118. Distractions: What's Getting in the Way of Your Best Life with Joshua Becker of Becoming Minimalist
Joshua Becker of Becoming Minimalist, the Uncluttered course, and new book, Things That Matter, shares a wise man’s observation that our imprisonment by our things is not so different from the chains of communism. In addition to our things, Joshua names other distractions we may not even have considered – things like fear, past mistakes, money, work and leisure – and then some we probably have, like all things digital. We talk about steps we can take to be aware of our values, goals and purpose, and how to stay on the path to a life of no (major) regrets. LET’S TALK THE WALK!

112. What Skeptical Law Enforcement Officers Learned About Mindfulness, with Retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent Scot Huntsberry
Scot Huntsberry, retired FBI supervisory special agent, shares today some revelations students had at the FBI’s National Academy when introduced to mindfulness.
