"We want sex with one person in the long haul that is fun and connected and intimate and playful. And we live twice as long. Go figure." - Esther Perel

For most of human history, sex was procreation and duty. Women's pleasure didn't matter. Marriage had nothing to do with desire. Then everything changed in just 60 years. Contraception freed women from the terror of pregnancy and death. The women's movement challenged ancient power structures. Suddenly we started marrying for butterflies and attraction, expecting those feelings to sustain us for decades. But here's what nobody prepared us for: research shows women get bored with monogamy much faster than men. Not because women want less sex, but because they want less of the boring sex that shows up in long-term relationships. The romance dies. The seduction disappears. Men think foreplay is five minutes before intercourse, but Esther explains that for women, foreplay actually starts at the end of the previous orgasm. It's the tease, the pacing, the way animals circle each other without overwhelming.

This conversation strips away everything you thought you understood about desire in relationships. Esther walks through why sustaining passion with one person for 60 years is literally unprecedented in human history, and what actually kills desire in marriage. The plot disappears. The character gets stale. Couples stop seducing each other and wonder why the spark died. She reveals the essential ingredients that make eroticism possible, why women's desire needs romance and mystery to survive, and how most relationships accidentally destroy the very conditions that create turn-on. This isn't about trying harder or scheduling more date nights. It's about understanding that we're living through a grand experiment of humankind, asking for something no generation before us has successfully achieved, and most of us are doing it completely wrong.Retry

"Chasing money while neglecting your health makes you broke twice, once in your body and again in your bank account." - Lewis Howes

Lewis believes most people start their day backwards. They wake up, grab their phone, dive into chaos, and wonder why money feels so hard to create. He's found that one tiny act changes everything: making your bed before touching anything else. Not perfectly ironed sheets, just smoothing things out while saying, "I create order, and because I create order, I create wealth." It sounds almost too simple, but Lewis explains how this two-minute ritual restructures your entire nervous system. When you live in physical clutter, your mind operates in clutter too. Your thoughts stay scattered, your cortisol stays elevated, and you make decisions from survival mode instead of abundance. That first act of creating order signals something different to your brain. You start your day having already won something small, and that momentum carries into every choice that follows.

The second piece Lewis hammers home is even more confronting: your body is your wealth engine, and if you're running on empty, money won't stick to you. He talks about meeting people who are vibrant and alive versus those who are emotionally drained, and how opportunities literally seem to find the first group while passing by the second. When you're depleted, you can't maintain the consistency needed to build anything lasting. You become the person who starts things but can't finish them, who sees opportunities but lacks the energy to act. Lewis isn't preaching perfection or some intense morning routine that takes hours. He's pointing to something deeper: if you want different financial results, you have to create from a place of peace and clarity, not from overwhelm and stress. Make your bed, take care of your energy, and watch how differently the world responds to you.

"Events don't cause stress. What causes stress are the views you take of the event." - Dr. Ellen Langer

Picture this: A fire destroys 80% of everything you own. Your response? "It was already gone. What was the point in getting crazy over it?" That's Dr. Ellen Langer, a Harvard psychology professor whose work on mindfulness has shaped how we understand stress and human potential. When the insurance adjuster showed up after her house burned down, he told her it was the first time in 25 years someone's reaction was calmer than the actual damage warranted. Most people catastrophize before they even see the extent of the loss. Ellen did the opposite. She immediately saw those burnt possessions as artifacts of her past, things she might not even choose again if she were starting fresh today. Then something happened on Christmas Eve that she couldn't have predicted: the hotel staff where she was staying, from the parking attendants to the chambermaids, filled her room with gifts. Not management. Not the owner. The people you barely notice. For years, she couldn't tell that story without crying.

What makes this conversation so powerful is watching someone live their philosophy in real time. Ellen doesn't just theorize about stress, she's walked through actual loss and come out believing that worrying is simply a waste of time. She breaks down why predictability is an illusion we cling to, why most of what we worry about never happens, and how stress relies on two false assumptions: that we know what will happen, and that when it does, it will be awful. The conversation moves from handling global crises to personal disasters, from the things that keep us up at night to the moments that restore our faith in humanity. You'll hear about the class she taught without any of her notes after they burned in the fire, how it became the best class she ever taught because everything had to be thought through fresh in that moment. This isn't about positive thinking or pretending bad things don't happen. This is about what becomes possible when you stop trying to control outcomes you can't predict anyway.Retry

"Addiction is never a choice and it's not some kind of genetic disease, which that is total nonsense. What it actually is, is an attempt to solve a problem in your life." - Gabor Maté

Gabor Maté doesn't sugarcoat it. When he asks what addiction gave you, he's not interested in shame or judgment. He wants you to see the truth: you were trying to escape something. Lewis admits he felt trapped throughout his entire childhood, and Gabor names it immediately. That's what addiction is for. It's for people who feel imprisoned, who need an escape from pain they didn't ask for. Gabor shares his own struggle with workaholism, driven by a desperate need to prove he had the right to exist, that he was worthy of love. These aren't moral failures. They're survival responses to trauma that got embedded in childhood, and they've been following you ever since.

Here's what changes everything: addiction isn't about what's wrong with you. It's about what happened to you, and what you've been trying to solve ever since. Gabor walks through why virtually everyone in a room would raise their hand if asked whether they have an addiction by his definition, because most of us are trying to escape something we couldn't control. He's clear that while rare spiritual moments in nature can sometimes spark healing, most of us need self-awareness, support, connection, and guidance. This conversation strips away the myths about addiction being a disease or a choice, and reveals the trapped child underneath who's still trying to break free. If you've been waiting for that miraculous moment to heal, Gabor's message is direct: don't wait. Get the help, because you have a much better chance that way.
