Send me a message We've never had more ways to escape boredom than we do today. And yet, we've never been more impatient, anxious, and antsy.  So why so much discontentment when we have so many ways to pass the time? Why such unhappiness despite having infinite entertainment in our pockets? And why are our attention spans shorter than ever? In this podcast, I share the truth about boredom. I…

Spirituality and success are not mutually exclusive endeavors. You don't have to give up all your possessions and move to a cave in India to meditate in solitude in order to find happiness.  Steve Jobs showed us that you can be spiritual and successful. He showed us how spirituality can actually lead to greater success. And he shared how spirituality actually led to him being able to enjoy instead of…

Send me a message Why isn't peaceful oneness our natural way of being? Why does it seem so hard to break free from our fears and pain? Why do we fall for the illusion of separateness? Why is there even this illusion that makes us suffer and feel alone? In this podcast, I get to the heart of why our thinking causes us so much misery. I talk about why…

Life is made up of hard choices. It's those big moments that define our lives. It's not the outcome that matters. It's those precious moments where we get to decide which direction our life takes. We put so much pressure on ourselves to make the right decision, but we forget that it's the journey and freedom of having options that makes life so meaningful. The heart is always open to…

Send me a message Why are we here? Seriously, what's the point? Why is there a universe where we lose everyone we love and everybody dies? Why is there war and famine and widespread poverty? Is there a purpose? What purpose could there be for all this suffering? Is life a cruel joke? These are the age-old questions that have puzzled humans for thousands of years. But perhaps we've been…

Send me a message What can we do when the world is burning all around us? How can we stay hopeful when we are surrounded by hopelessness? What is the point of life when we have nothing to live for? I know that our world can sometimes feel dark, scary, lonely and meaningless. Every hundred years, nearly every single human will die. A slow moving apocalypse is coming for each…

Send me a message We can move forward from any mistakes. We can be freed from all regrets. And we can gain from both wisdom and courage. None of us are slaves to our past. The fact is, notions of regret and mistake live only in the mind. We did not choose our circumstances or our brains. These self-imposed prisons are merely illusions we carry with us. So many of…

Send me a message Why do we give great advice to others and yet we have a hard time following it ourselves? What is the root cause of our own self-sabotage? Why do we keep making the same mistakes over and over again? And what can we do to break the cycle? In this podcast, I talk about why we keep failing to make positive changes and I share a…

There is an epidemic sweeping the world. You may have it and not even know it. That disease is called denialism, and it's not just psychological. It manifests as physical symptoms and can negatively impact every aspect of our life. We live in a world where appearances matter more than truth. We are rewarded if we can shove down our pain, ignore our stress, and drown our sorrows. But when…

When we look around and see the suffering in this world, it can be easy to wonder what the point of life is. But it is not our world that shows us the suffering. It is our mind. When we are happy, we notice the kindness and beauty in this world. When we are in pain, we only see the bad stuff. In today's podcast, I talk about how we…
