| 0:00.0 | Hi there, I'm really excited to introduce today's guest, Michael Berg. |
| 0:07.6 | Michael is a brilliant scholar, writer and teacher who's thought very deeply about the |
| 0:12.3 | question of the heart of this podcast and also at the heart of my book. |
| 0:16.3 | Namely, how can you and I build lives that are truly richer, wiser and happier? |
| 0:21.7 | Michael comes at this question from an unusual angle that may not be particularly familiar |
| 0:25.9 | to you. |
| 0:26.9 | He teaches an ancient form of spiritual wisdom called Kabbalah, which goes back literally |
| 0:32.6 | thousands of years. |
| 0:34.5 | Until the last few decades, this was a secret wisdom. |
| 0:38.0 | Historically, it was so concealed that you weren't even allowed to study it unless you were |

| 0:47.4 | You also had to understand Hebrew and Aramaic so that you could read the most important |
| 0:51.9 | Kabbalistic books, including a monumental and incredibly profound book called The Zohar. |
| 0:59.2 | Michael grew up in a family that was totally immersed in this ancient wisdom, and he's |
| 1:04.0 | deeply committed to making it accessible to anyone it might help, regardless of that background. |
| 1:10.1 | When he was only 18 years old, he started translating the Zohar from Aramaic into English, |
| 1:16.0 | ultimately producing a 23 volume edition that took a decade to complete. |
| 1:22.1 | But what makes Michael extraordinary is that he's able to take this fairly esoteric knowledge |
| 1:27.9 | and make it extremely practical and applicable to our own day-to-day lives. |
| 1:33.8 | In this conversation, he talks about very pragmatic subjects like how you and I can extract |
| 1:39.4 | more pleasure from whatever else we have, whether we have a lot of money or not that much. |
| 1:44.8 | He talks about why so many rich people are surprisingly unsatisfied and unhappy. |
