Bob Goff, the passionate lawyer and beloved author known for his joyful mix of truth, love, whimsiness, and theology, is on a mission to help people live authentic and happy lives.
The “Love Does” author — a self-described “recovering lawyer” who gave up his firm to speak and write full-time and who helps rescue struggling and beleaguered people around the world — believes we can find true happiness when we intentionally dig beneath the surface.
“What we need to do is get back to knowing what we believe, why we believe it and what we’re going to do about it,” Goff said on “The Crazy Happy Podcast,” a new show from Daniel Fusco and the Edifi Podcast Network. “Show me happiness … show me joy in the rest of your life.”
Listen to Goff on “The Crazy Happy Podcast”:
Joy, Goff says, can be found when we dig a little deeper into ourselves.
“We need to be shipwreck divers. We need to actually go into the depths of pain and all the other things,” he added. “You’ll find your joy by actually going a little deeper.”
Goff knows a thing or two about being authentic and vulnerable. Despite being a successful and busy bestselling author, he did something fascinating a few years back: he intentionally printed his phone number in his book “Love Does” and encouraged fans and readers to call him.
