CHAPTER

Fasting for Deep Desires

The chapter explores the concept of fasting as a way to prioritize deep desires over surface desires, urging listeners to live for their eulogy rather than their resume. It discusses Thomas Aquinas' view on substitute gods and leads a reflective exercise to identify personal substitute gods among money, power, pleasure, and honor. Emphasizing self-denial, the chapter highlights fasting as a practice of attentiveness, freedom, and compassion, promoting a rhythmic approach to fasting for spiritual growth.
