workers' conditions are like. >> i don't know if any of our bosses want to take over your job. >> that episode of "undercover boss", bay area edition. we're going to have off and on rain, thunderstorms possible. i'll be here with live updates all throughout the morning. >> and i think those conditions are reflecting on the commute. some folks have held off from commuting. san mateo bridge slow and sloppy but not as bad as we sometimes see it. there's oakland, an example of the roadways. >> that's what's happening on "today in the bay." we're streaming 24/7 on roku and xumo. >> have a great morning. the "today" show is coming up next.

about that harrowing story. >> can't wait to share that story. we want to start in nashville

and that newly released police body cam video. >> it's six intense minutes of footage showing officers rushing into the school towards the sound of gunfire before taking down that shooter. >> we're talk to a former police chief about those officer's actions. first katie become is in nashville learning more about the investigation and the victims. >> katie, good morning. >> reporter: outside the covenant school a growing memorial for the six victims. investigators revealing new details about the shooter, saying the shooter owned more guns than the three brought to the school monday. we're getting a closer look at the swift police response taking down the shooter in just 11 minutes, 11 minutes from the first phone call. what you're about to see could be disturbing to watch. within seconds of arriving at

covenant church school, officers quickly gearing up to rush in. weapons drawn, they entered the school turned crime scene. 28-year-old audrey hale shooting through a locked door at the school prior to police arriving. police clearing classrooms before following the sound of gunfire to an upstairs lobby where hale was firing down at police from a second story window. police confront hale, exchanging fire and taking down the shooter. law enforcement analyst jim cavanaugh says the body cam video shows nashville police followed training and saved lives. >> you have to move quickly. that's what they did.

>> reporter: nashville police chief john drake saying the shooter's parents report that hale was suffering from an emotional disorder and was under a doctor's care. drake adding the parents believe their child sold the one gun hale owned, when hale purchased seven firearms and was hiding them in the house. we're also learning more about the victims. 9-year-old evelyn dieckhaus loved singing and performing. hallie scruggs was the youngest of five and the only daughter of a pastor at covenant church. 9-year-old william kinney described as an unflappable spirit. 61-year-old mike hill, known as big mike, was a sweet soul. cynthia peak was a substitute teacher and devout christian.

these educators flew in from atlanta to honor katherine koonce who police say was gunned down after confronting the shooter. >> she gave everything she had. >> reporter: even if prior to this shooting it was known hale was unstable, tennessee police would have no rights to confiscate guns because there are no red flag laws on the books here, a state that has consistently weakened their gun laws. president biden weighing in, saying he's done all he can in terms of executive action. all he can do now is lean on congress to make a change. hoda? >> katie, thank you. let's bring in our analyst. chief, thanks for joining us. when i look at the body cam footage, it looked picture perfect. it looked like exactly what it should have been. with your trained eye, tell us what you saw when you looked at that video. >> good morning, hoda. i think we really need to offer

a lot of praise to the officers. they really followed the training as has been stated. they went in. they made their contact teams. they went directly to the target to isolate, locate and eliminate the threat in the school. and they did an excellent job by all accounts of what we can see from the body cam video. >> let's talk about this. two officers roll up. there is gunfire going on. there is no backup. there is no s.w.a.t. team coming. these are these officers going in on their own. is that the blueprint for the way it is supposed to be? should you go in like that, or is the way the books tell you to do it, wait for someone to back you up? >> no, absolutely not. the way it is supposed to work is how it did there in nashville. the training ever since columbine has been that when you get there, there is a tactical team, an immediate response. you line up. i think you can hear the officer say i need four to make sure there are four people on the team as they made entry to the

school. a long rifle leading and then officers following as they did their preliminary search until they heard shots fired and went directly to the threat. >> you listen and they're so calm. there is no cursing. it's straight in. they're going for it. when i think about what happened in uvalde, i think it took an hour or so for officers to go in. 19 kids and 2 teachers were killed. do you think that incident made other departments stand back and take another look at the way they handle things? >> well, how could it not? you know, the training is as what we saw. but after seeing that, i'm sure that every chief and every officer and every individual that responds did a little self-check to make sure we were going to do the training we were trained to do when going into situations like that. >> just lastly, let's talk about the shooter having emotional problems. under a doctor's care, able to buy 7 guns, 2 automatic

rifles and a pistol to the scene. what could have prevented this? we talked about red flag laws, which means you can take away a gun from somebody having emotional problems before they can execute some kind of horrible crime. >> hoda, i'm a supporter of red flag laws. i live in washington state where red flag laws exists. when someone is in emotional crisis and family members and others recognize there is a potential to cause harm to themselves and others, it just makes sense to, at least for a period of time, remove the weapons from that person if there is a life safety issue. >> chief, thank you so much. we appreciate your time this morning. >> thank you. also this morning, new stories of survival are emerging in the wake of that devastating tornado in mississippi. folks there still trying to simply get their lives back together, while a lot of people are still coping with power outages. a lot of folks don't have running water. even more severe weather is on the way.

we will get to al's forecast in just a moment. first maggie vespa is in rolling fork, mississippi, once again. maggie, good morning. >> reporter: thanks, craig. good morning. with block after block still did he destroyed here in rolling fork, all anyone wants to see is signs of progress. and the cleanup is underway. but after a natural disaster of this size and scope, the rebuilding will be measured in months, not years. this morning swaths of the deep south living in limbo, following the weekend's deadly string of tornadoes. >> the whole town is demolished. it's gone in the blink of an eye. >> reporter: the devastation also stretching into alabama and georgia. in hard-hit rolling fork, fema is on the ground while crews work to restore water and power. in this community craving the smallest bit of normalcy, mail

carriers unable to deliver to decimated homes, pass out mail at the post office instead. >> not recognizing anything. seeing people haven't to get out of places, seeing people hurt. i mean, it is very overwhelming. >> reporter: this pastor road out the storm in his home near the church. he moved here three years ago after another storm destroyed his trailer in a nearby town. >> did you think not again? >> actually, i didn't have time to think except to actually protect my wife. >> reporter: 22 people died in the storms, including 2-year-old aubrey green. with plans for funeral services taking shape, officials point survivors to a network of temporary shelters and hotels. with thousands of homes damaged and destroyed, rebuilding will take time. >> we know people can't keep in hotel rooms forever because they need to go on with their lives. we just don't know what our next steps are. >> reporter: amid those stories

of heart break, it may be hard to believe, but there is another round of severe weather could be headed to this region later this week. people hope it's not like what they saw last weekend. just a really scary prospect for those here who are just hoping to get back on their feet as quickly as possible. craig? >> scary indeed. maggie, thank you. all right. more severe weather on the way. al, how is it looking? >> this will be the same setup where things start out west with winter storm warnings and watches as well. we've got this low pressure system developing. plus, a weak atmospheric river bringing in 2 to 4 inches of rain from central to southern california. rainfall rates quarter of an inch to half an inch an hour. this storm system will redevelop east of the rockies bringing wintry weather tomorrow. storms developing towards the plains. friday is what we're most severe about. rounds of heavy rain, strong winds. we have 47 million people at

risk. the biggest risks are going to be wind gusts of up to 70 miles an hour, severe thunderstorms that are fast moving, moving at highway speeds and strong tornadoes developing with heavy hail. that's not the biggest problem. the biggest problem des moines, chicago, st. louis, down to little rock, into nashville, we could be looking at the severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. we will be watching that. saturday the system continues to the east, bringing heavy, wet snow to the great lakes. travel is going to be really affected. so the next 72 hours, guys, will be a really big deal as far as weather. >> okay. we will come back in a bit. al, thank you. now to a hearing on capitol hill that is being closely watched. howard schultz, the former ceo of starbucks facing tough questions about the coffee giant's response to workers hoping to unionize.

ryan nobles joins us with all the details. ryan, good morning. >> reporter: craig, good morning to you. more than 230,000 people have jobs at starbucks, just like this one across the country. it is those employees that will be the focal point of a hearing right down the road at capitol hill. that's where the company's former ceo, howard schultz, will be asked tough questions about what senator bernie sanders believes are efforts to stand in the way of unions forming in u.s. stores. schultz only agreed to appear after facing the prospect of a schultz is expected to argue that he has no problem with their employees joining unions. prepared remarks that nbc has obtained. he is expected to say starbucks respects the rights of all those who need representation. and starbucks is committed to engaging in good faith collective bargaining for each store that has a union.

he will go on to say, i embrace the commitment. but senator sanders doesn't buy it and he claims to illustrate the way the company has stood in the way of organizing effort. schultz is arguing they offered competitive pay and health benefits long before the effort to unionize. it could impact starbucks customers. >> all right. ryan nobles for us there in washington. ryan, thank you. also this morning, there are new developments in a case that captivated the nation. an appeals court in maryland reinstating the murder conviction of adnan syed, the focus of a serial podcast. it comes months after syed was freed after spending two decades in prison fighting charges that he killed his former girlfriend. anne thompson joins us. >> reporter: this time the ruling is a victory for the

victim's family. the court finding they weren't given enough time to attend last year's hearing and ordering what amounts to a doover of the procedure that freed adnan syed. this morning adnan syed's legal journey made famous by the podcast "serial" and an hbo documentary is not over. in a 2-1 decision, the appellate court of maryland ruled by giving the victim's brother just one day's notice before the hearing was insufficient time to allow mr. young who lived in california to attend the hearing in person. instead, he took part by video conference. because of that, the murder conviction was reinstated tuesday. >> we are delighted that the court did the right thing. the process was flawed. >> reporter: last year adnan syed walked out of court after spending 23 years behind bars for the strangulation murder of

his former high school girlfriend in 1999, a crime he has maintained he did not commit. his conviction was vacated when a judge ruled prosecutors failed to turn over evidence and found new evidence that could have impacted adnan syed's case. if there is another hearing, do you expect that to change the outcome? >> we don't know because we don't know what the state has as evidence. we want to see the evidence. >> the appellate court found the short notice violated his rights saying it is obligated to remedy those without violating adnan syed's right to be free from double jeopardy. his attorney pointed out the reinstatement was because lee's family was not physically present, telling nbc news in a statement, ensuring justice for lee does not require injustice

for adnan syed. just last month, he talked about being reinstated. >> we suffered, too. >> now, this morning it does not appear that adnan syed has to go back to prison. his attorney says they will appeal. and lee's attorney says another round of appeals could take until the end of the year or the beginning of next before a final decision is reached. so this isn't over by a long stretch. >> by a long shot. all right. thank you. we just took a look at the severe weather threat. mr. roker is back to check the weather throughout the rest of the country. we've got snow showers around the great lakes, sunny and mild. the mild weather continues down through texas. chilly up in the northern plains, but here comes this next big weather maker. it wilill cause e a lot of m mis wewe get to the end of the week the rest of f the countrtry. that's what's going on.

and that's your latest weather. still ahead, two trials the captured the nation's attention, including gwyneth paltrow's i■ial.[ kaylee hartung is covering that for us. >> reaction to gwyneth paltrow's testimony has exploded on social media. it may not be either testimony in this he said she said trial that swayed a jury. coming up, we will talk about the experts battling it out to make the case. the judge at the center of the alex murdaugh trial speaking the alex murdaugh trial speaking publically for the first time

center stage tuesday in court with gwyneth paltrow's defense team using it to challenge previous testimony. the actress' lawyers presenting an animation recreation of the crash that they say contradicts the plaintiff. >> we have mr. ramon's version and we have gwyneth paltrow's version. mr. ramon's version does not meet with the laws of physics. >> would you say that gwyneth paltrow's is the more likely of the two accounts? >> considering it is the only one that matches with the physics of what happened, yes, i would say so. >> reporter: the judge saying the animation could not be considered evidence, but legal experts say the defense may have scored points with it anyway. >> the reality of it is the jury looks at that as evidence. >> reporter: ramon is saying she slammed into him. the 76-year-old is saying he

suffered from a brain injury as a result of the 2016 collision. gwyneth paltrow is counter suing saying it was, in fact, sanderson that plowed into her. >> it was like somebody was out of control and hit a tree and was going to die. and that's what i had until i was hit. >> mr. sanderson categorically hit me on that ski slope, and that is the slope. >> and i'm sure that's what you believe. >> because that's the truth. >> reporter: depositions of gwyneth paltrow's teenage children were also read in court tuesday. both testified years after the crash that neither of them saw the actual collision, but immediately after the crash, they say their mom unequivocally spoke about sanderson running into her. >> so i cannot recall the beginning of this. the judge gave this eight-daytime line for the trial. that's coming up soon.

do you know how this is going to wrap up? >> reporter: there has been a lot of pressure to ensure all expert witnesses are called as they're scheduled. a lot of these have gone on longer than expected. gwyneth paltrow's attorneys have asked the judge to be clear on scheduling. the defense now says they may call him back to the stand if they do end up having enough time. >> all right. thank you. also this morning, the judge at the center of the alex murdaugh trial is opening up about pivotal decisions he made during that case. joe fryer is here with more on that. >> he is speaking publically for the first time since the murdaugh trial wrap. during the legal proceedings, he rarely offered a window into his thoughts but made headlines for his emotional remarks and sentencing. now he is giving us more insight into how we navigated one of the

most captivating trials in years. he captured the nation's attention while presiding over the trial of alex murdaugh. but to him -- >> i was simply a judge in a trial doing my job. >> reporter: at his ama mater tuesday, he offered insight into his decisions including this famous moment, sentencing murdaugh to life for murdering his wife and son. >> and i know you have to see paul and maggie during the nighttimes when you are attempting to go to sleep. >> reporter: tuesday he elaborated on those comments. >> i don't believe that he hated his wife, and i certainly did not believe that he did not love his son. but he committed an unforgivable, unimaginable crime, and there is no way that he will be able to sleep peacefully. >> reporter: newman also says he stands by the pivotal ruling to

allow murdaugh's alleged financial crimes into evidence. >> once a defendant takes the stand and testifies, then almost everything is fair game at that point. >> reporter: it is a decision murdaugh's attorneys are now using as grounds to appeal. judge newman served as both a defense attorney and prosecutor for years before he was elected as a judge in 2000, but the murdaugh trial gained him national recognition and a few social media fans praising his calm demeanor. >> this man is a national treasure. >> reporter: newman addressed his decision to allow the jury to visit the murdaugh family estate where the murders took place. >> it ended up, i thought, being helpful to the prosecution and not to the defense, though requested by the defense. >> reporter: that property recently sold for a sum total $3.9 million, according to court documents.

alex's surviving son, buster, is expected to receive $530,000 of those funds. >> so what's next for him? >> so he has to retire when he turns 72, which is actually later this year. but he is still assigned to preside over those 99 financial crimes faces, which murdaugh still faces trial for. so judge newman could continue to preside over those until they're finished, even if that goes into next year. >> all right. thank you. just ahead here, it's early. but are you already thinking about perhaps reaching for a snack? an inside look at how our eating habits are changing and, as a result, the food industry is being forced to change, our taste buds are changing as well. >> i'm getting hungry just talking about this. >> first gadi schwartz as the touching story behind an emergency landing you need to hear to believe. >> imagine you are a student pilot, taking off for their

everything seemed fine on takeoff, but from the ground things were looking dicey. fortunately that veteran pilot that saw a critical piece of her landing gear fall off immediately jumped into action. a dramatic landing helped through a harrowing experience by a total stranger. >> this is the first time we've seen each other. >> i know. it's pretty crazy. feels like i have known you forever. >> whoa, whoa, whoa. this is the first time you have seen each other ever? >> yes. >> 21-year-old pilot taylor said everything looked fine when she took off friday. but veteran pilot chris yates realized something was off, literally. >> just noticed the nose tire, everything, fall to the ground and just bounce down the runway. >> the control tower explaining the situation to taylor.

>> you lost your front nose gear tire. >> copy 8 delta charlie. >> the tire front wheel assembly is on the runway. >> roger that. should i remain in the pattern? >> it was definitely the scariest moment i've had probably in my life. >> yates happens to be the former director of aviation at spacex. he's also a father and said he heard anxiety in taylor's voice. they told taylor to circle the field until she was ready to land, giving the two of them time to talk. >> delta charlie pilot, what is your time, kiddo? >> my name is taylor. >> i didn't respond on the radio because i couldn't talk. i was welled up. >> taylor, this is chris. my daughter's name is taylor and i taught her to fly. we're going to be just fine, kiddo. >> thank you very much. >> and you can really tell how my voice went from frantic, what

was more sure than ever that she loved flying. guess what? she is making plans with chris to go out flying together soon. this time flying behind the controls shoulder to shoulder with her guardian angel. >> i knew that story was going to be good. i didn't know it was going to be that good. how about the conversation while he's probably thinking about how she is going to land the plane. >> thinking of his daughter. >> the fact they both kept their cool. >> yep, yep. i think every time -- i think every time he said kiddo, she got calmer. i got calmer. >> and the pause when he thought of his daughter. >> beautiful, thank you. all right. wait. >> wait. there's more. >> it's funny because you just said that kiddo thing. this is wild, too. they have never met in real life. so he took off as she landed. she was safely on the ground. he made sure that fire engines got there. so she only saw him flying off

into the horizon. as soon as they met on zoom, the first thing out of his mouth was, hey, kiddo, and both of them just lost it. it was incredible. >> that was great. beautiful, beautiful. mr. roker, it's all yours. >> obviously nobody can do that. so let's just show you what we've got for today. sunny and mild conditions down through the south. a chill in the air. good wednesday morning. i'm meteorologist kari hall. it's still going to be a very active weather day as we're seeing waves of rain coming in, also snow for elevations above 2,500 feet, and we're also monitoring for the potential of thunderstorms as the center of that storm still spinning off the coast will keep our weather very active, and energized as we go into the next several hours. this will wind down later on this evening, eventually we'll

had actually purchased seven guns at five different stores. police saying they had spoken to hale's parents who say she was suffering from an emotional disorder and was under the care of a doctor. saying they did not believe hale possessed any guns at the time of this shooting. police mentioned during this press conference that even if they had known hale was unstable, there is nothing they could do to confiscate those guns because there are no red flag laws in tennessee, a state that has consistently weakened their gun laws. president biden weighing in saying he has done all he can in terms of executive action in this case and he is calling on congress to make changes. we expect to hear more from investigators today who say they are not sure exactly what the motive is yet. hopefully today we'll be able to learn more information about that. >> all right. catie beck for us there in nashville. thank you. meanwhile, a judge has ordered mike pence to obey a

so walking is a medicine like any other medicine you may take. it is great for your health. it is a pr campaign that started in 1964. the firsthand held pedometer was translated into english 10,000 steps. that being said, steps are great. more steps are better. the more steps you can take is terrific. but 10,000 is a completely fabricated number. >> how long does it take? how long is 10,000 steps? >> it is about five and a half miles. >> so you have to walk five and a half miles? >> i know a person that actually does that, al roker. if you could only squeeze in 10, 20 minutes a day of walking, are there health benefits to that? >> you bet. we're interested in exercise snacks, bites of exercise throughout the day that you can take that amounts to exercise. building up is important. there is a term here on the

monitor called meek. that's walking the dog, walking to work. we have in the past several years seen a decrease in neat steps as people are working remotely. i heard the story coming up tomorrow that will drop further. the idea is you have to make sure you move throughout the day. those steps add up over days, weeks, months. it's really important. >> for people that like to count, is there something we should be shooting for that's the right amount? is 10 minutes enough? is 20 minutes enough? >> ideally 30 minutes a day or 4,000 steps. some people do better with time. some people do better with numbers. it depends on what motivates you. if you look at your watch and say, i need to get to that number every day, do that. it is just whatever motivates you is the best. but get out there and do it every day. >> you know how you don't get a sweat, you don't get anything, but it does have a lot of health benefits. >> it adds up. like exercise, a different kind

of thing, but very important. >> also helps clear my mind. >> yeah. and being in nature. because in new york we're not in nature. >> doctor, thanks so much. we should mention, we have more tips, and you can sign up for our walking club at today.com/starttoday. meantime, traffic on the ohio river is limited. this is after three barges broke away from a tugboat and got stuck in a dam on louisville, kentucky. one of those is carrying a toxic chemical. there is currently no evidence of any leaks, but they are closely monitoring the air and water. a total of ten barges broke loose early yet when their tugboat hit an entrance to a canal. ahead on "popstart," carson is revealing the host of this year's academy of music awards. >> sam brock is going to dive

the impact it is having on the food industry. >> high on that list snacks. simply put, people are eating tons of them. sam brock got the story. hey, sam! >> reporter: good morning. it is the snackification of america. this is not just you. it is a thing. if you look industry-wide, guys, last year a 12% increase in the sale of snacks. 11.6 billion dollars for stores like wawa, even more than that. what is driving that? bold flavors. everything that says red hot or fuego does well. also a snack that has buzz words like paleo or gluten free. those do well. this appears to be a biproduct of the pandemic, and it is not going away any time soon. >> what are you eating? >> i don't even know.

i just know i'm hungry. all the time. >> grabbing a little something to eat in between meals is nothing new, but now it seems those snack attacks are getting even stronger. >> i like peanut m&ms. >> yeah. >> regular m&ms. i like licorice. >> chocolate. >> potato chips, things bad for me. >> reporter: a number of u.s. reports on eating habits saying snacking grew steeply over the pandemic and has continued. retail experts say this was driven mostly by the habits of young people. >> that's pretty significant. they don't necessarily sit down for three meals a day. they are on the go. >> reporter: some are calling the trend of eating snacks instead of full sneels snackification, blaming the change on a return to busy schedules. the most common pick are

cookies, while ice cream rounds out the top three. according to a consumer consultant, products seeing the most success are those with unique flavors, the hotter the better. bites boosting health benefits and collaborations between brands. when we're eating snacks is also changing. breakfast foods are curbing late night cravings. 3 in 4 americans snack at least once a day, up 15% from 2021. if you can't quite figure out what you want to eat, there is no shortage of snack suggestions on social media. >> it's amazing. >> reporter: to the strongly satisfying. and if you find it hard to fight the urge to eat something less

nutritious, don't be too hard on yourself. now, guys, experts want to stress snacking is not necessarily a bad thing, but there are some tips they want you to keep in mind. if you are going to be snacking on processed foods, we're talking about fruits, vegetables and nuts, try to adhere to serving sizes and try to stick to one if possible. your aim is 150 calories to 250 calories per snack. all right. let's talk about our favorite snacks. for me personally, i'm going to pick two year. the voodoo chips, absolutely one of my favorites. >> yeah. >> and then these cookies. i'm sorry, guys, chocolate and cookies for me. that's the sweet-spot, no pun intended. i have passwords with chocolate and cookies in them. >> okay.

it's not that appealing. it's not that appealing. i have only eaten it out of the wrapper. so i went with the second. >> that's when not to eat a payday bar. >> can i just say something? our kids are always eating snacks. do you remember when you were younger? did your parents have extra snacks? of course they didn't. >> no. >> but we're like, if you get on a plane for two hours, if you don't have snacks, you are panicking and freaking out. >> because we feel guilty about the devices. we feel guilty about i pads, so the snack is like -- >> our parents just said here is an apple, whatever. >> here's an apple. here's some grapes. good night. >> mushy grapes. >> well, my favorite salty snack is cheetos. this is the closest color to cheetos. >> everything about you is complicated. >> have you met me?

springy lemon luingini that you will just love. >> and we're in for a funky good time. how about some live music. two-time grammy winner is treating us to a special jazz performance. one of the most unique voices out there right now. >> the moment she won the grammy for best new artist, the look on her face is one we will never forget. later, our consumer confidential on tipping etiquette. how do you handle the guilt? >> and more music for you guys tomorrow. guess what we have. when contemporary christian singer lauren comes. she is a ten plus. mr. roker, you have a check of the weather. >> all right. let's look ahead to the weekend. we will start off with friday. a severe storm outbreak unfortunately through the mississippi river valley. sunny and mild through the northwest.

saturday showers and storms. snow and wind in the great lakes, unsettled in the pacific northwest. and then sunday sunday, a northeast chill will continue warming up through the plains. more snow out west. that's what's going on around the country. good morning. we're seeing some widespread rain once again across d bay area. right now, it's just rain but it may start to turn into thunderstorms which could bring in more heavy rainfall. watch out for that as this storm system gets closer to the bay area going into guys, i want to introduce you. what are your names?

>> andrew. >> and jade. >> 24 years ago, he proposed on the empire state building. you said yes and you came by the next morning, and you are still together? >> that's right. >> congratulations. we love that. love love. >> hey, al. guess who i got down here? i got blacksburg, virginia representative. some high school kids on a road trip. go hokey! we got it. all right. coming up next, what makes life truly worth living? that's the question this yale professor asked the students to consider. the look at his radical approach to finding meaning and joy. get ready.

we're back. have you ever asked yourself how can i find more joy in my life?

more meaning in my life, more purpose in my life? >> there is a new book helping people find answers. it is called "life worth living." maria is joining us live this morning. >> hi, all of you. you give me so much joy and meaning. good morning. well, this book's message is a really special one. in the chaos of all of our lives, the question is how do we actually find a life worth living? the author is a yale professor who also teaches a highly popular class on this topic. now he's sharing his lessons to help us all focus on what matters most. you are watching one of the most popular classes at one of the country's best colleges, yale university. >> our humanity -- >> but here, this professor teaches students something they rarely learn in school, how to

live a meaningful life. when one starts to ask one's self these questions, what matters most? we can get really confused. >> the goal is not to have to constantly think about what kind of life is worth living. the goal is for that vision of a good life to become second nature. >> now they are sharing their tool kit for this. in the new book "life worth living: a guide to what matters most." you say in the beginning this book could wreck your life. is that because you think for many people once they ask these questions, all hell is going to break loose? >> yeah. they may radically change the course of life. >> he says the first step to finding a life worth living, reassess what you think makes you happy. >> we want what we see that other people want. >> too often he says we equate the trivial, like how much money

we earn and what things we can buy with real success. >> the trouble with money is that pretty soon money morphs from being a means to achieve certain end to being an end in itself. >> so how does somebody stop on the road to money and go, wait a minute, do i have enough? what is enough? >> the question can be simply, what am i losing by pursuing monetary success? what am i getting? and what am i losing? >> he says he's been contemplating these questions for decades. growing up in yugoslavia, he found religion which teaches another tenant for living a good life. instead of rejecting those that disagree with you, embrace them. >> there is a command, honor everyone.

which means i need to listen to them, which means i need to open myself up to see whether i can learn something from a person with whom i profoundly disagree. >> he says his students often struggle with this next add age, the importance of pain and suffering. >> we think pain is a negative. you say pain matters. >> i think pain matters because it opens us up to who we truly are. often it is possible for that suffering to turn us into something much more beautiful than we were before. >> students say his class has been life changing. >> i'm starting to think more and more that it's not about what i'm doing so much as why i'm doing the things that i'm doing. i have realized so far in this case community is like one of the most important things to me. and to me, i feel successful if i embody that value day-to-day. >> and he says that's perhaps

the most vital element of a life worth living, cultivating meaningful community and friendships around you. >> if one does it alone, chances of succeeding are much lesser than if you have friends because they make us honest with ourselves and they talk us into the places which we otherwise would not have gone. >> at the end of every chapter, he has readers ponder a list of questions about their choices in life, and they really make you think. and i'm excited to share this book and get people's reactions to it because each question you ask yourself takes you to another question that takes you deeper and deeper. he says so many of us actually have forgotten how to think and question ourselves about what we're doing. >> yeah. >> by the way, during your piece in the middle of it, i already ordered it on amazon. >> i saw that.

>> what are you doing? >> i'm ordering that book right now. those questions i already learned in one piece. >> i just enrolled in yale. i got in. >> what a perfect book for your imprint. maria, thanks. >> my sweet-spot. thank you, guys. nice to see you all. >> when we come back, the recipe for a perfect springtime pasta dish. we will make luingini à la mode. in l las vegas, , the most popular r food is brbroccoli. yeah, , that's s the only f f. ththey have brbroccoli smoothies,s, and brococcoli pancacakes, and brococcoli ice c cream, anand broccolili hotdogs,, anand of coursrse, they hahavw ununseasoned b broccoli.....

the pits taste quite sweet. i was going to use that one, but that's okay. smack it, crush it. >> oh wow! >> okay. what we're going to do now, smash all the garlic. freshen you up in the morning, okay. we got olive oil, lemon leaves. what i have done is kind of blended it in the spice grinder to get a gentle. if you get a pop of the seed, it boils your whole palate up. now a little bit of butter with

>> i love that. come on! >> see how creamy that's getting now? >> what would you have done with the garlic? >> well, in italy, they like to take the garlic out, but i like garlic, so i leave it in. >> were you cooking in italy or meeting with friends? >> so much eating. >> if you come take something back from italy and serve it in your restaurant, what would be? >> you could add a protein to this, right? >> don't do that. >> no. >> okay. okay. on twitter, we asked a question. turns out america would like to see al consume his payday bar. >> twitter has spoken. >> they would like to see that. >> i'll take your word. here, would you help me?
