This week Colette has a very special guest, Dennis Prager, Author and Radio Personality, co-founder of PragerU, a nationally syndicated radio talk show host and columnist. An author of nine books, his most recent publication is a multi-volume commentary on the Torah called The Rational Bible.

A Fellow at Columbia University’s School of International Affairs, where he did graduate work at the Middle East and Russian Institutes, he was appointed by President Ronald Reagan to the U.S. Delegation to the Vienna Review Conference on the Helsinki Accords, and by President George W. Bush to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council. He holds an honorary doctorate of law from Pepperdine University.

A highly sought-after speaker and frequent cable news show guest, Dennis has lectured all over the world. He is known as one of America's most respected conservative thinkers.

In this episode Colette and Dennis talk about choosing to be happy and the necessity for gratitude. But this conversation is so much more, Dennis shares his thoughts on our recent generation and why they are statistically the most depressed generation and what needs to be done to change this.

He shares a personal story about his son to make a point that stepping out of the victim mindset is the path to a happier life.

And what we need to teach our children is self-control first which will lead to self-esteem.

There's so much here!
