You're listening to a podcast from Meaning of Life TV.

Hi, Bruce.

Hi, Bob.

How you doing?

I'm doing well.

Nice to be with you.

Good to have you.

Thanks for making the time.

Let me introduce us.

I'm Robert Wright.

This is the right show available on both streaming video and via audio podcast. You're a Bruce Filer, well-known writer, author of a number of books,

including the mega, mega, mega, mega bestseller walking the Bible some years ago.

More recently, Council of Dads, which was turned into an actual NBC TV show show which is more than I can say for any of my books but neither of those books is what we're here to talk about you are the author of the brand new book Life is in the Transitions Mastering Change at any age which is good because that covers my age group. There it is. You're holding it up.

Hold it up right in the middle so it obscures your face. Be selfless about it. There you go.

That's the book. Nice looking jacket. Nice, very alluring title. And we have a lot to talk about.

Before we get to that, because this is, I think, relevant in a way that we will eventually come to.

But you are also the author of the Filer Faster thesis.

And I'm proud to say that I was present at the creation of the Filer Faster thesis.

Is that consistent with your recollection? That is consistent with my recollection. In fact, as we get started here, I feel

obliged to point out that this is risky that you and I have known each other for 25 years.

That was risky, but you pulled it off.

I think we got through.
