It was in another of Jonathan Haidt's books (Coddling of the American Mind) that I first heard the saying, "Prepare the child for the road, not the road for the child." Today's episode focuses on just that, the roles of adversity and overcoming in our lives. You'll walk away with two principles and a Happiness Formula that will put your happiness within your grasp. As with anything worthy in life,...

Why is Instagram awesome? Among other reasons, because it deepened The Spaniard's interest in Marc Weinstein (who he first got to know through Spartan Race's podfest) as he observed Marc's uplifting energy and commitment to spirituality. Why is Netflix awesome? Among other reasons, because The Spaniard became even more interested in Marc when he saw him in the much-viewed documentary on the Fyre F...

The chapter I discuss on today's show is titled "The Faults of Others." It's very difficult to NOT judge other people, and I believe it is an ideal worthy of our utmost pursuit. Tune in to hear how our natural tendency to overrate and over justify ourselves can lead to problems.

Today, we begin an incredibly cool and insightful book that focuses on some of the primary big questions of our lives: happiness, morality and meaning. I've learned so much from author Jonathan Haidt, and I encourage you to follow his other works (podcasts, books). The Happiness Hypothesis dives into what makes us tick and how we can tip the scales toward happiness. This book is a collection of ph...

As we wrap up our time with Tara, I can't help but think of Muhammad Ali's quote, "The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life." Tara's is the story of Education, from deep within her soul. She does not view the world the same today as when she was younger, and I am a better, more empathetic and understanding person because I have read her story. I hi...

Hey, want to read a private text from The Spaniard? He sent this out after interviewing today's guest, Kobi Yamada: "Check out live-inspired.com. The company is Compendium. The guy who runs it is an author of kids books. Awesome ones. This seems to be an ecosystem of feel-goodness. A manifestation (in the form of solid goods) of the idea of living inspired." That message nails it, because inspirat...

Today's episode of AMXbooks shows us that no matter where we start, we have the potential to go far, as we see Tara traveling around the world and self-reflecting on her journey. We also learn a deep truth about history, one that is empowering to each and every one of us.

Have you ever been absolutely 100% certain about something, only to begin questioning yourself? Maybe it was something that happened last week or when you were a kid. Maybe you perceived a conversation one way, and were positive that was the only way, only to question yourself shortly thereafter? On today's show, we see how the manipulation of people and family history drives Tara to her breaking...

We're back with the second book in the Way of the Warrior Kid series. Marc's Uncle Jake returns for another summer to help Marc handle the challenges he is facing, namely with the bully Nathan James.

It's always great when you can link together great books and minds. On today's show, I connect Tara's traveling revelations with something I recently heard on one of Trevor Noah's Netflix specials. We also touch on Tara's not-connection with her family vs the connections she realizes abroad.

The gold within you, Positive and Negative Liberty and the "animating surge of adrenaline" Tara feels upon learning about feminism are the topics in today's conversation. As you listen and go on in your day, let us not forget those who have fallen in the service of our country. Let's honor their memories. Have a great Memorial Day, everyone.

On today's show, we explore good people helping good people. Sometimes, it can feel like your hard work and perseverance can go for nought, but Tara experiences help and encouragement from outside sources that help keep her going.

This episode could be a drinking game! Not that we're recommending that … Just sayin' that the Spaniard and his guest Jon Fitch keep finding commonalities in their paths: college wrestling careers that ended just when they were starting to figure things out … moving away from being a school teacher … thorough journaling that helped lead to a book … frequently feeling out of step with others … turn...

One of the most profound principles or truths I've found in my readings and life: Only you can save you. It's in many books, and it certainly is in this one, too. It took Tara a long time to realize this, and not without struggle, but she is convicted to "live in [her] own mind", not that of others. We also touch on the power our loved ones can have over us. It's another powerful episode on AMXboo...
