“When we zoom out and just kind of realize that just being alive is the ultimate gift, it really takes the pressure off of our daily routines.”
In this week’s episode of Look Up! I sat down with my friend Douglas Cartwright to discuss his new book, Holy Sh!t We’re Alive. In this episode we discuss how Doug broke away from his Mormon roots, became a millionaire, lost it all at a very young age just to build himself back up again. Doug talks to us about his journey of reinventions and how changing his perspective in life has brought back positivity and joy. We identify practical tips as well as high level ideas on happiness to reflect upon.
