Summary

If you’ve ever wanted to achieve great things, and enjoy the process along the way, then do we have the Fully Engaged Show for You!

Today I’ll be talking with best-selling author Thomas M. Sterner, accomplished musician and composer, and the best-selling author of The Practicing Mind, and his latest, Fully Engaged.

And that’s just what I want to talk with him about today, how to use the Practicing Mind to accomplish our goals with ease and a sense of calm awareness.

That plus we’ll talk about butterfly brains, Laura Decker and sailing, a GPS gone awry, music theory class madness, the power of practicing golf, the little book that could, and an overnight success in only ten years flat, and why in the world you don’t want the stagehand to let the pianist in early!

Be Here Now (Mindfulness) Self-Help and Self-Improvement Topics Include:

  18. What’s the concept of ‘sterile concept’ for a pilot
  19. What’s the importance of meditation (what he calls thought awareness training)
  20. How to understand you are not your thoughts and that you are the ‘observer’
  21. How to use meditation to observe your mind
  22. Why are people better at meditation than we think
  23. Why he’s not a big fan of guided meditations
