This show is for Happy Warriors, not for Tennis-Balls-Floating-Down-The-Gutter-of-Life. Every Happy Warrior repeatedly proclaims “I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.” The “New York Times” published an article entitled ‘The Secrets of Jewish Genius’, which discussed the oft-noticed reality that an identifiable demographic numbering about one tenth of one percent of the world’s population has won 27 percent of Nobel Prizes in physics and 31 percent of the Nobel Prizes in medicine. And yes, Jewish men make up 54 percent of the world chess champions. In the show, I point out that none of this has anything to do with business success and making money, which is not IQ related. I also point out that I am definitely not boasting—I’ve known far too many really stupid coreligionists (all of whom vote wrong). Fortune is the result of knowing what I teach: ancient Jewish wisdom’s secrets of money. The article was instantly surrounded by a firestorm of controversy because it touched on the forbidden topic of IQ, all of which I explain in this show. What followed was a debate on what makes Jews so smart? Various theories, some credible, followed; but they never even whispered the most important explanation for IQ differences. Yes, IQ is largely an inherited trait, however, inter-generational statistical anomalies abound. You'll also learn the most devastating thing men do to harm their mental acuity and what they can do to improve their own intelligence as well as that of their children. Finalizing the raging dispute with Mrs. Lapin about beauty and confidence, I confide to you the details of how her remarkable confidence brought one of my dreams to life and gave me seven new ones.

Ep 52 | Secrets of Jewish Genius: Debunking Stupid Theories & Disclosing True Secrets You Can Use

Do you try to be a moral person? That question makes no sense without some description of the moral framework in use. For some moral frameworks, slitting the throats of airline stewardesses and turning airplanes into flying bombs is a moral act. For other moral frameworks, the most moral act you can perform is driving an electric car. Self-righteous “climate activists” are just as smarmy as hypocrites of any other religion/moral framework. For Happy Warriors, one of the most moral things you can do is be happy. It is not nearly as easy as you might think, but it is a huge gift to the people you live and work with and also makes God proud of you. What causes you to feel down? Do you automatically need happy pills from your local friendly drug dealer or psychiatrist? In this show, your rabbi reveals how the world REALLY works in our universal quest for happiness. He also reveals what happens when he and Mrs. Susan Lapin have a disagreement; a big disagreement. We resolve it on air right here in front of you, in this show.

Yes, I am of the view that male/female distinction is as fundamental and as important to the human experience as the distinction between light and dark and between good and evil. If that makes me a ‘sexist’, so be it. If a woman must choose between having beauty or self-confidence, which should she choose? If a man must make the same choice, which should he choose? In the show, I present a 12 Days of Christmas puzzle: the answer is 364. There are truly many benefits of having confidence. Where does it come from and how do you acquire it? What does Jamaican Olympic sprinter, Usain Bolt, have to do with it? Finally, learn the only reliable way to finally eliminate the existential threat of “climate change”.

Ep 50 | The Power of Confidence: How to Acquire it & Project it in Business & Relationships

Children have always been bringing their girlfriends and boyfriends to family gatherings. Some things are true for all times and all places. Travel and transport is an eternal human reality. Always has been and always will be. Everywhere. People in the past may not have had Concorde airliners, Cadillacs or canoes, but they did have camels. And that is exactly what the camel represents throughout the Hebrew Bible. Money is another timeless truth. Maybe not checks and certificates of deposit, but some form of abstract representation of wealth has always been central to the human condition. Learn the truth about other eternal realities, such as playing the money card in family relationships, male-female relationships, and children relating to parents and parents relating to children. They may not always have had family therapists or messaging apps on their phones, but family members interacting with all the love, tension, complexity, and even occasionally, hatred, has always been a concern to humans everywhere. Finally, learn how money helps prevent interpersonal exploitation.

C’mon, admit it. You have noticed that the majority of the names leading the congressional crusade against President Trump are Jewish. Is this an anti-Semitic observation? No, it’s true. And remember, any defamatory statement that is true reflects badly upon the subject of the infamy. Do you know how many secularized Americans of Jewish ancestry currently serve in the U.S. Congress? Do you know how that relates to America’s Jewish population? The secret of why only two of the Jewish representatives are Republicans. What makes a Jew a Jew? (Hint: It’s not having a Jewish mother!) Why so many 20th century communist leaders in Russia, Germany, Hungary, and elsewhere were Jewish. Yes, Leon Trotsky’s real name was Davidovich Bronstein. Why there is no such thing as ‘the American Jewish community’. What British prime minister, Benjamin Disraeli, said about Jews. In relationships, shared values matter far more than shared skin color. The problem that precipitated the brutal murder of two innocent Jews in Jersey City on December 10th was not anti-Semitism. The tragic triumph of the heinous over the holy. Is a Jewish presence good or bad for a country? Why understanding the Jews is vital for understanding how the world REALLY works.

With opinions, be conciliatory if you wish, but it’s fine to be firm about facts. Remember, reality is ruthless. People do need to eat and our nature is to get as much to eat as possible with the least amount of effort. Some call that efficiency and the most efficient way of getting food is by interacting with many others using the miracle of money. Are there any really hungry people anymore? In today’s modern world, do parents still need children to help them in their old age? Is getting married a private decision? Do older people still live off younger people’s work? Is the decision of whether to create a child purely personal?  What happens to you if many in your town stop reproducing? Can immigrants replace the people not being born? Are childless retirees living off other people who did raise families?  What can government do about declining population?

Ep 47 | Biological Tyranny: Know How Your Body Directs You

A famous 19th century socialist assured us that marriage, money, and religion are responsible for all the problems in the world. Since Robert Owen was a socialist, we know that the truth is exactly the opposite of what he said. The best things in the world (Civilization) are due to marriage, money, and Biblical faith. Getting a garden isn’t the end; it’s the beginning. Now you have to maintain it so it doesn’t turn into a jungle. Acquiring a car is the start of following the manufacturer’s maintenance manual to preserve the car’s utility and value. If you don’t maintain your airplane, it will eventually fail. Marriage isn’t the end of a path; it’s the start. Okay, you’re married! Congratulations, but now isn’t the time to sit back and relax. Now is the time to set in place the maintenance schedule. In this show, your rabbi presents twelve items in the manufacturer’s marriage maintenance manual: three things husbands must do, three things wives must do, three things husbands must avoid, and three things wives must avoid. Now you’re set to enjoy a long and happy marriage. Congratulations!

Ep 46 | The Manufacturer’s Recommended Maintenance Schedule for Marriage

How long would it take before a visitor to your home saw a shelf of books? Why this really matters. Want to change your actions? Simple! Change your beliefs. Your soul abhors a vacuum. Absent good beliefs, it will readily embrace bad beliefs and bad beliefs stimulate self-destructive actions. The real reason that certain courts no longer punish certain people for certain crimes. Being depraved is not the same as being deprived. True companionship comes from shared beliefs, not shared skin color. Why actively nurturing a common belief system is a vital marriage maintenance program. Why Native American chiefs had names like Little Wolf, Red Horse, and Black Snake. Why merely regulating what people do is never sufficient for communist tyrannies. They have "reeducation camps" in order to regulate what people believe, and we have public schools (GICs) and universities (kindergartens) for the same reason.

Why almost every airplane built flies reliably, almost every ship built floats, almost all skyscrapers erected stand, but many marriages and business start-ups fail. What is going on? The five reliable rules that govern both financial transactions and marital relations. Did you know that brands and franchises depend upon spiritual factors? What are they? The secret ingredient needed for effective partnerships that many mistakenly ignore. What do you teach the 20 year-old amnesiac who knocked at your door? How you can be sure that men will never prefer robots to women no matter how technologically advanced the "female" robot becomes.

Ep 44 | The 3-Stranded Cord That Will Not Easily Break: Money, Marriage,  &  ???

If boys and girls are so interchangeable that boys can run, bike, and wrestle against girls, why does alcohol cause so much more havoc on girls’ brains than on boys’ brains? Why do far more girls deliberately cut their flesh than boys? Why does anyone cut themselves? Why do people pierce their tongues and bellybuttons? The connection between the bloody observance of the Muslim cutting festival of Ashura and high school girls cutting their skins. Does the Bible prohibit suicide? Where? Old Latin-speaking monks referred to high alcohol content distilled liquors as ‘spirits’ because we use alcohol mostly to dull spiritual pain. The time when your rabbi felt attracted to another man’s wife. People are hurting children by depriving them of the words for describing spiritual pain. Learn why primitive tribes cut and pierce their skin and why children of intact traditional families of faith engage in less alcohol and drug abuse and far less cutting than other children. The difference between being a teenager in 1950 and being one today. Why can animals be content in good cages while people never can? Why do some of us prefer connecting to others on the internet over relating to real live people in our lives? Learn to control your screen time by understanding the addictive appeal of digital devices. Why do some people love working for commission only?
