We all want to be happy. It’s the quintessential American obsession. Did you ever visit the Bahamas or some other paradise and wonder if they were the happiest people in the world? NPR foreign correspondent Eric Weiner got tired of covering wars and disasters around the world and undertook a special assignment to find what countries are the happiest citizens. It’s an assignment that reminds me of Albert Brooks’s movie, Looking for Comedy in the Muslim world-a search with wit and interesting discoveries. His answers will probably surprise you and give some clues as to how you might more wisely seek happiness.

John Rother, AARP's Director of Legislation and Public Policy

In our quest to live longer, healthier happier lives, we need to know see the big picture of healthcare and social services and how we can help make them better. The biggest advocate for Boomers and seniors is AARP. With 39 million members, AARP is second only to the Catholic church in membership size in the US. The US army, navy and marines have 1.5 million soldiers and 1.5 million reservists. The AARP army of active volunteers is 4 million strong-an army whose assignments include volunteering to help more than 2 million seniors a year fill out income tax forms. AARP’s army has 4.5 million members often sending emails. AARP the Magazine is the largest circulation magazine in the world. There used to be a commercial “When E.F. Hutton speaks people listen.” EF Hutton is no more. Today we might say when AARP speaks, Washington listens. Our guest is AARP’s Director of Legislation and Public Policy, John Rother.

Overcoming their own health challenges, they developed a system of exercises that vastly improves posture and fully stretches muscles. They say that a lot of knee surgeries, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome and other painful conditions can be prevented with proper exercise. Get ready for some very surprising challenges to what you think you know about fitness.

Dr. Barry Sears

I usually cringe when I hear someone say it’s not your fault. But Dr. Barry Sears’ research convinced me that if you are overweight it’s not your fault. The bad news is that most Americans are carrying around a lot of toxic fat-which like cancer can spread and cause havoc to many organs. The good news is that research has found solutions in a very reasonable diet and taking fish oil supplements. Dr. Sears, creator of the Zone Diet, has been researching cancer and diets for decades and just come out with his newest New York Times Best Seller, Toxic Fat. Today you will learn how former Department of Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz helped make millions of people fat and what you can do to undo the damage, lose weight and be healthier. Get ready to have your eyes opened by the researcher that makes more sense and has more data than any diet research or program you have ever heard of.
