We all know that there's no ‘magic number’ of years of schooling that will make us successful. If there were, it would be ten – ten mindset lessons, that is. These are the ones we learn in life regardless of where we go to school or how many degrees we earn. These are worth more than any diploma or piece of paper. Success isn't defined by a number, it's defined by your mindset. In this episode, I discuss 10 mindset lessons that are worth more than 10 years of school.

8-Life Changing Lessons From Atomic Habits
Small habits can have a powerful impact on our lives – the challenge is that we don’t see the impact from these habits real-time, we only see the results of our habits after a while. This delay in positive change can mean most of us become discouraged. However, it's important that we focus on our current trajectory, rather than our current results. In this episode, I discuss my notes on ideas and concepts I found interesting from the #1 New York Times bestseller book, Atomic Habits.

Dr. Chris Palmer, Harvard psychiatrist and author of Brain Energy, has developed the first comprehensive theory of what causes mental illness.

Untangling Our Path To Clarity, Courage, and Compassion
Sensei Koshin Paley Ellison has devoted his life to the study and application of psychotherapy and Buddhism. As a young, gay kid dealing with abuse and discrimination, he forged a path towards healing and inner strength through the discovery of Zen teachings. Through his current work, he is able to guide others to discover clarity, courage, and compassion. In this episode, we discuss the superpower of becoming free when we learn how to be still with our pain, how society pushes us into the narrow track of “normal”, and asking ourselves what our own wisdom says we need.
