In honor of Valentine’s Day I went deep into the vault — we’re over 100 episodes deep now! — to feature one of our resident love experts Les Parrott. He’ll give us practical tips to love (and live!) more inspired. This episode originally aired in June 2017.
Les is a co-creator of the match-making software behind eHarmony, psychologist, professor, author, husband, and father. He's shared his expertise with Oprah, Barbara Walters, and Tom Brokaw and today he shares it with us.

1. What is the best book you've ever read? Either Emotional Intelligence, by Daniel Goleman or Learned Optimism by Martin Seligman.
2. Tomorrow you discover your wealthy uncle shockingly dies at the age of 103; leaving you millions. What would you do? I'd establish, on college campuses, centers for healthy relationships to give education to a whole new generation. We'd see divorce rate drop dramatically - and when you lower the divorce rate, it positively impacts rates of education, wealth, etc.
3. Your house is on fire, all living things and people are out. You have the opportunity to run in and grab one item. What would it be? My laptop.
4. You are sitting on a bench overlooking a gorgeous beach. You have the opportunity to have a long conversation with anyone living or dead. Who would it be? My wife Leslie, she loves the beach. I love that she loves the beach and we've had some of our greatest talks there.
5. What is the best advice you've ever received? Master the capacity to adjust to things beyond your control. Life is unfair.
6. Looking back, what advice would you give yourself at age 20? Relax. Slow down a bit. It's going to be okay.
7. It's been said that all great people can have their lives summed up in one sentence. How do you want yours to read? A man who loved his family with all his heart.
