539: John Vespasian: The Rational Side to a Joyful Life

JOHN VESPASIAN is the author of seven books about rational living, including "When Everything Fails, Try This" (2009), "Rationality Is the Way to Happiness" (2009), "The Philosophy of Builders: How to Build a Great Future with the Pieces from Your Past" (2010), "The 10 Principles of Rational Living" (2012), "Rational Living, Rational Working: How to Make Winning Moves When Things Are Falling Apart" (2013), "Consistency: The Key to Permanent Stress Relief" (2014), and "On Becoming Unbreakable: How Normal People Become Extraordinarily Self-Confident" (2015).

I am very happy to introduce him to listeners of ZEN commuter.  His historical anecdotes explain perfectly how positive thinking alone does not contribute to a joyful life.  It also takes a rational mind and analytical approach.  Together, these tools allow a miraculous life.
