In 2018, I interviewed\xa0Bryan Falchuk, author of\xa0Do a Day: How to Live a Better Life Everyday.\xa0What struck me about Bryan was how his lowest-life moment, became his redefining inspiration. Here\u2019s what he had to say, \u201cI walked into our room and my wife\u2019s in bed, my son\u2019s standing there and he\u2019s looking at his mother who\u2019s dying in front of his eyes and he turns and looks at me and it all smacked me in the face. It\u2019s like, \u2019what are you doing? You\u2019re failing her. You\u2019re failing him.
And I\u2019m feeling \u2018why do I have to have such a miserable life,\u2019 everything\u2019s falling apart and somehow I\u2019m still standing and I\u2019m not homeless and I\u2019m not, missing a limb or, some other much more extreme thing. So maybe it\u2019s not as bad as I always am so insistent that it is and all that just hit me in that moment.\u201d
