Life is about engaging with the choices you can make right now, and embracing uncertainty with the courage to choose again and again.

In this episode of Real Things Living, host Brigitte Cutshall speaks with entrepreneur and author Hussein Hallak about his book "The Dark Art of Life Mastery" and his mission to turn lived experience into legacy.

They explore why making choices—big or small—matters more than getting them “right,” how curiosity and resilience shape our growth, and why human connection will always outweigh technology’s advances.

This conversation is a reminder that the real art of life is not about control, but about choosing fully in the present moment—again and again.3 Takeaways:

(1) Choice is a skill—the more often you practice making decisions, the more confident and resilient you become.

(2) Small choices matter—you’re not stuck; if something isn’t working, you can make a different choice in the moment.

(3) Human stories connect us—technology can assist, but it can’t replace the meaning, empathy, and joy we create through lived experience.
