00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 2: So I was reading this morning. There is a guy,

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 2: a best telling author. His name is Dan Buttner. He's

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:18,240
Speaker 2: traveled the globe studying how people live long, happy lives,

5
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 2: and in a recent interview he kind of laid out

6
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: the top eight habits of the world's happiest people based

7
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: on research and the all the people he's met. He says,

8
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: there are eight things you can do to feel happier

9
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 2: every day. Are we ready to explore? Yes? Do I

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 2: have your attention? Yeah? Yes. Number one, you need to

11
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: get at least eight hours of sleep.

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 3: One damn it is that at once?

13
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: Or can that be added up? Bro? You cannot add sleep.

14
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 2: I had a sleep doctor tell me that the happiest

15
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: people sleep eight to nine and a half hours a night. Well,

16
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: there goes that. Number Two. You need to eat a

17
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: plant based breakfast.

18
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 3: Okay, We're off to the work.

19
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: Why is this funny? Why is this isn't fun for

20
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 2: breakfast two days ago?

21
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: I mean, really, come on.

22
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 3: Like bacon sausage.

23
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: He's saying, the happiest people on earth stay away from

24
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: too much meat and dairy in the morning, and sugary

25
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: Cereal No. Number three, Number three from the list of

26
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: eight habits of the World's Happiest people. This is a

27
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 2: good one. Socialize, the more the better. I deeally with

28
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: people you like. Of course. I think we get our

29
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 2: quota every day here. Yeah, we have that definitely. Also

30
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 2: another habit of the world's happiest people volunteer.

31
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.

32
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: People who tend to feel happier, more satisfied with their lives,

33
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: and a fewer symptoms of depression are ones who are volunteering. Hmm,

34
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 2: I gotta I gotta work on that one. Number five.

35
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: Take naps.

36
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 3: We're on top of that.

37
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Like quick power naps thirty minutes or less.

38
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: It leaves you more focused.

39
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: No, no, no.

40
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 3: I like it's more of a sleep than a nap,

41
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 3: knock out for a couple hours.

42
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,839
Speaker 2: Well, Daniel, how come you can't take like a thirty

43
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 2: minute nap.

44
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: I mean I can. He's not the same as a

45
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: two hour nap.

46
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 2: I don't know. You know what, Alex will come home

47
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: and PLoP down on the couch and close his eyes.

48
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 2: He'll I'm just gonna take a quick nap and he'll

49
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: wake up three hours later. I'm like, what are you doing.

50
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: Oh good for him, He's like, I said, don't you

51
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 2: miss those three hours? You could have been doing something. No,

52
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 2: I did something. It was called napping. Yeah anyway, Yeah,

53
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: quick power naps. They say thirty minutes or less leave

54
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 2: you more focused, creative, and productive. And that's on top

55
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 2: of the nine and a half hours of sleep you

56
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 2: need to get every night. The number six on the

57
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 2: list I love from the eight habits of the World's

58
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 2: Happiest People. Have faith. Doesn't matter what you believe in.

59
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: Studies show people who are religious or faithful or are

60
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: more likely to describe themselves as very happy.

61
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 3: I believe that.

62
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: Yeah.

63
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: Believing in the power of the universe, believing in the

64
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 2: power of God. You know, whatever it is you're believing in,

65
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: you need to believe, believe in it more. It's good

66
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 2: for you. Any question so far? No, keep going. Number seven.

67
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 2: Limit your TV and social media.

68
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 3: Oh that.

69
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 2: Are you ready for this? Yeah, he's saying the happiest

70
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: people the ideal amount is no more than thirty minutes

71
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: of a day of each I totally love that. TV

72
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 2: and social media. The problem is, you know, some of

73
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: the shows we watch are more than thirty minutes long. Right,

74
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: So that's one show and a quick skim of your

75
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: favorite social media platforms and boom, you're done. Anyone with me?

76
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, totally. I think when you're on social media all day,

77
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 3: all you're doing is looking at other people's lives and

78
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: comparing yourself to you know, do you meet the right standards?

79
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 3: Are you pretty enough? Are you skinny enough? Are you

80
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 3: happy enough? All of these different things and you can

81
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 3: easily just get away from that.

82
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: All right, here's one, the last one on the list

83
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 2: of the eight habits of the world's have people. Number

84
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: eight maybe not doable for most of us. Do not

85
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: work full time?

86
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 3: Oh come on, what how do I not do that?

87
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: Right? Okay, the people here yelling who have a four

88
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: hour a day job, five days a week.

89
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 3: No, but there's so much outside of work that we

90
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 3: still do. But also, like, let's take us out of

91
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 3: the mix. The everyday american can't afford that anymore, will

92
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: have a full time job and still need another job

93
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 3: with the cost of everything.

94
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: Now, well, but hear him out, and maybe it could

95
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 2: help you augment a little bit. Do not work full time.

96
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 2: You won't be happy if you can't make ends meet.

97
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: But in a perfect world. Part time is better. People

98
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: who work less than thirty five hours a week tend

99
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 2: to be the happiest people overall. Oh yeah, and there

100
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: you go. So in other words, you gotta find ways

101
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: to cut corners be less productive at work. I don't know,

102
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 2: remember when you said last week you really should only

103
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: be giving eight five percent at work, not one hundred percent. Yes,

104
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 2: I think this sort of I think this sort of

105
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 2: plays into that a little bit. Okay, just saying if

106
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 2: you if you work too hard, you're missing out on

107
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 2: other things that could be more enjoyable, taking care of yourself,

108
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: going on walks, hanging out with people, socializing, traveling, whatever. No, no,

109
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 2: we got to work, we got we have that. But

110
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: he's just he's just say fine ways to uh, let's

111
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: skip out a little bit, to take it, take a

112
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 2: day off here and there. Yeah, what's scary.

113
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: But how do you strike a healthy balance between working

114
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: hard and slacking off? I mean, I feel like there's

115
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: like a fine line there or something or you know

116
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: something that he's there. I don't know. I mean I

117
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: feel like if you're not paying attention or you're doing

118
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: something out of sorts, you're you know, you get reprimanded

119
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: for it. So, and that could be the fifteen percent

120
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: that you're pulling back on.

121
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know. I just I'm just

122
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: saying what the guy is talking about. Why? Why? Why

123
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 2: you're yelling at me? It's it's interesting exercises not on

124
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 2: the list, not on this list anyway. Well, it's it's

125
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,559
Speaker 2: so well in covering again, eight hours of sleep, at least,

126
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 2: eat a plant based breakfast, socialized volunteer, take naps, have faith,

127
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: limit your TV and social media, and don't work. Yeah, okay,

128
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 2: the last one is a little iffy. Yeah, what's that? Nate? Okay?

129
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 2: Who wrote this list? Right? Because I think this has

130
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: something to do with maybe where you live?

131
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: Right?

132
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 2: Well, he traveled Okay, keep in mind, I'll repeat it.

133
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 2: Dan Putner is an author. He traveled the globe studying

134
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 2: how people live and how they live longer and live

135
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: happy lives, and he laid out these top eight habits

136
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: of the people he was interviewing who seem to be

137
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 2: the happiest people. That's it. So maybe where these people are,

138
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: they're just naturally happier because they're in Costa Rica or something.

139
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 2: It could be. It could be, it could be the

140
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 2: environment that live in. Absolutely it could be. But I

141
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: mean these are things they all had in common, getting

142
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 2: more sleep, eating better socialize, in volunteering. I mean those

143
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: are very to me, those seem very solid benchmarks.

144
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 3: Definitely. Yeah, it just makes me nervous because eight hours

145
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 3: of sleep.

146
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 2: Come on, I would love to do. I don't I

147
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: don't even know what that is. I mean, I don't

148
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 2: think I've ever had eight hours to sleep, not in

149
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,119
Speaker 2: the past thirty years.
