Machines can’t care. Sure, they can fake it but they don’t feel it. Your human heart has no artificially made equal. It just doesn’t! Consider the wisdom and the courage and the love resting within it. Please, polish (and honor) this. I'm truly super excited over the upcoming release of my new book The Robot and the Gardener: Being Fully Human in an Artificial Age (Penguin Random House). It's a parable and it's different (by far!) from any book I've ever written. You can join the list here if you'd like to be among the first to receive any updates.

Today podcast episode will offer you some very powerful tools that will really help you
upgrade your leadership, productivity, creativity, performance, and happiness. So you're
going to love these three new tools I'm going to share with you. And these come from my
coaching methodology. And I've been sharing these tools with the clients that I mentor.
So the starting premise is really this too many good souls have these holes within us that
we are trying to fill from outer things. But a key principle I want you to really think about
is nothing on the outside will ever make you feel better on the inside. I'm going to repeat
that again because it's so important. Nothing on the outside will ever make you feel better
on the inside. So if you think you if you have more money, a bigger house, nicer car,
better handbag, better shoes, bigger watch that. Those things will make you feel happier
than you're just hypnotizing yourself. And society has done a nice job of really hard
wiring that kind of philosophy into our mentality. So how do you feel any holes inside of
you so you feel this wonderful joy that is your birthright and that is who you truly are
under the layers of doubt, fear, disbelief. Well, you start the process of working on
yourself. I'm going to give you three tools that will really help you upgrade that inner
wellbeing, that inner inspiration and that joyfulness that I really, really, really, really want
for you. When you light up yourself, we light up the world. So number one, the first tool
is the 15 minute morning walk method, the 15 minute morning walk method. I don't
evangelize a daily one hour walk. That's great, but just do 15 minutes if possible. Get out
to nature. There are chemicals in the air. Or let's call them the plants and flowers. Release
materials that release neurochemicals that make you feel happier, make you feel
healthier. You get oxygen, get 15 minutes of exercise. It's a simple tool. It'll promote your
creativity and if possible, while you're walking. Notice. Notice the nature or notice the
sky. Notice the sunshine. Don't be in your head because you want to bring more delight
into your life. Number two the second tool. This is the two phone solution. The clients
I've been mentoring absolutely love this. They've been reporting huge gains in their
productivity and their focus and their happiness. Simply this you have a you have your
main phone with all your apps, notifications, social feeds. Got it. But you have a second
Spartan phone that basically just is a phone. And you turn it off whenever you want. No
apps can check the weather, can't check your social feeds, can't watch videos of people
doing the cha cha. It's a quiet phone that allows you to do real work. Third tool the Daily
Delight Diary. Gratitude is great. The light is even better. You want to be someone who
feels the delight, the enchantment, the mystery, the exquisite beauty of your life. Not just
grateful. Grateful is good. We know that it releases dopamine and the neuro regulator,
said Tonin. But you want to be in the delight business.
