Summary

If we're practicing non-attachment, how should we approach things like goals and relationships? Should we avoid such things? I don't think so. Goals are great and so are relationships. So how should we approach goals and relationships in the context of non-attachment? These are the ideas I will explore in this podcast episode.

0:00.0	Welcome to another episode of the Secular Buddhism Podcast. This is episode number 74. I am your host Noah Rochetta.
0:08.3	And today I'm talking about goals, relationships, and non-attachment.
0:17.6	Quick reminder that Dalai Lama once said, do not use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist.
0:23.6	Use it to be a better whatever you already are. Before I jump into this podcast episode,
0:29.6	I want to give you a couple of quick updates. First of all, I'm excited to announce that the

1:54.1	The only way I've been able to do that in the past is to go somewhere and to host this in person.
