THE SECRET TO HAPPINESS

THIS 98-YR-OLD WWII HERO HAD A HARD LIFE - FILLED WITH HAPPINESS. HOW?

EP. 3: Alex Polowin. A 98-year-old World War II veteran. A D-Day hero. And the last man standing amongst all of his shipmates. He's already lost so many friends and loved ones - including his beloved wife, son, and most recently his "brother" David Kilgour (a Nobel Peace Prize nominee). “From my lifelong friends, there’s no one left to call,” he tells me.

AND ALEX KEEPS GOING. HAPPILY. HOW?

Well, therein lies the secret to happiness. Plus, listen carefully for a couple of very special surprises in this episode. Pieces of history. Now, let’s get you to that secret to happiness, shall we?

P.S. There’s a picture of Alex at the very bottom of this page. Don’t look at it until AFTER you listen to the episode! Sure, you could look now. But you’ll see it completely differently - AFTER - you’ve listened to this episode. You’re still going to look now, aren’t you? It’s okay. I know after you listen, you’ll just have to look again. :)
