Personal Development Mastery: Clarity for Midlife Professionals in Transition #263 Solo episode: Vipassana, an important announcement, and the epilogue of Personal Development Essentials podcast.
Welcome to Personal Development Mastery podcast episode 263.
This episode holds a unique record: it is the briefest episode of the podcast so far.
For the following couple of weeks, the podcast will temporarily go back to having only one episode a week. The reason is I am going to attend a 10-day Vipassana silent meditation retreat.
This will be the first time I am doing something like this - I have been feeling an inner calling to do it for quite a while now; and finally, the right opportunity has arisen.
I am going to record a special episode after the retreat has ended, discussing why I’ve decided to do this and what my experience and learnings were. All I will say now is that I am fascinated by the prospect (and the challenging trial) of dealing with nothing else but my own mind for 10 consecutive days.
One last thing: Maybe you know that before Personal Development Mastery, I had another podcast called Personal Development Essentials, which I was presenting with my co-host Paul Greig Smith. Recently, after a long hiatus, we published the final episode - the epilogue of the podcast. It is a resounding call to adventure, crammed with a steady flow of incendiary information that is guaranteed to light a fire under your ass and help adrenalize your inner voice.
