Episode notes

Eckhart Tolle once told a story about holding his breath for seven minutes. He said he could do it, but only if he didn't think about it. How have you become better at looking at the thing that you are resisting and actually leaning towards it? "There really is no tomorrow in many respects"

Joshua Fields Millburn is one-half of The Minimalists. He is also a New York Times–bestselling author, Emmy-nominated Netflix filmmaker, podcaster, writing instructor, and international speaker.

But in this conversation, he spoke about why he doesn’t get too attached to those labels, the practice of grounding, why he doesn’t use his phone on Saturdays, why discipline is a misnomer, and much more.
