Is self-help real or nonsense? Jason and Peter have always been skeptical of the ability for self-help books and seminars to impact and improve a person’s life…they even delved into the comedic aspects of the self-help world with their 2001 ABC sitcom “Bob Patterson.”

So, when they discovered that Judd Apatow…uber successful screenwriter, producer, noted comedian, author and director of a myriad of cultural-defining comedies such as The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, This is 40, Funny People, Trainwreck and The King of Staten Island was a bit obsessed with the self-help genre… they needed to find out why!

They discuss Judd’s journey to self-help, his unique Ayahuasca experience, and why he writes his comedies as dramas! Really,no Really!!!

To be successful in business you need to be tough, unrelenting, ruthless…a shark, right? That’s why one of the most successful shows about business is called, “Shark Tank”! But is there a kinder way to dominate the corporate world?

Daniel Lubetzky created his self-made-multi-billions with one overriding agenda – to foster connection, understanding and most importantly, to promote kindness between people who are in conflict. Best known as the founder of KIND Snacks…in this episode he discusses how he almost made a $200 million dollar mistake, what it took to make Kind a successful brand, and his many charitable businesses, where his focus is empowering people to work across social divides, and to create real and lasting relationships.

AND…this kind man, is also the newest member of NBC’s, Shark Tank. Really no really!

A violent undiagnosed aneurysm should have killed Sebastian Junger, a war reporter, a best-selling author, and an Academy Award winning documentarian. Junger came as close as anyone we know to dying, but he returned from the abyss and reveals what it was like.

For years Jason and Peter have heard about so-called NDE’s – near-death experiences where the clinically dead - miraculously resuscitated - come back to life with eerily familiar stories. Whether it’s long-dead relatives speaking to them from the afterlife, or encountering an enormous tunnel, illuminated by a brilliant, welcoming light…. are these stories evidence of a “Great Beyond”, or simply wild spasms of a dying brain? After Junger’s NDE, he launched an investigation and uncovered a possible third answer that may expand our understanding of the universe itself. Really, no really.

***

IN THIS EPISODE:

• The visions he saw that changed his conception of the universe.
• Who encouraged him toward the void?
• What causes similar near-death experiences… God or spasms of a dying brain?
• Panpsychism: A scientific explanation of a possible and universal post-life existence.
• Anxiety, derealization & depression, why Sebastian Junger doubted he was alive.
• He was an atheist…now?
• Jason and Peter share their out of body experiences.
• Googleheim: Other things we just can’t know.
