| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Matthew Hussey, welcome to Love Life. It's a privilege to be able to offer you |
| 0:07.7 | bite-sized bits of advice on this podcast that you can use every day. But what if you're |
| 0:12.9 | ready for a big transformation and you want to do it now? You want to reinvent your career |
| 0:17.8 | or finally find lasting love or break free from the self-doubt that's holding you back |
| 0:22.6 | from living the abundant life you were meant to live. If you're saying yes, Matt, that's |
| 0:27.1 | me. I'm going to tell you exactly how to do just that at the end of today's show. So |
| 0:32.0 | make sure you stay tuned. First, let's get to today's episode. |

| 1:24.7 | with that voice. In the last episode, I talked about eliminating it, but elimination is |
| 1:28.9 | not quite the accurate term for it. What we're really doing is getting that voice under control |
| 1:34.0 | and showing that that voice is our servant and we're the master, not the other way around. |
| 1:40.2 | A lot of this came about because I was recently reading a book by a guy named Dan Harris. He |
| 1:44.7 | wrote a book called 10% Happier. And the book was very interesting to me because it was |
| 1:49.0 | written by a skeptic who was actually the anchor for or is the anchor I believe for ABC news |
| 1:56.0 | who couldn't stand the self-help world and wasn't into organized religion, but found that |
