Interesting podcast but hard to listen to such poor audio quality.

Poor sound quality

Dan, I enjoy your books and postings. I delighted with your interview of Biz Stone so much so that I had to listen to your earlier interview with another one of my favorite authors -- Adam Grant. 
I laughed at the bit about &#34;no homework policy&#34; from Biz. Maybe if teachers adapted that policy students would pay more attention in the classroom. Just thinking. 
Take care and thanks for all you do. 
Jan

Glad I found you

"Good people learn from everyone, average just from themselves, the stupid already know everything." Jocko led navy seal teams in Iraq, became a best selling author after and now runs a successful corporate leadership consulting company. There is huge amounts to learn from him, eg about disipline, perspective, etc... And it's just interesting too. "If you want to understand the beauty of the life you have it is good to understand the darkness." Jocko. "Discipline = freedom". Jocko

Jocko Willink (@jockowillink) is one of the scariest human beings imaginable. He is a lean 230 pounds. He is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu expert who used to tap out 20 Navy SEALs per workout. He is a legend in the Special Operations world. His eyes look through you more than at you. He rarely does interviews, if ever. But a few weeks ago, Jocko ended up staying at my house and we had a caffeinated mind meld. Here's some background... Jocko enlisted in the Navy after high school and spent 20 years in the SEAL Teams, first as an enlisted SEAL operator and then as a SEAL officer. During his second tour in Iraq, he led SEAL Task Unit Bruiser in the Battle of Ramadi--some of the toughest and sustained combat in the SEAL Teams since Vietnam. Under his leadership, Task Unit Bruiser became the most highly decorated Special Operations Unit of the entire war in Iraq and helped bring stability to Ramadi. Jocko was awarded the Bronze Star and a Silver Star. Upon returning to the United States, Jocko served as the Officer-in-Charge of training for all West Coast SEAL Teams, designing and implementing some of the most challenging and realistic combat training in the world. So why is Jocko opening up? Well, in part, we have mutual friends. Second, he is the co-author of an incredible new book — Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win -- which I've been loving. Trust me. Buy it. This is his first mainstream interview and one you won't want to miss. Show notes and links for this episode can be found at www.fourhourworkweek.com/podcast.

#107: The Scariest Navy SEAL I've Ever Met...And What He Taught Me

Alain's essay "Why you will marry the wrong person" was the most read article on the New York Times in 2016. "We would be much happier if we re-examined our view of love and realised that the real work comes not in failing in love but after." "Love is the process where two people try to teach each other how to become the best versions of themselves." Enjoy.

What if the first question we asked on a date were, "How are you crazy? I'm crazy like this"? Philosopher and writer Alain de Botton's essay "Why You Will Marry the Wrong Person" was, amazingly, the most-read article in The New York Times in the news-drenched year of 2016. As people and as a culture, he says, we would be much saner and happier if we reexamined our very view of love. How might our relationships be different — and better — if we understood that the real work of love is not in the falling, but in what comes after?

During the 1960s the field of psychology focussed on the science of how past trauma creates present symptoms, and how to reduce people’s misery. Professor Martin Seligman wanted to change that focus. He’s become known as the Father of Positive Psychology, and he’s had a profound influence worldwide. In Part 1 of our 2 programs with Martin Seligman, hear him address an exclusive audience in Australia on happiness and human flourishing.
