"Health is similar to finances in that there are many overly-complex things people say you need to do, but there are just a few simple things that actually matter.

What is the "spend less than you earn, invest in a diversified/low-fee portfolio, and leave it to grow/compound" of the health world?

That's what today's episode is about!

Parker Hewes wrote a book called Lifelong Youth: The Simple Path to a Long and Youthful Life, and today he shares the eight health behaviors that will do the most for your longterm health and wellbeing!"

- The Mad Fientist

I had the pleasure of getting interviewed by life coach and speaker, Carrie Doan, on her podcast, Clearly Connected. We talk about life design and creating happiness at any stage in life, no matter your circumstances.

Here's what Carrie had to say:

"When it comes to happiness, we don’t get it by some random stroke of luck. It’s a deliberate practice, and it’s one you can learn.

Join me and my guest Parker Hewes of the Getting Gooder Project as we explore ways that we can teach ourselves to be happy. Whether rich or poor, old or young, anyone can apply these tips regardless of their circumstances.

Listen in and learn how to be just a little (or a lot) more happy."
