So very good and timely. I am heading toward my mid 60s and see so many changes ahead that are causing me fear. Looking forward to listening to this book. Praised be Jesus Christ!

Hey so did I Mid Sept!!!

Wow, exactly where I’m at right now, 42, just retired from the military after 20 years and just started a new job as an advisor to my previous organization! Although I will say that I think today’s military is good at utilizing the crystallized intelligence curve because I’ve been trained first and foremost as a leader, not just my day-to-day job. In the Air Force, once you’re in your 40s/50s, (Lt Col and Col) you’re not doing the job that the younger officers are but you’re the leader of the organization. You are guiding and mentoring the younger generation and (hopefully) making the sounder decisions. Great video, thank you! God bless!

So interesting because I switched careers in my late 40's and now approaching 60. It's been a constant process of learning new concepts, new systems, new technologies. And I find I am usually ahead of my younger peers in terms of enthusiasm, learning and applying new information and technology, generating new ideas, identifying problems and proposing solutions. What I am less interested in is 'achievement' and 'getting ahead'. I am no longer driven to 'achieve'. My ego has taken a backseat to enjoying the ride and putting work in its proper perspective.

This is amazing. This morning I was thinking that if my husband passes before I do, I would join a convent. Food for thought. Love your show and Mr. Brooks’ book!

Before this even gets going, that idea of having the physical book and the audio book and reading while you are listening is brilliant! I am mildly dyslexic, (mostly grew out of it). I can read, but read slow. Which is frustrating as my brain runs fast. Audio book, here I come! Thank you!

[@br.patrickreilly8556]

I did that and it was so helpful!

True happiness lies one step beyond your ego and most people never get there. Everyone wants and seek happiness and all, but very few, want it on their own terms. Most of my choices (maybe all) have me at the center of their outcome and as I never really get beyond that and I am left to wonder why I'm not happy. Those who live solely on their own terms find two things converge: unhappiness and boredom.

[@mariac4602]

Oh, and Chris's book on Joy....best book ever!! My husband and I have bought and shared multiples copies of this book for many people.

[@joolz5747]

One thing I like about this guy is that he just doesn’t say I am on a narrow path only Catholic nothing else. I don’t want any other information. I just want to stay with one thing. We can gather wisdom from all over the place even people who aren’t Catholic or Christian as he shows us. I totally agree with that. Because every time I hear other stuff, it enhances, my knowledge of the lord, Jesus, even more and I do become a better Catholic. Absolutely true. But I would want to know my face first and be very cemented in it and then I can re-search and that’s what I’ve done in my life. I will never leave my face, but I am expounding on it with other information. Thank you.

[@patriciahutchenszimmerman9357]

Arthur Brooks reminds me of Thomas Merton. I love it. "The World's Religions" by Huston Smith is a great read. But "I Know who I have Belived" and to whom I belong!!!

[@nitapalacios4968]

Wow, great topic! Thanks Chris! 😊

[@kjlako7298]

I loved this episode, so much packed in. Chris I enjoyed your example of OCD…I would love an episode on BFRBs an area of OCD…it is a challenging area but a gift and a cross at once but not talked about, but I bet there is someone with faith who could speak deeply on these areas. Such beauty in all your diverse topics, thank you for all your hard work Chris!

[@crisbarkman7817]

Great interview!! Thanks Chris

Yay, part 2 is here! ~ Benedicat tibi Deus✨🙏♥️

[@duncanstuartkeil5851]

awesome

[@punkybauer1]

I liked this. at first I wanted to be all negative and judgmental but really this is a real good video!

[@RosannaCRogacion]

Other popular Catholic KZbin hosts would call you and your guest demonic for being open to discussions about the value of the practices of other religions. God bless you both for being truly Catholic! And for being happy ones at that♥️

[@pole1108]

Interesting interview; would it be possible you display the timeline by chapters ? it will help immensely for us to go back and re listen those segments we are the most interested in. It will also help us sharing and your youtube stats on this video. …and a link to his book please. Thank you.

[@RealLifeCatholic]

@@pole1108 great suggestions. Noted!

[@Technical_debater]

I would argue that “decline” at work as one gets older is mostly due to the reality that the cumulative knowledge one has gained far exceeds the ability of the work environment to adopt or take advantage of this knowledge.

[@jdub3999]

Yes, Catholicism leads us on a lifelong journey of seeking wisdom. The Psalms seem to humble us in this way. The more I know, the less I know, in a beautiful struggle.

[@allenculbertson8170]

Nice work guys keep it up ❤

[@joolz5747]

This is really good wow

[@Eternallyhopeful7788]

Interesting conversation. ❤️‍🩹🙏❤️

[@tomparks6584]

I humbly submit that the prayer tradition of the Catholic Church is quite sufficient and one need not seek out the pagan philosophies of the east. St Francis de Sales has a lot to say about the 4 Last Things- Death, Judgement, Hell, Heaven. St Ignatius of Loyola alo. If you want to learn detachment, read St John of the Cross. God bless !

[@jdub3999]

Interesting conversation for a man who is 50.

[@SueBalger-qt3ew]

Arthur brooks is 60

[@jdub3999]

@@SueBalger-qt3ewI was actually talking about my age, I’m just very inarticulate. Because of your comment, I listened again. What an amazing conversation.
