I had a powerful experience in Mexico with my friend Johnny Miller, who is just one of the wisest humans. He led a breathwork session and it was like an overwhelming sense of joy. I don't think I realized it at the time, but there it was permission to play again for me. And then when we went back to Taiwan for 2021 when I wrote the book, the book was really a release of that again too. It was so fun. And I started learning yo-yo and learning all these tricks. And I bought these yo-yos and got into it.
Paul Millerd is a writer.
In this conversation, we spoke about how his book has sold 12,000 copies in a year without him trying, why sabbaticals are the key, the problem with our wage-based society, and why Paul took the long, slow, stupid way but why it's paid off for him.
