If you were to make a list of your top ten favorite movies, which ones would be on that list?
And why?
What if I told you that when you’re watching a movie, you may think you’re just passively taking in some entertainment, but consider this: I believe that deep in the belly of your favorite movies sits a key to living a life of joy.

This episode can help you with that…
