Episode 93 – A Mind Changed Against Its Will

Who would have ever thought that there might be anything in common between Dale Carnegie training and Jewish kabbalism? Well, if there is any connection, you can count on Atley Jonas to find it! This episode of Happy Road presents a very practical way to avoid arguments and debates, and win people to your way of thinking, thanks to Benjamin Franklin, and a hardened lumber inspector. Then, if you’re looking to get that coveted thigh gap that’s so popular nowadays, you might want to listen to this week’s Let’s Get Physical segment.

Show Notes:

There’s a lot of preparation that goes into making sure everything is kosher for Passover. Especially in Israel, where even zoo animals are expected to be observant. Philly.com gives some insight into the elaborate rituals that mark this annual holiday.

This week’s musical selection (see below for a link to the Harvard Klezmer band site), is Kallarash Freylekhs, from the album Sketches of Freylekhland. The entire album is downloadable from the site, and is also released under a CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 USA license.

The bulk of this week’s main theme (aside from Malkuth), comes from Dale Carnegie’s classic book, How to Win Friends and Influence People. Follow the link if you haven’t yet gotten your own copy of this invaluable resource. And if you have the time and money, (or work for a company that does), Dale Carnegie Training may be another awesome way to learn some of the time-tested techniques that I mentioned on today’s show.

Here’s a short vid featuring Lou Trainer, saying exactly what I talked about on today’s show. It’s not a professionally filmed clip or anything, but this guy knows what he’s talking about, and the technique he presents for squats and Romanian dead-lifts are spot-on!

 

 

 

 

 

As an additional note on this — an after-thought if you will, I did think of ONE good possible reason why someone might want to use the adductor / abductor machine. That would be, as part of a rehabilitation program, as directed by a physiotherapist, in order to achieve a very specific form of strengthening in a very specific part of the body. But for the rest of us, it’s not something that will provide much benefit.
