| 0:00.0 | So every few months now, I have been sharing a spoken word roundup, narrating some of my most |
| 0:06.0 | popular essays from my personal substack and newsletter, A Wake at the Wheel. It's where I write |
| 0:12.3 | weekly in a much more personal, long-form way. And at the end, I always include what I call |
| 0:17.2 | a wake-up call, which is an invitation to explore a question or take a specific |
| 0:22.5 | action designed to help you feel more alive and less alone. Today, I'm sharing my third |
| 0:28.3 | A Wake at the Wheel roundup with new spoken word essays and a little poem to tie it all together |
| 0:33.3 | at the end, all of which led to some pretty passionate conversations in the comments. |
| 0:39.1 | One is about that annoying trope. The universe will never give you more than you can handle. |
| 0:44.0 | We'll see about that. The next explores what I call microdosing attention. The third invites you to |
| 0:51.1 | hit pause and ask a very important question before you hit the eject |
| 0:54.8 | button on your current life. The fourth, it's about a complicated guidance to stay in your lane |
| 1:01.1 | and how I know its value but struggle mightily with it. Now, the fifth is about the myth of losing |
| 1:07.3 | passion. And the final one is a little short and sweet poem, inviting really everybody |
| 1:12.3 | to have a little bit of faith, which made me uncomfortable sharing in print, but oddly makes me |
| 1:17.6 | even more uncomfortable sharing in spoken word form. Go figure. So if you're moved by what you hear |
| 1:23.9 | and would love to spend more time with these essays or read a whole bunch of the other |
| 1:29.2 | ones that I share on a regular basis. You can read them along with the wake-up call prompts over at |
| 1:34.8 | Awake at the Wheel on Substack. You'll find a link in the show notes. So excited to share these |
| 1:40.4 | offerings with you. I'm Jonathan Fields, and this is Good Life Project. |
| 1:50.7 | We often hear that there is too much anger in the world. But what if instead of trying to |
| 1:55.5 | suppress our anger, we learn to use it wisely. I'm Sam Parker, and in my new book Good Anger, I show how our most |
| 2:03.2 | misunderstood emotion can actually be a life-enhancing source of bravery, purpose and self-respect. |
