Show Notes

  • Why Jack felt he needed to write The Success Principles book.
  • “So here I am. I’ve sold millions of Chicken Soup for the Soul books. I’m living the life of Riley. All of a sudden I thought I had to share with people all these principles I’ve been applying.”
  • Where people look for success the most?
  • What does real success fell like?
  • “I used to say success was being able to produce whatever result you wanted in any area of your life, when you wanted it, as much as you wanted it. And now I say, success is fulfilling your soul’s purpose. So, whether you’re religious or spiritual or neither, you have some purpose. It’s built into you, “
  • “I can’t imagine not writing. It’s like asking a surfer, why do you keep surfing? It’s like asking a golfer, why do you keep golfing? Because I love doing to. If I stop loving it, I’ll stop doing it.”
  • How Dave and Jack use language and why they think it is important for them and their family.
  • Why “the ego” isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
  • “I think there’s another fear that if I engage in some of this, stuff might come up that’s painful that I don’t want to feel. A lot of the reasons we shut down these emotions and turn them into tension or pain in our body is because they were painful. “
  • Why Jack thinks everyone was born with a purpose.
  • Are Guardian Angels real?
  • “I don’t think there are things with wings flying around in the sky, but I do believe there are energetic forces that are on your side. “
