Do you have a favorite? Not meant to, but mostly the unloved ones, the unvisited ones, the cases that get dusty and ignored.

All the broken and shunned creatures.

Someone's got to care for them.

Who shall it be if not us?

Yes. Welcome to Roon soup, a weekly podcast about magic, culture and the very best new and old ideas for living in this world, coming to you from 43 degrees south on a small farm in deepest Tasmania.

My name is Gordon and I shall be your host.

This week we welcome back to the show one of our most popular returning guests,

Mitch Horowitz.

Mitch is an historian, speaker, public intellectual, editor and author.

He joins us today to talk about his latest book,

Miracle Habits, The Secret of Turning Your Moments into Miracles. We talk about

focus, vitality, how best to use money, the destructive power of gossip among many other topics.

There's even a bit about Tucker Carlson in there.

Enjoy.

Mitch, welcome back.

Thank you, good to be here.

Yeah, here.

Yeah, absolutely.

Congratulations on the new book.

It seems when I message you about it,

it seems very timely. How long did you spend writing it?

I know there's some moments in there where you're talking about the book is kind of finishing up around April of this year.
