Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV): “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

C.S. Lewis quote from The Weight of Glory: “It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”

The One Thing by Gary Keller—The ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth About Extraordinary Results—is a book I mention in the episode. While the core principle is incredibly simple and effective, I personally feel that the author expands on this concept in a way that might make it seem more complicated than it needs to be. I encourage you to focus on the simplicity of the idea rather than getting lost in the length of the book!
