Summary
Do you know how to love? And more importantly, do you know how to let love in?
In this conversation, I sat down with the legendary Bobby Klein at his own awesome home in Tulum, Mexico who shares the most important life lessons he has learned throughout his 89 years of life, including why the bottom line of life is always love.
Plus, we explored the ideas of what this human experience is, our inner guidance and intuition, and how necessary it is to be brutally honest with ourselves.
As we go deep into what the hell we are doing here, he shared a handful of fascinating and badass experiences in his life.
Bobby Klein is a truly special guest: He carries a rare wealth of experience, deep compassion, and an arsenal of healing tools. He's a clinical psychologist, spiritual and psychological educator, writer, and intuitive Life Path Counselor. He was also a driving force in securing the legalization of acupuncture in America and became one of the first practicing acupuncturists in the United States. He is a true elder and a new friend I see as a mentor.
What we discuss:
03:53: Why 'fake it till you make it' is horse shit
05:09: What stands out that is different in the world today compared to the 60s?
