Rabbi Daniel Lapin's podcast

The big new thing in American business is the meteoric increase in the number of employees taking off days for mental health. Sounds like a good thing, right? Seems to afflict mostly the under 35 crowd. There is also a monumental increase in conversation about mental illness. A frightening large proportion of people are taking psychiatric medication in numbers never before seen. So, is mental disease on the increase? Or are normal challenges of a busy normal life being pathologized into mental disease? Especially since there is virtually no mental disorder with any detectable biological marker. Different doctors--different diagnoses and different treatments. Unbelievably large numbers of school boys are taking stimulants like Ritalin or Adderall. Does this reflect growing medical sophistication or a terrible wrong turn? What does your body have to do with all this? What does your soul have to do with all this?

Being self-disciplined and courageous are not just right things for men to do they also make men stronger. How some men on dating apps employ similar strategies of deception to spiders. Why Stockholm Syndrome happens and why women are slightly more impacted than men. In spite of what they may tell you, women are really really not attracted to men who sob in self-pity. They may say they admire it, they may say they respect it. But they are not attracted to it. 

Four questions asked by young women and the terrible answers they got. My parents resent the guy I have been dating for 4 years. My boyfriend is 5 years older than I and I am now 21. My parents are judging him because his parents divorced. That is not his fault. The old fashioned way I was raised makes me feel guilt whenever I have a bit of fun. I am not a slut; how do I stop feeling like one? I love my boyfriend very deeply. I am 17 and a virgin. I am not sure about how far to go but I don't want my boyfriend to leave me. Your rabbi analyzes the answers these sad young women are given and the pathos their gushing gratitude to the destructive hosts evokes.  

What woman is attracted to a man less powerful than she is? What country obeys another country less powerful than it is? Power = Prosperity + Prestige. Why America has not won a war since World War 2. What the Biden administration wants as the end play in the Israel-Hamas war. Olympic male boxers defeating females and why woke people almost inevitably reject Judeo-Christian Bible-based values. Where are the Hassidic Jewish progressives or the devout Evangelical Christian progressives? Why do they not exist?  

Do you know how to define love? Well, we take a crack at it in this show and learn valuable lessons on how to love. Love is not a feeling--it is an action. Learn how to do it and you can surround your life with the joy of love. We examine war. Why is it that America places few restrictions upon Ukraine which stands no chance of defeating Russia while placing severe restrictions upon Israel that deny it the victory it could almost certainly win? Why is it that after World War 2, the last war that the United States won, America seems to have lost the will to win? What does this portend for the future?

Why do far more men go bald than women? Why do far more men go bungee jumping than women? Why do extreme sports attract far more men than women? Why are death-defying (and sometimes, death-imposing) heroics more the province of men than women? All this and more is explained by your rabbi in today's show. Working out, weightlifting, and running, demanding more and more from our bodies, is thrilling and satisfying; how about doing the same with our souls? You might want to read more here https://rabbidaniellapin.com/product/soul-construction/. It's been two and a half weeks since our beautiful second young daughter returned to God's embrace. I reveal how I am coping and what I most miss. Hair, there, and everywhere. How you can know that men and women are not interchangeable.  

I have the pleasure of interviewing a young man on his journey from ages 13 to 23. I asked him when and how he broke away from the destructive demons that threatened his entire future. He asked me how my marriage guidance has changed over the past 40 years.

We reminisce about two precious years we spent together. We discuss the mistake of marrying too old and why 'settle-down' is a terrible metaphor for marriage. Two signs that can tell you the survival chances of a couple's marriage.  

The only really reliable polling on the 2024 election.  This candidate has odds of winning of 60%. What people do with their money is more reliable indicator than what they tell pollsters and pundits..  The family triangle of strength Husband  Wife  Baby. But which way do the arrows go?  Best way to see what women really want is to study Harlequin heroes.  Harlequin sells about 150 million romance novels a year.  Another romance novel, with excessively exaggerated themes, Fifty Shades of Grey sold over 100 million copies on its own.  Your rabbi presents the characteristics of Harlequin Heroes. Are they sensationalized caricatures?  Perhaps, but it is exactly in this way that we can study which characteristics are highlighted and even exaggerated.  So, single men, listen up and learn.  Learn how money and marriage interact with The Holistic You  https://a.co/d/06gvNsla Both men and women need to understand the role of money in their relationship.  Women need to lose guilt over money focus and men need to learn how to build wealth. And the earlier you start, the better.  Men and babies; men and their families; being powerful but not tyrannical. Professor Harlequin teaches us all this and more. Enjoy this show. 

This is the 500th episode of the Rabbi Daniel Lapin Show. I hope you find it worthy of the milestone. Juneteenth--celebrating the execution of traitors Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, June 19, 1953. Here's an interesting exercise: How would you do as Robinson Crusoe, stranded on a remote and deserted island? Is it easier or harder if your spouse were there with you? How can the answer help you make more money? How come no Aztecs set up a colony in Barcelona? No Indonesians set up a colony near Amsterdam. No Nigerians set up a colony outside London. Why only the other way? Why did Europeans build fearsome firearms but the Chinese who invented gunpowder never used it in a cannon? The West built cities with sanitation while the rest of the world foundered in filth. Was it race, environment, biology, or something else? The secret sauce that built Western civilization, which the whole world desired and emulated. That made Europe leap ahead of the rest of the world starting in about the year 300. How can we use this secret sauce to improve our lives, just as it did so conspicuously for Northern Europe? It doesn't have to be hard to make a living.

Everyone thinks Africa is far smaller than it really is—-Is this racism? How many Greenlands could fit into Africa—1 or 15? Look at a map. Now look at a globe. How the Methodist Church of the Ivory Coast in Africa horrified white-skinned Methodists. Why the Danube and the Rhine rivers in Europe are navigable but the Zambezi and Congo in Africa are not. European colonials were banished from Africa by the 1960s, that was good, right? China is now colonizing 52 out of 54 African countries, that is bad, right? Join the Happy Warrior community  https://www.wehappywarriors.com/. Africa is more Christian than you would think. How do they run telephone wires through the jungle?  5,000 Chinese companies operate in the United States, but in Africa, the number is more than 10,000. The African way in dress, friendship, and fertility.

Have you ever heard how Jewish people tend to do business with one another? Well, as I explain in this show, it is absolutely true! And many members of churches like to do business with one another. Alumni of some universities choose to do business with other graduates of the same school. A community of expat Nigerians in Maryland tend to do business with one another. If you are not part of a like-minded community of people you know, like and trust, you are missing out big time. The larger implications of when my car was broken into.

Unless you're the Post Office or a University, you do not offer lifetime employment to new hires. It is a bad business practice. So why do we marry and say to each other, "this is forever" or "till death us do part"? Tenure is not good at the post office and not good at universities, so why does it work for marriage? Most successful partnerships are built on a carefully drafted partnership agreement. Why do many marriage partnerships thrive without any written agreement? The best airline pilots have gained proficiency on about ten or twenty different airplanes before they take the controls of the airliner you are riding in. Surely the best marriages are when husband and wife have gained proficiency with ten or twenty other people before you?

Do you feel closer to the smaller units of association in your life like family, church, neighborhood, county, and so on; or do you feel closer to bigger units of association like the federal government, the United Nations, and the World Health Organization?

"Find a husband on campus before you graduate" wrote Princeton alumna Susan Patton in 2014 to her daughter, a Princeton coed. She generated fanatical fury. Ten years later, In 2024,  Grazie Sophia Christie writes "The Case for Marrying an Older Man" though, she really means "a richer man". She has also infuriated feminist fanatics.

Unlike alpacas, antelopes, & alligators, we humans are capable of dramatically changing the landscape of our lives. Unlike beavers, buffaloes, and bears, we don't need many generations to adapt to changing environments. No, we humans can recognize the devastation that inflation is wreaking on our lives -- and adapt! First, recognize the true extent of inflation. At least 20% since April 2020. That is like someone stealing a $100 bill from you and replacing it with four $20 bills. This show is devoted to recovering that stolen 20%.  To be encouraged and also to encourage, join our community of Happy Warriors here:   www.WeHappyWarriors.com.

Men used to tend toward jobs in which they work with things (farming, construction, factories, etc.), while women tended towards home and family or jobs in which they work with people (teaching, nursing, stewardess, etc.). A few people worked with ideas (lawyers, philosophy professors, clergy). Today it's less evident than it used to be. But maybe men still yearn to make, manipulate, or fix things so they have hobbies. Men working in agriculture: 1900 = 38%; 2000 = 10%. Does having things in his life help keep a man sane? What happens when faith is obliterated? From 1860-1960: Marx - Secular morality; Darwin - Secular origin story; Freud - Secular s*x, Einstein - Secularism = All is relative. Abandon naive confidence in higher education to instill moral awareness of right and wrong. Check out my May appearance in Orlando: www.TheProvenConference.com/lapin About 30% of Americans have a university degree but they are governed by the US Congress of which 96% of members have a university degree. Like William F. Buckley, I'd rather be governed by an auto-mechanic than by a professor.
