About this listen

What if the biggest difference you make today comes from something so small and simple that you usually skip it? In this Gentle Nudge episode, It’s so easy to do, it’s easy NOT to do, Dr. Harry Cohen and Connie Fontaine explore how tiny choices - kind or salty - shape your day, your relationships, and your impact far more than you think.

Here’s what you’ll hear:

  • The “chapter 31” idea Harry wishes he had squeezed into Be the Sun, Not the Salt and why the book still keeps growing in relevance years later.
  • The paradox that being kind, thoughtful, and present is genuinely easy, and so is being snarky, short, or dismissive.
  • How quick jokes, subtle digs, or “just being funny” can quietly wear on people, especially when they pile up.
  • Real stories of catching salty habits in marriage, meetings, and casual conversations, and what it feels like to simply not say the thing.
  • Gentle prompts to notice recent moments when you missed a chance to be a little sunnier or to clean something up with a simple, “I’m sorry, I do know your name.”
  • A 1% approach to both sides: being a bit kinder and a bit less salty, in ways so small they are actually sustainable.
  • How this all connects to James Clear’s habit idea that for anything to stick, it has to be easy, and how to make “tiny sun moments” the easiest option in your day.

If you’re looking for a light but meaningful reset, this episode offers a warm reminder that knowing is not doing, and that the smallest moves can turn you into more of a positive energizer and less of a “negatoid.”
