Caloroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:13.839
Hello and welgome through palace intrigue. I am your host,

3
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:17.519
Mark Francis. Prince Harry is reportedly reeling from what inside

4
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:20.519
as are calling a deeply personal snub by actor John Travolter,

5
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.800
a blow that underscores the Duke and Duchess of Sussex

6
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:27.359
increasingly strained standing in Hollywood's In a Circle. The pair,

7
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:30.280
once seen as rising stars in celebrity society, are said

8
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:34.240
to be nursing wounded pride after Travolter, long admired by Harry,

9
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:36.759
not least for his famous nineteen eighty five dance with

10
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:40.640
Princess Diana, appeared to distance himself from the couple. Travolta

11
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:43.399
and Harry had struck up a warm friendship in recent years,

12
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:46.840
culminating in Harry's twenty twenty three induction as a Living

13
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:51.960
Legend of Aviation, an honor Travolter personally presented, but the

14
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:56.119
dynamic shifted when Travolter began publicly praising actor Britney Spears.

15
00:00:56.119 --> 00:01:00.679
Ex sam Ashgari on social media confused by that, but

16
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:02.560
it seems that Harry felt left out and that Travolter

17
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:05.040
is ignoring him so if you're listening now and on Instagram,

18
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:08.280
be sure to tag Harry on all your mentions. However, recently,

19
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:10.439
Harry feels like Dravolter is ignoring him, and his fears

20
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:12.599
came true when he dropped the Instagram post with Britney

21
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:15.920
Spears ex Sam and Inside had said that Harry doesn't

22
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:18.239
have an issue with Sam personally, it just made it

23
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:20.519
painfully clear that John still makes time for others, just

24
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:24.519
not for him anymore. According to sources cited by Radar Online,

25
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:27.840
Harry felt sidelined, reportedly telling a friend it feels like

26
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:31.280
yet another opportunity has been taken away someone I genuinely

27
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:35.280
relied on. Attempts by Harry to reconnect have gone unanswered,

28
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:39.079
with one insider bluntly declaring the friendship is dead. Sources

29
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:42.159
add Harry's deeply suspicious that William is turning people against him,

30
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:45.719
and this only fuels that anxiety he's been saying. He

31
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:47.640
wants to call John directly and ask him to be

32
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:50.799
honest about what's really going on. Meghan is also said

33
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:53.439
to be disappointed. Travolta had been seen as a potential

34
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.400
ally for the couple's brand, especially as Meghan prepares to

35
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:59.959
grow her lifestyle label as ever, but with Travolta keeping

36
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:03.400
distance and only a handful of celebrities backing the couple publicly,

37
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:07.640
the Sussex's A list circle appears to be narrowing. Adding

38
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.560
to Harry's unease is a belief that his brother, Prince

39
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:14.199
William may be quietly influencing these shifting loyalties. Harry's deeply

40
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:17.199
suspicious that William is turning people against him, said a source.

41
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:21.080
It's fueling is anxiety. As their Hollywood alliance is cool,

42
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.280
the Sussex's may be facing the hard truth of fame

43
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:26.919
in Los Angeles. Loyalty isn't guaranteed, even if your mother

44
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:32.080
once danced with Danny Zuko. Meghan might want to put

45
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:34.759
out a podcast or release more fruit Speak because the

46
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:37.719
tabloids need something to write about and another overblown story.

47
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:40.840
Prince Harry is totally whipped by Meghan Markle and King

48
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:43.639
Charles knows it. According to royal commentator es to crack You.

49
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:47.199
Speaking to The suncrag You claimed it's well known in

50
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:49.599
royal circles of the Duke of Sussex's firmly under his

51
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:52.599
wife's influence. She said, we know that King Charles said

52
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:56.000
something about him being whipped. Fresh revelations from Royal biographer

53
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:59.639
Sally Bedell Smith have ignited a storm of controversy, with

54
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.960
claim Queen Elizabeth the Second harbored serious doubts about Meghan

55
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:06.520
Margle long before the Sussex's stepped back from royal duties.

56
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.759
Speaking on The Son's Royal Exclusive show, Royal commentator Phil

57
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:14.919
Dampier described the allegations as dynamite, suggesting they confirm long

58
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:17.639
held suspicions that Meghan viewed Prince Harry as a stepping

59
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:21.879
stone rather than a life partner. Dampier emphasized the credibility

60
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:24.879
of Biddell Smith's account, noting her close ties to Lady

61
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:29.039
Elizabeth Anson, a cousin and confidante of the Queen. According

62
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:33.080
to beddel Smith's substack feature Royal's Extra Lady Elizabeth relayed

63
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:35.479
that the Queen once remarked Harry was possibly besotted and

64
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.280
a bit weak, and feared he was being manipulated. The

65
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:41.639
Queen had initially welcomed Meghan warmly, but that enthusiasm reportedly

66
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.599
gave way to concern and disappointment. Harry has blown his

67
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:47.719
relationship with his grandmother Lady Elizabeth said, reflecting on what

68
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:50.879
she saw as a growing rift. The late Queen was

69
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:53.360
said to be especially unsettled by Meghan's behavior in the

70
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:56.039
lead up to the couple's twenty eighteen wedding, including a

71
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:58.960
reported refusal to disclose details of her dress and a

72
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.400
last minute request to have the Archbishop of Canterbury officiate

73
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.520
by passing royal protocol and the authority of the Dean

74
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:09.080
of Windsor. These are not trivial matters in palace circles,

75
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.439
said Dampia, adding to have this confirmed by someone so

76
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:16.079
close to the Queen as really dynamite. Fellow commentator Esther

77
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:19.920
Craguwe agreed, pointing to a recurring pattern in the allegations

78
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:23.160
surrounding Meghan. She noted that while Meghan was embraced by

79
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:26.160
much of the public and the palace early on, cultural

80
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:28.240
and class differences may have played a role in the

81
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:31.560
eventual fallout. I think in some ways Meghan thought she

82
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:34.199
was marrying a billionaire that was marrying a millionaire with

83
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:34.959
like sort of.

84
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:36.439
A reduced status.

85
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:40.000
Lady Elizabeth, who died in twenty twenty, reportedly told Buddel

86
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:43.199
Smith that Meghan had been not bad in the early days,

87
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:47.160
but had grown increasingly difficult and demanding, even allegedly earning

88
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:51.920
the nickname me Gain among Pallace staff. She sees things

89
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:54.319
in a different way, Lady Elizabeth said in twenty eighteen,

90
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:58.519
foreshadowing the couple's eventual break with the firm. By twenty nineteen,

91
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:01.480
her tone had hardened further. I don't trust Megan an Inch.

92
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:04.720
The biographer also record how tensions between the brothers had

93
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:08.519
become a matter of quiet concern inside the Palace. The

94
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:09.240
wedge between the.

95
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:11.399
Brothers is really too bad, Lady.

96
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:19.279
Elizabeth lamented, more Palace in just a moment. Our new

Controversy launches tomorrow. We'll see you there. From time to time,

115
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:19.519
we like to see what the other royal houses are

116
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:22.680
up to. In Sweden, elite bodyguards are facing a wave

117
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:25.800
of scrutiny, and not from foreign spies but from their

118
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:30.240
own fitness trackers. According to a Swedish newspaper, members of

119
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:33.839
the country's security services uploaded more than fourteen hundred workouts

120
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:37.480
to the popular Strava app between twenty fifteen and July

121
00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:41.079
twenty twenty five, among them roughly seventy logs connected to

122
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.920
King Carl the sixteenth gustav and Queen Sylvia revealing the

123
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:48.560
locations of their secret holidays, including a private island in

124
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:51.480
the Seychelles, the mountain village of Storlion and most recently

125
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:54.920
a luxury villa on the French Riviera visited in June.

126
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:57.279
The data was so precise that their movements could have

127
00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:00.519
been tracked in real time. The hotel was confirmed the

128
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:03.000
royals had indeed stayed at the listed properties. They also

129
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:05.600
stressed that they were bound by confidentiality and could not

130
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:09.519
comment further. The security breach raises serious questions about operational

131
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:13.560
protocols and how seemingly mundane digital habits composed very real

132
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:18.519
risks to national figures. Meanwhile, Queen Maxima and the Dutch

133
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:21.079
royal family are facing a deeply troubling mystery as one

134
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:25.040
of their most trusted staff members, Carlos and Capeachin, has

135
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:27.439
now been missing for every month in the rugged wilderness

136
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:31.319
of Patagonia, and Capinchin had been a devoted caretaker of

137
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:35.759
the royal family's residents in Villa La Angustura, Argentina, home

138
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:40.160
close to Queen Maxima's heart given her Argentine roots, known

139
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:42.360
and respected in the local community, he was lasting in

140
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:45.399
June thirteenth after crossing into Chile to visit family and

141
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:49.519
inspect construction sites. His disappearance has since sparked a wide

142
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:52.560
scale search involving local police via fighters in the army,

143
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:56.360
but with no trace of the man himself. Authorities discovered

144
00:07:56.360 --> 00:08:00.319
and Capitchin's truck abandoned in a remote wooded area, observed

145
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:03.160
and containing clothing, boots, and tools. Police believe it's unlikely

146
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:06.439
he disappeared voluntarily, as he left behind his belongings and

147
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:10.439
made no farewells to his family. As the search entered

148
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:14.040
its fifth week with no new leads, questions remained unanswered,

149
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:19.480
and after decades of legal wrangling and public controversy, Germany

150
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:23.000
has reached a landmark settlement with the House of hohen Zolen,

151
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:27.480
descendence of the country's last Emperor, Wilhelm the Second. The agreement,

152
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:30.160
signed in June twenty twenty five, ends the royal family's

153
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:33.679
long and often contentious effort to reclaim properties and millions

154
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:36.759
in compensation for the palaces and possessions lost after World

155
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:40.720
War II. George Frederick, Prince of Prussia, withdrew those financial

156
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:44.879
claims in twenty twenty three, clearing the way for negotiations. Now,

157
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:48.840
a new nonprofit, the hohen Zolen Art Foundation, will manage

158
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:54.000
around three thousand cultural objects from furniture and silverware to artworks,

159
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:56.080
most of which will remain on public display in major

160
00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:59.960
German museums, including the German Historical Museum and the Prussian

161
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:04.559
Palaces and Gardens Foundation. The resolution also closes the book

162
00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:07.120
on whether the family deserved restitution at all, a debate

163
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.000
driven by Crown Prince wilhelms documented ties to the Nazi regime.

164
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:14.840
The historians remain divided on whether his support was significant.

165
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:18.360
The law barred at restitution for Nazi collaborators, one reason

166
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:21.120
the case dragged on for years. In the end, it's

167
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:24.320
the public who benefits. Germany keeps its cultural treasures and

168
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:29.759
the owen Zoln's get a carefully curated legacy minus the lawsuits.

169
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:32.799

leave us a nice rebus. You're joining the show and

173
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:43.559
Mark Francis thanks to John McDermott. This is Palace Intrigue

174
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:50.080
and good terms. The following is a paid presentation of

175
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:51.919
the Happiness Experiment.

176
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:55.440
Our sister, I'm going to bring forward and yours and

177
00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:58.039
give it to you now. And he said, oh wow,

178
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:00.559
that's great, thank you, that's so general. So you, Carl,

179
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:04.720
that's great. But his wife, my sister in law, went ballistic.

180
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:09.080
She said, this is too much money, this is wrong.

181
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:11.519
I don't want anything to do with and stormed out

182
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:14.240
of the room. And I thought, well, that's not what

183
00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:15.240
I expected.

184
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:16.279
Oh my god.

185
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:19.320
So I realized from that that this was not an

186
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:22.600
easy thing to do. So I learned a lesson from that,

187
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:26.440
and I knew that I had to do this authentically.

188
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:28.799
I had to do it right, otherwise it was not

189
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:31.000
going to work. So that happened.

190
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.519
And then the third thing that happened was that I

191
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:36.200
was looking at my financial statements and I had more

192
00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:38.480
money there than I was really using.

193
00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:39.320
It was sitting there.

194
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:41.879
I mean, it was growing, making profits and so forth,

195
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:44.519
but it wasn't being used. I wasn't using it for me.

196
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:46.960
I wasn't using it for things that I really cared about,

197
00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:49.080
not for my people. So I thought, well, if I

198
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:51.440
have all this money now, why should I wait until

199
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:51.919
I die?

200
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:53.960
Why don't I bring it forward?

201
00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:56.200
And then it was a long process for me to

202
00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:58.600
come around to that, but that's what finally started this,

203
00:10:58.679 --> 00:10:59.919
and I said, well I'll do it now.

204
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.399
Let's back up just a bit. Tell us a little

205
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:06.519
bit about your new book. What is the Happiness Experiment.

206
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:11.080
Well, this is a recording of the real events with

207
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:15.360
real people who I decided that I would bring forward

208
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:18.279
the inheritance the money I had for them in my

209
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:21.000
will and made it a prequest. So it was a

210
00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:23.919
chunk of money that they were going to get while

211
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:25.639
they were still young enough to enjoy it. And I

212
00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:29.000
was still alive to see it happening. So I saw

213
00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:32.879
what they were doing. So when I sat down with them,

214
00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:36.440
I talked about money and happiness and how one can magnect.

215
00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:38.320
And I said, look, I'm going to bring this forward

216
00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:41.080
to give it to you, but what I want from

217
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:45.080
you is a plan so you use this money, so

218
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:47.120
it's really a big benefit for you. I don't want

219
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:49.960
this to overwhelm you. And they said what kind of plan?

220
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.039
I said, I want a happiness plan, and they said,

221
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:53.440
a happiness plan?

222
00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:54.000
What's that?

223
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:57.600
So, you know, nobody has seems to have a happiness plan,

224
00:11:58.000 --> 00:11:59.960
but it's one of the most important plans you can get,

225
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:01.639
and it doesn't have to be very complex. What is

226
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:04.399
it that makes you happy? What values do you want

227
00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:06.840
to pursue? You know, what goals and dreams do you

228
00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:09.480
have and you can pursue them? And so I got

229
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:11.960
them to write a happiness plan. And then when I

230
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:14.240
saw the plan, I gave them all the money all

231
00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:17.000
at one time, and so then they took it and

232
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:19.879
I watched them with their plan. I saw all their plans,

233
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:23.440
what they did, and how they became happier, and so

234
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:25.759
you know, that had to be written about so because

235
00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:28.559
I wanted other people to see what they did so

236
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:30.600
they too could do the same thing.

237
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:35.159
Which prequest is the most unique one you've come across.

238
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:39.840
Well, it was a very very painful and sad story

239
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:44.000
because two dear friends of mine had a beloved daughter

240
00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:47.000
and she was hit head on by a drunk driver

241
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:50.360
and killed. She happened to be eight months pregnant at

242
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:53.679
the time, so that killed the granddaughter too, and.

243
00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:55.960
Also their daughter.

244
00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:02.480
They were totally totally wiped out stated and they died emotionally.

245
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:05.759
They had decided that they could never be happy again.

246
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:08.360
They would be wrong to be happy. They didn't deserve

247
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:11.159
to be happy because their darling daughter had been killed.

248
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:17.519
Tremendously painful, awful, awful story. So they were grieving six

249
00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:20.879
years later, and I met with them, and I told

250
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:23.559
them how much they had added to my life and

251
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:26.480
how much I was so grateful to them, and that

252
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:29.240
I wanted to express the gratitude and I put them

253
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:31.320
in my will and they could accept that. And I said,

254
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:32.960
but I want you to have it now, and they said,

255
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:35.080
oh no, no, we can't accept it. They turned it down.

256
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:39.279
They turned it down. Well, we worked, and I said, look,

257
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:42.279
I'm leaving it open. So several months later, I think

258
00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:45.000
his wife persuaded him to do it. Actually, you know,

259
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:47.320
and you know, so they said, okay, we'll do it,

260
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:48.039
because I say, we're.

261
00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:49.960
Going to wait until you die, why not do it now?

262
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:50.519
And they did it.

263
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:53.360
And it wasn't the money interesting life, they said, it

264
00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:56.720
was the coaching that made the big difference, that changed

265
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:01.519
their mind their mindset from being so negative. You know,

266
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:04.360
we'll never be happy again. We don't deserve to be happy.

267
00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:08.480
And the coach turned there thinking that mindset around and said, look,

268
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:11.240
you know it can be you can be happy again.

269
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:14.440
And they started to get the mindset of happy people.

270
00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:17.399
And now you cannot believe what these people. They're traveling

271
00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:19.679
all over the world. They're in Tahiti right now. They

272
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:24.360
climbed Killimungarrett. These people are loving life and it was

273
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:27.039
a major change. That is one of the most heartfelt,

274
00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:31.279
wonderful results of the And in a sense she said,

275
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:35.279
the wife said, this prequest changed or saved my life

276
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:38.080
because we were no longer living, we were dead, and

277
00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:39.480
this brought us back to life.

278
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.799
Yeah, I mean dealing with grief and many of us

279
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.879
have I have. You know, when you're in those depths,

280
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:49.480
it's really it could be really difficult to find your

281
00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:51.799
way out of it, and you know, often it looks

282
00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:53.960
like there isn't a way out of it, and you know,

283
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:57.360
sometimes you want to map right, and it looks like

284
00:14:57.399 --> 00:15:00.080
this concept could be a good map for you if

285
00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:02.639
you're that It sounds like it was for these folks.

286
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:06.840
I always like to interviews by asking is there anything

287
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:09.320
that I didn't ask that I should have?

288
00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:16.240
How can my listeners benefit from this book? What should

289
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:19.120
they do? What would be good for them? And so

290
00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:23.440
I'll answer that question. First off, think about happiness. Think

291
00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:26.159
about being happiness. Do you you deserve to be happy?

292
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:28.879
And you can be happy, but you have to make

293
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:32.120
it as a choice. I'm going to increase my happiness

294
00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:36.559
just that if you make that realistically. I want to

295
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:39.960
and I'm going to increase my happiness that choice, and

296
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:42.320
then talk to people about it. Talk to a husband

297
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:45.279
or wife, or a girlfriend or a friend, a therapist

298
00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:47.639
or coach, talk to somebody about it and say, look,

299
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:50.600
I'm made the decision that i want to be happier,

300
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:53.000
and I'm like you to help me create a happiness

301
00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:54.519
plan and then.

302
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:55.120
Work on it.

303
00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:59.919
And it's not that hard, but it is. It is challenging,

304
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:03.559
but it's a wonderful exercise and if they do it,

305
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:06.720
I guarantee they will increase their happiness.

306
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:07.840
I guarantee it.

307
00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:12.120
Carl Barney is the author and the book is called

308
00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:17.039
The Happiness Experiment, A Revolutionary Way to Increase Happiness. Carl,

309
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:18.200

310
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:19.600
Wherever books are sold?

311
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:23.279
And it's now available for pre order from Amazon, and

312

they can pre order it there, and I hope they will.

314
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:31.559
Carl, thanks so much of the time. I really appreciate it.

315
00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:33.240
Yeah, thank you, Dan, It's been fun
