Summary
David Rutherford breaks down the question he's been chasing since the COVID mental health crisis exploded: is it possible to find peace when you're consumed by pain? You'll learn why peace and pain aren't opposites but coexisting forces, what three male lions stalking a buffalo herd taught David about patience under pressure, and how to find "the center" — the point where you can perceive peace as clearly as you perceive pain — in your own daily grind. David also shares the conversation about suffering with his friend Dr. Dan Luna that set the whole journey in motion. This one launches a theme you'll be seeing a lot more of on the show: The Center.
