to have like no associated

guilt or worry about the donor.

And I said, but if I take it out, it's not going to be any good to me anymore.

You might as well. Like I would hand it to her on a plate and she would, you know, have to out of good manners, take it. But she said, no, I won't take it. I won't take your kidney.

This is how to, a show where we help people figure out the answers to life's most important questions. I'm Charles Duig.

Today, we're going to do something a little bit different. We're going to talk to

someone who's facing an excruciating decision and ask, how do you get at peace with making

a huge sacrifice.

How do you plunge in when there's something you know you ought to do, but you're scared, because this choice will cause you pain and suffering.

And in the end, it might not even help the person you're doing it for.
