Summary

My guest this week is Manuel. He and his roommate are in a ferocious argument, screaming at each other in the kitchen. (His roommate, at some point, even spits at him.) Manuel sees him as manipulative, aggressive, and narcissistic. He won’t be happy, he thinks, until the roommate leaves, and he never wants to meet anyone like him again. A hopeless situation? Not if Manuel is able to look to himself to discover and to question the thoughts that are making him so angry and miserable. Join Manuel and me as, step by step, thought by thought, we examine the cause of his suffering.

I invite you to slow your mind down, relax, get still, and join us in this great adventure.

Let’s do The Work! xoxo bk
