Your Inner Game: Section 1

Your Inner Game

Summary:

Billy backs his boat trailer into a telephone pole — with his wife and neighbor watching from the front row. But the real crash? That happened inside his head.

In this episode, Billy introduces Section One of Your Happier Life Toolbox: Your Inner Game. Through two laugh-out-loud personal stories (involving a destroyed trailer and a late-night bedroom argument with his own brain), Billy reveals why the voice inside your head might be the biggest obstacle between you and a happier life.

He calls it the drill sergeant — that internal voice convinced it can beat you into perfection. Spoiler: it can't. It just keeps you miserable. The real skill isn't silencing negative thoughts. It's learning to conduct them — like stepping up to the podium of a chaotic middle school band and deciding which instruments get heard.

Coming up in this section: five science-backed tools to help you run your inner orchestra — including gratitude that rewires your brain, optimism that goes beyond smiley-face stickers, the art of reframing, the power of savoring, and why laughter might be the most serious tool you own.
