Life Hacks: A Christmas Special (2025)

The greatest series on modern wisdom

The hack that I've gotten here that has the most positive impact on my life was getting two comforters one for me and one for partner. We both sleep way better.

Chris and Team, Thank you for not taking the easy sports betting money. It's noticed and appreciated. I can't walk to the corner without being beat over the head with a marketer from draft kings. You are among an elite few who haven't taken that money. Timtim is up there as well but rogan isn't. It's good to see some principle and hopefully you'll be rewarded in one way or another. Merry Christmas

Is it weird that I was looking forward to this all year long?

I get the feeling that, in spite of all Chris’ surreal achievements, this right here is the best of them all - still having his mates from his youth journeying through life together in adulthood. A true gift.

I highly, highly recommend people go back and watch these episodes. They are some of the earliest MW eps and in some ways, some of the best. I’ve taken so much from them

The more I listen, especially the one about unteachable lessons, I get full of gratitude. I make less than 50K a year, yet i have everything i ever wished for. I fullfiled every dream i had. Traveled to every continent, sailed in every sea, owned a yacht, own land and have a house who is 100% mine, not owing money to anyone. Most important, I have a wife and girl I love the most in the world, we are healthy, my job is great, not "fulfilling" but gives me flexibility to be with my family. My life is fulfilled, so im not in any need to look for "purpose" or look at my job as what defines me. Im not "rich" but i have all the richness the world has to offer. Im not perfect at any means, and each year i try to be a better man. Thats my personal goals, but i dont chase anything. I live, I am. Im feeling blessed. Happy 2026 to everyone and thank you Chris for this Podcast.
