The Jason Wright Show

Sr. Aide to Henry Kissinger, Winston Lord was asked to prepare a speech for Kissinger. Upon completion he handed it to his boss. Contacting his boss a little later for feedback Kissinger replies, “Are you sure this is the best you can do? Lord replies “Henry, I thought so, but I’ll try again.” Lord then goes back to the drawing board, tweaks, revises and resubmits another a draft a few days...

Each of us face obstacles and struggles. Each of us have been given a life and mind to determine what to make of it. In this chapter Giovanni must begin to decide to whom does the stone and more importantly his life ultimately belong? As Viktor Frankl said, “If one can’t change their circumstances, one must change themself.”

So that has proven to be one of the dumbest most backward things I have ever said in my life. It turns out not only is marriage the best thing that has ever happened to me, it is good for others as well. Married couples live longer, have less strokes and are happier on the whole than those who are not. There is also many other ancillary benefits to marriage. However, with the redefinition of..well...

We’ve all made them-the proverbial Ben Franklin pros vs. cons list. However, these really aren’t all that effective. The reason is because they tend to be clouded by our self fulfilling prophecies. We want what we want, and as a result we tend to not be very objective when making these lists. We will ‘yea but’ a con off the list because of our inside information. We know we...

So my boy Josh Tomlin stopped in today to discuss what’s going on with the boys of October. We also covered such topics as the proper etiquette when shaking hands and the value of a well executed bro hug. As always the conversation was fun, lively and complete with stupidity. Just like Josh and I. Enjoy the show! #MLB #JoshTomlin #BroHug

Many studies have explored the association between gratitude and depression, but no meta-analysis has been reported. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to fill that gap. The meta-analysis synthesized the association in 70 reported effect sizes from 62 published and unpublished articles, involving a total of 26,427 child, adolescent, and adult participants. The studies were completed by differen...

I’ve mentioned before ‘The Stone Chiseler’ was inspired by Viktor Frankl’s ‘Man’s Search for Meaning.’ One of my favorite quotes of Frankl’s is “Between action and reaction is space.” We all have a choice to determine how we react in any circumstance. Granted sometimes it is much harder than others. However, if we can master this ‘s...

I am a recovering fixed mindset sufferer. For years I was so much more worried about performance and how others perceived me I let it limit jobs I took, opportunities I pursued you name it. I was so worried that if I failed at something, it would mean I was a failure and that’s how others would see me. However, since adopting a growth mindset much of that has changed. I now attempt things th...

Mastering, Dealing With NOT Eliminating Fear Fear can be crippling. I have dealt with fears my whole life. As a result I’ve been less than a good friend and mate. I’ve been less than a good co-worker. I’ve jumped ship from jobs as a result of fears. Mark Twain once said, “Courage is the resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.” Fear will always exist....

D., is a neuroscientist and tenured Professor in the Depar...

Peak performance coach and renowned Sports Psychologist Michael Gervais has said as many as 90% of championships are decided by the athletes self talk and mindset. In this chapter GIovanni is faced with a paramount decision. Will he accept his identity as a lowly stone chiseler? Or will he begin to...

THREE POWERFUL QUESTIONS, THE UNDENIABLE POWER OF SLEEP AND MORE Voltaire once said, “Judge a man not by his answers but the quality of his questions.” As I’ve grown older the more sense this quote makes to me. Often the best answers only come from the best questions. In this episode I challenge you as well as myself to answer three questions. What are you doing that you know you...

Vagabonding on The Jason Wright Show with Mitchell Cohen Have you ever thought of selling your belongings, storing the little bit you keep then hopping a plane to some exotic destination with not plan to return?

Monday’s Mission on The Jason Wright Show-Marcus Aurelius The definition of what is evil seems to be a moving target these days. It seems we are predisposed to meet people who have decided what once was a mistake, off handed remark or joke is now a trafficking evil. Former Roman Emperor and Stoic Marcus Aurelius had something to say about his we can learn from today. He wrote in Meditations:...

The Wrights and Quandahls It has been a weird but I choose to say great week. In this episode I discuss Pod Movement’s cowardly and pathetic apology for allowing one of the single most successful and important figures in digital media to attend their conference.

The Jason Wright Show I like Sam Harris. I find him interesting, and my boy has wicked smarts. However, even the brightest amongst us can have very very bad ideas. Sam is in the news today for an interview he did on the Triggernametry Podcast. Essentially he said, it was ok to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story lest it usher in a second term for Donald Trump. As is often the case on such issues...
