It has been said about the times we live in that “we are drowning in information while starving for wisdom.” I have discussed this particular topic many times on the podcast, which is why I do the consolidation episodes and the snippets of wisdom episodes.   Today I talk about Wisdom, a social audio app I have been using for a while now, and I see great potential in it - and if you’re listening to this podcast, I believe you will also appreciate it. Wisdom is an audio app where you can ask a question you want to the mentors who are there, and you get voice answers back.   Wisdom is about listening to great answers, meeting like-minded people, and finding inspiration. It elicits conversation and deep reflection through the lens of beautiful questions.  ⠀ Here are some of the questions I’ve been asked: * What motivates you in life? * What’s a grudge you’ve held for too long? * What’s your #1 sleep hack? * What’s your vision for how you will serve the world? * What is a “knowledge broker”? * What favourite quote do you keep near you? ⠀ 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀:⁣ You can download the app here: https://wisdom.app/ OR Ask me anything and get a voice reply: https://wisdom.app/agikeramidas/ask ⠀ 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁:⁣ I am Agi Keramidas, a zealous podcaster and a knowledge broker.

4 In this new series of episodes called "Snippets of Wisdom", I select my favourite, most insightful moments from previous episodes of the podcast.  The snippet of wisdom I chose for today comes from my conversation with Chess Edwards, in episode #081.

The snippet I chose today is about meditation - and the topic is of total relevance and timeliness to me right now, because only a few days ago I completed a 10-day silent meditation Vipassana retreat (see previous episode, #267).  𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:⁣ * Devotion and discipline are necessary for spiritual growth * Meditation is an interruption of the habits of the mind * Self-enquiry: coming into the knowing of the Truth, your eternal nature * A moment to stop and feel into what is the self, beyond the mind, prior to mind - the self that isn't being thought, the self that just is  𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀:⁣ Listen to the full conversation in episodes #081-82:https://bit.ly/pdm_081 ⠀ For a FREE ebook containing the best practical insights and implementable action points from the podcast:PersonalDevelopmentMasteryPodcast.com/ebook  𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁:⁣I am Agi Keramidas, a zealous podcaster and a knowledge broker.
