Learn the four pillars of holistic well-being from Madhu Dasa and how they can revolutionize your approach to health and happiness.


Join me for a fascinating conversation with Madhu Dasa, a former monk turned holistic health and business coach.


Madhu lived as a monk for 5 years, studying ancient Vedic arts and sciences. Now he helps entrepreneurs improve their health, mindfulness, and purpose. In this episode, we dive deep into the four pillars of life - physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.


Madhu shares his journey to self-realization and why taking a holistic approach is critical.


Key takeaways:


- How Madhu went from skeptical teen to dedicated monk after discovering eastern philosophy

- Why human life is incredibly precious and meant for purposeful contribution

- How attachment causes suffering; using "yukta vairagya" to align possessions with service

- Every action has an equal reaction - challenges in life provide opportunities to learn

- True happiness comes from using our unique gifts to uplift others

- To serve others, we must first serve ourselves - care for your body and mind
