I’m excited to welcome Dandapani to the podcast. Dandapani is a former monk, Hindu priest, and entrepreneur. After spending 10 years at a monastery in Hawaii, he now works with top world athletes, entrepreneurs, and companies, including Nike, McKinsey, and Bloomberg, helping them understand and leverage their minds. His TEDx talk on the power of focus has over 6.4 million views and his book The Power Of Unwavering Focus was released in early 2022. On this episode, we talk about:

the benefits of living a focused life, from a former monk’s perspective
the real cost of distraction on our relationships (that you might not be realizing)
what everyone gets wrong about pursuing happiness
the one thing you need to figure out to know what your purpose in life is
pragmatic action steps for uncovering your life’s purpose
an exact script for getting to know yourself better
how to concentrate on whatever you WANT, and let go of things you don’t want to focus on
a genius tip for building your ability to concentrate without adding any new tasks to your life
the specific way to use social media to limit its negative impact on your brain
three ways to develop more willpower
the number one lesson he’s learned about living a meaningful life in years of being a monk & Hindu priest
and so much more!
