Dr. Astro Teller is a computer scientist and entrepreneur who currently oversees Google[x], Google's moonshot factory. Dr. Danielle Teller is a physician specializing in intensive care and lung medicine; she has trained doctors and run research programs at Harvard University and the University of Pittsburgh. In this conversation — my first podcast with a couple — we cover a lot of my usual questions (favorite books, routines, philosophies of living, etc.) but focus on something I haven’t personally figured out: relationships. It's important to note that the Tellers are not “for” marriage but, rather, “for” the freedom to decide how to live most honestly and happily, whether as part of a couple or as a single person. Combining the rigor that has established them as leaders in their respective fields, Astro and Danielle walk me through how they think about relationships, and how they survive and thrive as two driven people.

Host Jonathan Fields sits down with author and entrepreneur Danielle Laporte and clinical psychologist Dr. Sue Johnson to discuss the importance of relationships and self-worth.
Life is a mixture of planning and wandering that comes with opportunities and events that cannot be planned on. The choices we make could be a confluence of events and opportunities, leading us to amazing destinations we never planned for.
The concept of true love does not always fit the reality of relationships. While not advocating against love, there are different types of love that require different commitments, and the narrative that true love exists as a prerequisite for marriage can be harmful.
Marriage isn't for everybody and being unhappily married is not better than being single. Society's pressure to get married and the emphasis on the magic of love during weddings are not what marriage is all about.
The decision to get married can be based on different reasons, but some tend to have better outcomes than others, especially when it comes to finding a partner to grow old with or have children.
The speaker shares his observation on how some men choose their partners based on certain types, similar to ordering a pizza. This phenomenon has become more evident with age and as more friends marry and have children.
The speaker talks about how managing conflict and setting expectations can help prevent relationship problems and divorce. She also speaks about a friend's experience with Tinder dating.
Respect and love for your partner prevent conflicts and hurt feelings in a relationship, and understanding each other's coping mechanisms can help avoid disagreements.
The speaker explores the balance between prioritizing between a spouse and children when dealing with conflict resolution and emphasizes the importance of not allowing children to divide the parents.
The factors that tend to cause happiness in people include a sense of gratitude, connection to other people, and caring for others. People have different happiness set points, and being single or in a relationship can bring happiness or unhappiness at different times.
The speaker's companion listens to and narrates podcasts while running, often doing a better job than the podcast itself. This allows for efficient consumption of a larger number of podcasts in a limited amount of time.
The speaker talks about finally upgrading to Pandora Pro after years of dealing with the "horrible ads" on the free version. For just $3 a month, he can now enjoy uninterrupted music on his playlists.
In this episode, a poet recommends his favourite books like The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman and Oscar and Lucinda by Peter Carey which he believes everyone should read at least once in their lifetime.
In this podcast, Tim Urban and Elon Musk discuss the future of humanity and how SpaceX will play a crucial role in colonizing Mars. They also touch upon the success of Tesla and the audacity that drives Musk's dreams.
Working in the intensive care unit gives medical professionals a unique perspective on how different people view and approach the end of life, causing them to adapt to their mindset. They deal with a diverse range of people from various cultural and societal backgrounds in some of the direst straits of their lives.
The fear death casts is making people miserable while chasing something they can never escape, instead they should learn to accept and make peace with it, so they can focus on living a happy and fulfilled life.
The speaker discusses how they measure their own success and how helping a family feel connected and unified was a successful experience. Additionally, the function of Google X is to identify important global problems and make them Google's problems to solve.
