Summary
In today's GLP Update, we're talking about the rarely-explored downside of being a "yes" person, and another study on why eating bigger breakfasts might help save your life.
Good Life Riff: We hear it all the time, and in fact we've invited people to explore the idea of saying yes to all sorts of things that, on the one hand scare them, but might also add unforeseen beauty to their lives. But, there's a disconcerting pattern that can emerge from becoming a "yes person," A hidden dark-side that can lead not to growth and purpose and joy, but to overwhelm and paralysis. We're talking about this on today's riff.
Good Life Science: And, in our Good Life Science segment, we're diving into some fascinating new research on breakfast. In a recent Good Life Update, we shared a study on how front-loading your daily calories and accelerate weight loss, but this new study offer yet another powerful reason to embrace a true, full breakfast. Turns out, it just might save your life! And, as always, for those want to go to the source, here's a link to the full study.

| 0:00.0 | So one of the conversations that I've heard kind of bouncing around with the fair number |
| 0:07.4 | of people probably for the last few years is getting on the Yes train is a year of Yes |
| 0:13.7 | saying yes to everything. I kind of feel like that might actually be the absolute wrong call |
| 0:19.6 | and I'm going to share why in today's Good Life Project update along with that with our |
| 0:25.1 | Science update or Good Life Science update. So really interesting additional evidence |
| 0:29.7 | piling on about why it may make a lot more sense to have a real breakfast. So I want to talk to you |
| 0:37.6 | about what Yes does to you and what No does to you and to me. I'm not outside of this conversation |
| 0:45.2 | but I need to just share a word with you about something else before I do that. As I sit here and record |
| 0:52.0 | this it is the middle of the week after a Sunday of the largest mass shooting in the history of |
| 1:01.8 | the United States in Las Vegas and in a few hours I'll be on a plane to Las Vegas to do some |
| 1:08.1 | speaking and to share some space and some safety and some conversation around the idea of purpose |
| 1:16.6 | and when I think about it when I think about what's happened when I think about |
| 1:23.1 | the bigger sweep of humanity these days my heart goes out to everybody. My heart goes out to |
| 1:30.5 | everybody who's been affected by this tragedy as well as by the natural tragedies that have |
| 1:36.0 | happened over the last few weeks and I feel like the world is a place that is in need of openness |
| 1:45.9 | and oneness and love right now and that's my intention that's my wish that is where |
| 1:54.3 | I would love to see more of us coming from and where I will intend and commit to try and come |
| 2:00.2 | from more as well and at the same time I'm also a realist and I realize that love is not an |
| 2:07.3 | alternative to or a reason not to also take action to be an activist to go out in the world and |
| 2:16.7 | rally for and stand for the changes that we need to make societally in our laws so that we can |
| 2:25.6 | all come to a place where we all feel safe in the world that we live in and embraced and heard |
| 2:33.1 | and seen and respected and treated with the dignity that is such an important part of a life well |
