“Filling Your Goodwill Jar: A New Way to Measure a Life” 👉 For more insights, check out the full book and audio summary here [https://app.7minutebooks.com/the-goodwill-jar-by-nick-o-rowe] 📖 📕 Transcript and audio of this episode is available here for free [https://www.7minutebooks.com/the-goodwill-jar-by-nick-o-rowe] Title: The Goodwill Jar Author: Nick O. Rowe Category: Motivation & Self-Improvement, Leadership & Team Building, Career Growth, Business Strategy What if you could measure your life not by what you accumulate, but by what you notice and share? Sam and Sophie sit with that question as they explore Nick O. Rowe's simple but powerful metaphor of a 'Goodwill Jar.' They walk through the five categories of deposits: noticing, giving, receiving, gratitude, and overcoming. Each one is a small, deliberate act that shifts your focus from scarcity to abundance. The pair shares personal examples, from pausing to appreciate the sky to accepting a compliment gracefully, and discuss how even setbacks can become deposits when you find the seed of growth in them. This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in the 'Scarcity Loop' of modern life, constantly focused on what they lack. The takeaway is freeing: a life full of small acts of noticing, giving, and overcoming is a life of immense value, and you can start with just one deposit a day. The Goodwill Jar by Nick O. Rowe.

How to Tell a Story by The Moth, Meg Bowles, Catherine Burns, Jenifer Hixson, Sarah Austin Jenness, Kate Tellers - Book Summary

“Why Your Stories Fall Flat — and How The Moth Fixes Them” 👉 For more insights, check out the full book and audio summary here [https://app.7minutebooks.com/how-to-tell-a-story-by-the-moth-and-meg-bowles-and-catherine-burns-and-jenifer-hixson-and-sarah-austin-jenness-and-kate-tellers] 📖 📕 Transcript and audio of this episode is available here for free [https://www.7minutebooks.com/how-to-tell-a-story-by-the-moth-and-meg-bowles-and-catherine-burns-and-jenifer-hixson-and-sarah-austin-jenness-and-kate-tellers] Title: How to Tell a Story Author: The Moth, Meg Bowles, Catherine Burns, Jenifer Hixson, Sarah Austin Jenness, Kate Tellers Category: Public Speaking & Communication, Writing, Language & Storytelling Why do some stories grab you and others just fade away? Sam and Sophie sit with that question, because the answer isn't about having a more dramatic life—it's about how you shape what already happened. They walk through The Moth's core principles: change is non-negotiable, stakes don't need to be life-or-death, and specificity beats abstraction every time. The pair break down the four-part structure—equilibrium, inciting incident, obstacles, new equilibrium—and show why vulnerability matters more than polish. A real-life example about a guy who gets hit by a baseball bat makes it all click. If you've ever told a story and watched eyes glaze over, this episode names what went wrong and gives you a fix. The takeaway: connection, not perfection, is the goal. How to Tell a Story by The Moth.

“Happiness Isn't a Feeling, It's a Practice” 👉 For more insights, check out the full book and audio summary here [https://app.7minutebooks.com/the-practicing-happiness-workbook-by-ruth-baer] 📖 📕 Transcript and audio of this episode is available here for free [https://www.7minutebooks.com/the-practicing-happiness-workbook-by-ruth-baer] Title: The Practicing Happiness Workbook Author: Ruth Baer Category: Mindfulness & Wellbeing, Motivation & Self-Improvement, Personal Growth, Psychology & Human Behavior What if happiness isn't a feeling you chase, but a skill you practice? Sam and Sophie sit with that question, because it flips everything we think we know about well-being on its head. They walk through Ruth Baer's ACT-based framework: dropping the rope in the tug-of-war with anxiety, the distinction between the thinking self and the observing self, and cognitive defusion as a way to unhook from negative thoughts. The pair also explore values as ongoing directions and the behavioral experiments that turn intention into action. If you've ever felt stuck in a cycle of fighting your own emotions, this episode offers a practical path to making peace with your inner experience.
