Paul talks to author Marc Hoy about the importance of embracing intimacy - the heart of relationships.
We all crave connections. We all long to be a part of something. We long to discover, and to embrace love in all its forms. All of this requires intimacy, which in Marc’s view, is the act of allowing ourselves to be vulnerable, and to pay complete attention - two ingredients in turning a relationship into something truly magical.
ABOUT THE GUEST
Marc Hoy
Marc Hoy is the author of his new book LASTING HAPPINESS. Marc is a happiness expert, but he came by it at great cost and through unthinkable hardship.
When Marc says: “What is happiness? Where does it come from, and how do you get it?” you should know it’s a question he’s had the time to consider…a LOT of time to consider.
In 1995 Marc returned from an overnight business trip to his home in Thailand to find a panicked house guest and a dead person on the floor between them. His choices: go immediately to the police and turn his friend in for the murder he’d committed or help his friend cover up the murder and pray it was never discovered.
Marc made the wrong decision and spent 5 years in Thailand’s most notorious prison with death and decay surrounding him, his own well-being in constant peril, and happiness an elusive emotion of the past – one he’d surely never experience again. But he did.
From the depths of despair, bit-by-bit, he created his own happiness – a lasting happiness – and it saw him through the most difficult, painful period of his entire life. And now he’s ready to share the things he learned. LASTING HAPPINESS is a field guide for the rest of us as we go through life trying to find our own happiness.

ABOUT THE HOST
Something that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – for which he is immensely proud. He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned – in the Steve Jobs quote:
“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
