>> all right. >> here we go. >> the meaning of life is to define your gift. the purpose of life is to give it away. >> who is that? >> picasso. >> yes, it is true. remember, the story they told you about the two that was in the limelight that is something that you everyone else can do and you can't do, and that is your stone, your gift. >> tha it. >> and me and pablo, we are like that. >> like that. >> yeah. >> and so hoda has a feature -- >> in the magazine. >> in the january issue of "live happy" magazine. look, today, you dressed for the magazine, and yesterday was for the book. >> yes, on the matchy-matchy. >> and look at you. >> i look like a nut.

>> that is positively hoda is so true. >> except it looks like i am on some kinds of meds. >> well, you probably are. and is this all book-related? >> well, i is about happy tips and stuff like that. would you like to hear them? >> every day is like an unexpected mini gift wrapped in a bow. i am grateful for what ever the experience is that lies ahead, and i soak it all in. and that would be trite from anybody except for hoda, because that is exactly how you live your life. >> and tips? >> yes. >> okay. >> which is -- play music. i do that. when i feel grumpy, i clickty clack online to get a graduation speech, and it is something about that, a great graduation speech that i like.

>> and this one, you note small tips is that small things add up to the the big things in the life. >> and you see nice and joy. and everybody came to buy the book where we were, and so that and you can still get it on amaz amazon. we love it. tha he e love never do it again, but he is doing it again. we adore him. >> and he is going be hosting the golden globes for the fourth time. and he recently said to ellen, they said that i can say whatever i wanted to say. >> and the promos is been full, right. >> i wonder who he is going to be poking at. >> hi, i'm ricky gervais, and i'm hosting the golden globe awards live from los angeles on january 10th. watch it, if you have nothing better to do. it is three hours [ laughter ]

have her life, her looks, her talent, and her everything, and it com a little whiny to people who that is their dream. and i this thit sometimes this happened very early for her, an easily in terms of the -- and she does hard work, but she was discovered quickly and one movie after another, and she didn't have to audition for anything anymore p of me that us what she is talking about, but for the person who has never been famous, and only wants to be famous, and only wants to be on a red carpet once in their lifetime, it is not going to be coming off the way she intended it too. >> i totally agree with that. if you are famous, its is people who are spending their money or hard-earned money to buy movie tickets and stuff like that, and when you see that person, and you want to approach them in the restaurant, and who doesn't wab nt to do with that. it is part of the drill. she is not on social media.

okay. i know you are thinking, grab a yes, and experts say that you are skipping one crucial tip. >> and we don't know who the experts are, but we will see what this psychologist recommends that you do. >> yes. >> and to check out your naked body before you dry off, and then list five things while you are checking out the naked body, and unless you are you, yosuf, it is five things that you admire about your body. >> oh, no, that would be awful. that is is an awful morning to me. >> isn't it? >> yes. >> and what if you are -- >> first of all to el elevate the self-esteem, and i think that it is going to be depressing you so much more. >> if i am sitting there trying to think of five things when i . >> and they just start coming to you. >> i only need one more, but i

hawaii, and what was he doing with the hands? >> he was probably just making a point in volleyball or watching a sport iing event. yes. telling us who is number yes. >> okay. anyway, the baby girl's name, and this is is sweet. >> well, kind of. so picture this, there is a couple in australia trying to figure out what to name their baby girl, and the husband had a great idea. he said, let's name her lanesra. and the wife said, wow, that is beautiful, and lanesra. she went on the be 2 years old, and the husband said to the wife, i want the tell you why i suggested the name lanesra. she thought it was unique and beautiful and he said, it is his favorite soccer team spelled backwards, arsenal. >> oh, my gosh.

arsenal would have been good. >> and just like oprah and har b harpo, and people mix it up. >> and do you think twice before you send an e-mail. that is another reason i don't do that >> and you should not write phrases like, if this makes any sense, i think, i'm no expert, but, dot, dot, dot. >> i'm sorry. >> yes, that believe it means that the colleagues will lose respect for you. and ro we had a conversation earlier about this, and this is an en are tre preneur tammy rice who has and online will. >> and so they are saying, take on sorry or think or those words. >> and give you a chance t put someg else in, because it is going to be a very, very upsetting -- >> well, to eliminate, i hate to

bother you but this may be a good idea. eliminate the padding. sflt and there are horror stories of the i sent an e-mail, but any time somebody is humble and not full of themselves. >> and this is called i'm not sorry. >> and there you go, we talked are at r risk of heart attack. the day.n is how we w so go to the klgandhoda.com to my opioid pain medication is slowing my insides to a crawl. millions of people are estimated to suffer from opioid-induced constipation, oic, caused by the opioids they use to manage chronic pain. oic is a different type of constipation. opioids block pain signals, but they can also block activity in the bowel. i'm really struggling to find relief... ready to paint a different picture? yes! talk to your doctor about oic and prescription treatment options. i can do that!

tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you have these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. most common side effect is nausea. being a non-smoker feels great. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. >> if your resolution for 2016 is to get healthy, there are important numbers that you need to know about wfr you head to d -- before you head to the doctor. >> and we are talking about more than cholesterol or blood pressure, because we have other risks to tell you if you are at risk to die beez or other

indicated for people over the disease or die beez, and so it is a general pool of the should i do it. if you are above 7.5% on the calculator, you are theoretically a candidate for statin therapy to reduce the risk for heart attack, and cardiologists do this, and when i refer my patients to the cardiologist, you will get that number in the end of the assessment. >> and the first thing you say, pretend you are at risk, and the first thing you don't say is here, take a pill, but you say, this is what needs to be reducing. what i explain to people is that you can change the modifiable risk factors and the nonmodifiable, and you can't change the family history or the age or the sex or the diabetes. >> and listen to good doctor, because she is wrong here. >> and talking yes, hemoglobin a1c.
