How Disappointing…

This podcast offers such good information about happiness but falls short of having integrity. The television show Survivor promotes deception, manipulation and unhealthy competition to win money at all cost. On one of the episodes, the host complimented a guest on their work on this television show. This is very concerning. I don’t understand how it is obvious to the host how contradictory this is to the aim of this podcast. Very disappointing.

Optimistic with interesting people

Paula brings on interesting guests who speak on interesting topics, like new books, music therapy, human feelings. It’s a lovely exploration of the things on people’s minds today. The optimism is wonderful.
