• Your Brain On God: The Neuroscience That Proves Faith Heals | Dr. Daniel Amen

  Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1860"Happiness is a moral obligation. There was nowhere in my childhood that happiness was a moral obligation. It was more about long suffering." - Dr. Daniel AmenDr. Daniel Amen grew up Catholic, an altar boy taught that faith meant long suffering, not happiness. He was scared of God more than he was connected to Him. Then a cute Army company clerk asked him to take her to church, which turned out to be a wild Pentecostal healing service with speaking in tongues and dancing. That unexpected detour led him to Teen Challenge, working with drug addicts who found staggering success rates when they stopped making recovery about themselves and started making it about their relationship with God. Years later, after becoming one of the world's leading brain scientists, he walked into his own church past tables of donuts being sold to fund ministry. He got angry. Really angry. So he prayed what felt like the stupidest prayer of his life: that God would use him to change the food culture at churches. Two weeks later, Rick Warren, pastor of one of the largest churches in the world, called him out of nowhere and said, "I'm fat. My church is fat. Will you help me?" Fifteen thousand people signed up the first week. They lost a quarter of a million pounds the first year.The conversation reveals something most people don't know: there's hard science behind why faith works. Researchers at Duke have documented that people who attend religious services regularly get better faster when they're sick. They have lower rates of mental health issues. It's not just the community, though that helps. It's the belief itself. Believing you're here for a purpose, that your body is sacred, that you're wonderfully made. Those beliefs create actual neurotransmitter benefits in your brain. Dr. Amen's purpose is to make a dent in the universe by getting people to love and care for their brains, and he's discovered that faith and brain health aren't separate paths. Your health will reflect the health of your ten closest friends. You get better together or you get sick together. This is a conversation about finding purpose in what you thought was your dumbest moment, about how anger at church donuts can become a movement, and about why happiness isn't just a nice idea but a moral obligation.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

• The Biggest Money Mistake Is Not What You Think | Bill Perkins

  Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1529"I think the biggest psychological crime is people fear running outta money instead of fear of wasting their life." - Bill PerkinsBill Perkins watched busloads of senior citizens arrive in St. Petersburg, Russia. Not a single person climbed the 115 steps to see the breathtaking view from the church balcony. They had the money for the trip, the time to travel, but their bodies wouldn't cooperate anymore. That moment crystallized everything he'd been thinking about how we get life backwards. We treat money like it's the goal when it's actually just a tool, one that loses effectiveness as our bodies and minds decline. Your body peaks at 33. After that, it's plateau and decline. Those hiking trips, those physical adventures, those experiences that require energy and health—they have expiration dates we refuse to acknowledge. We tell ourselves we'll do them later, when we're more financially secure, but later means weaker knees, less stamina, different limitations.Perkins talks about life in buckets, periods you'll never get back. Your twenties happen once. The years with small children happen once. Each phase has experiences designed for it, and if you miss them, they interfere with each other or disappear entirely. He uses a Tetris metaphor: imagine standing in heaven with God, throwing every experience you want into a bucket. Hiking, building businesses, raising kids, traveling to places that require climbing, all of it. God says you can have everything, you just have to get the order right. That's the game. That's what most people get catastrophically wrong. They're so afraid of judgment, so terrified of running out of money that they waste the periods of life when those experiences would mean the most, when their bodies could actually do them. This isn't about reckless spending. It's about understanding that your ability to convert money into fulfilling experiences decays over time, and no amount of savings can buy back the body you had at 33.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

• Kill Your Broke Identity And Build Real Wealth | Jen Sincero

  Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1859"The number one question I get at my talks is, what do you do when the people closest to you don't support your growth? The main reason they don't support it is because you're killing off the person they love." - Jen SinceroJen Sincero sat in the driver's seat of an Audi she couldn't imagine owning, convinced the salesman would recognize her as an imposter and kick her out. She said "I can't afford it" so automatically it became a reflex, spoken a hundred times a day like a prayer to poverty. But those three words weren't just describing her reality—they were building it, brick by brick. Every time she said them, she pulled in more proof: the terrible car, the alley apartment, the bank account that never grew. She was trapped at what she calls the "kid table financially," watching real adults with real money from a distance, like they belonged to a different species. The shift didn't come from budgeting tips or side hustles. It came from understanding something most people never grasp: comfort zones aren't comfortable at all. They're familiarity zones, and breaking out of them requires something violent and necessary—killing off your old identity completely.This conversation cuts through every sugar-coated personal development cliché about money mindset. Jen talks about the WASP household where money was dirty, the rock-and-roller identity where wanting wealth meant selling out, and the brutal realization that to make real money, you have to obliterate the version of yourself that can't. Lewis and Jen dig into why this transformation is so lonely, why the people who love you often resist your growth hardest (you're literally killing off the person they know), and what it actually takes to shift from someone who can't afford things to someone who can. If you've ever felt stuck financially while watching others succeed, if "I can't afford it" comes out of your mouth more than you'd like, or if you're trying to grow and finding your closest relationships straining under the weight, this one will shake something loose.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
