SPECIAL: The Three Deceivers

During the Christmas Sweater tour, as Glenn was traveling around the country, he was reading a book that at first glance he thought was going to hack him off. Turns out Glenn absolutely loved the book—it’s called The Three Deceivers by New York Times best selling author Richard Eyre. It takes a close look at the common things we put a high value on in life—things that on the surface seem fine (Control, Ownership, & Independence) —and then explains why they are actually getting in the way of happiness. How could those three things be bad? Richard explains in this interview with Glenn. Read the transcript. Insiders listen to the audio here.

Obama has selected a fancy new ‘climate’ czar to make sure temperatures don’t get too hot or too cold (or watch the weather channel? who knows). One tiny little problem with the pick, and this may be splitting hairs, but the new czar is a socialist. Read the transcript. Insiders listen to the audio here.
