Lawrence is joined by Brad Anastasia, a former Investment Banker who became so burnt out with the Rat Race, that he quit the Corporate Dream and moved to South America to search for answers on how to live a life worth living.

He realized happiness wasn't a destination, but rather a journey. We discussed his 8 daily habits to leading a fulfilling life, with happiness as a by-product, instead of a focus.
