Untangle

Today we're exploring why our obsession with speed, productivity, and always being on time may actually be keeping us from living fully and meaningfully.
Our guest is Alex Snider, author of Sometimes You Should Be Late: The Quiet Rebellion of Slowing Down in a World Obsessed with Speed.. After a life-changing bike accident left him with a traumatic brain injury, Alex was forced to slow down—and what began as recovery evolved into a profound shift in how he understands mindfulness, our relationship to time, and the way we move through life.
In this conversation, we discuss the hidden costs of urgency and an urgency culture, how slowing down creates more compassion and better relationships, and why being emotionally present may matter more than being perfectly punctual.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed by back-to-back meetings, endless to-do lists, or the pressure to optimize every minute, this episode offers a refreshing—and practical—new perspective.

What if many of today's most common health problems—from digestive issues and inflammation to stress and fatigue—could be addressed by reconnecting with circadian rhythms that humans have followed for thousands of years?
Today I sit down with Dr. John Douillard, globally recognized leader in the fields of Ayurveda, natural health, nutrition, and sports medicine to explore the ancient science of Ayurveda and how its principles are supported by modern research. He’s most well known for integrating traditional Indian healing with modern medicine and nutrition science.
Dr. Douillard explains how seasonal eating, digestive health, breathing techniques, and daily lifestyle habits influence everything from our microbiome and immune system to our energy, mood, and longevity. He also challenges some of today's most popular nutrition trends, including the widespread avoidance of wheat and the obsession with high-protein diets.
Whether you're struggling with digestive issues, looking for natural ways to improve your health, or simply curious about what ancient healing systems can teach us today, Dr. Douillard offers lot’s of practical tools and a fresh perspective on how we can stay healthy throughout our lives.

This was such a fun interview — our encore guest today is Dr. Robert Waldinger, a Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, a practicing Psychiatrist, Zen Master and author of the book The Good Life, Lessons from the Worlds Longest Scientific Study on Happiness. This study, which began in 1938, reveals what it takes to build a good life. What does that exactly mean, I wondered…fulfilling, satisfying, meaningful, happy? All of it. There's no one size fits all. BUT…the one thing that was consistent? Relationships. All kinds of relationships. The quality of the social connections that we make throughout our lives means everything. He says…Human connection is our superpower. Good relationships help us get through life’s inevitable challenges, and they keep us happier and healthier. and the research shows that they actually help us to live longer. Robert reminds us that we should pay attention to the things that we really care about…the things and people that energize us. AND pay attention to the things and people that deplete us. He shares the keystones of healthy relationships — things like safety security, emotional closeness, fun and relaxation, learning and growth…and there’s more.
Resources: The Good Life is available at all major booksellers.
