They say if you can learn to die well, you can learn to live well. But most of us are doing the opposite — filling every moment of uncertainty with more: more doing, more fixing, more pushing. This is more-ing yourself. And it's keeping you from everything that's waiting for you in the pause.

This episode is the story of how I found my way out of that circle — and the three-part pa...

What if the cruelty we inflict on each other isn't about ideology, anger, or even hate — but about a pebble in a shoe? When we feel out of control, something happens in our bodies before we think a single thought. A tightness. A queasiness. A flightiness. And in a fraction of a second, our minds spin that sensation into a story — they think I don't belong, I'm not good enough, they're against me —...

What if the Unknown isn't something to survive — but somewhere to arrive? Most of us meet the Unknown the same way: we grip tighter, do more, take on more, read more, plan more.

This episode is about what it actually takes to become unafraid in the Unknown. In this episode, I...
