How bad did it get? [07:27]Why did Rich decide to pursue a career in law? [16:09]What was the last straw that made Rich decide to seek help for his addiction to alcohol?

[40:45]Rich says that addiction is “a spectrum so broad that almost anybody can find themselves somewhere along the line.” Even if you might not consider yourself an addict, the tools of addiction recovery can often be used to help you break bad patterns you find yourself repeating.

How often does he succeed in fending off disruptions to this schedule?

I talk about my experiences as a monk and share insights on meditation, mindfulness, and conscious capitalism. I also talk about the double-edged sword of social media and how it can be used for good. Our conversation also touches on the topic of happiness, and I provide tips on how to reframe one's perspective on life. We should reflect on one's passions and expertise, find patterns in one's life, and create an environment for opportunities to come later.    You can order my new book 8 RULES OF LOVE at 8rulesoflove.com or at a retail store near you.

This week’s episode is a special compilation episode all about stress: what it is, where it comes from, and what we can do to manage it better in our lives. Even before the events of the past 20 months, we were living in the middle of a stress epidemic. For many years now, the World Health Organization has been calling stress, the health epidemic of the 21st century. Many of us think that we can get away with burning the candle at both ends forever. But the reality is very, very different. Stress impacts every single organ of the body and chronic stress is at the root of many modern chronic diseases. On my podcast, I have had the great pleasure of talking to some of the leading thinkers and scientists across the globe and this week my team and I have put together some of the very best bits from previous episodes to give you actionable tips that I hope help you live a happier, more fulfilling, and stress-free life.This episode includes clips from:Episode 41 – Dr Rangan Chatterjee and Dr Ayan PanjaEpisode 28 - Rich RollEpisode 183 - Greg McKeownEpisode 95 - Claudia HammondEpisode 113 - Brian MacKenzieEpisode 124 - James NestorEpisode 109 - Kelly McGonigalEpisode 2 - Michael Acton-SmithEpisode 80 - Dhru PurohitThanks to our sponsors: https://www.calm.com/livemore https://vivobarefoot.com/livemore http://www.athleticgreens.com/livemore Show notes available at https://drchatterjee.com/214 Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.
