Anil opens up about being suicidal in 2008, and how that low point became the turning point that led him to speak to audiences of up to 10,000 people, write three bestselling books, and appear on major media outlets including TEDx, Fox News, Sky TV, ABC, NBC, iHeartRadio, and Harvard. Anil shares his "happiness formula" built around giving, and explains how small acts of kindness can change someone's life without you ever knowing it. He and Tim dig into overcoming fear by saying yes to opportunities first and figuring out the details afterward, building real skill through practice and immersion (Anil says it takes about 20 hours to get noticeably better at almost anything), and how to spot a coach or mentor who can actually deliver results. Anil also introduces his Smart Select System, designed to help singles choose an ideal partner by collecting and analyzing information rather than rushing in on feelings alone, and talks about helping couples and families communicate and find more harmony. The conversation wraps with a fun detour into music, including Anil's favorite bands and a memorable story from a Rolling Stones concert. Who is Anil Gupta?
