Summary

Light Watkins is an expert meditation and spiritual teacher who gave up all his earthly possessions five years ago (save what he could fit into a small backpack) and proceeded to travel the world giving talks on happiness, mindfulness, inspiration, and meditation. Today he shares lessons learned from this experience, imparting wisdom that is equal parts profound and hyper-practical on how to prioritize and cultivate inner happiness, the importance of presence, following your curiosity, the joy of giving what you want to receive, and something he calls the “freedom of choicelessness” that declutters your life decisions. I love Light. He is a wise and gifted teacher. My sense is that this conversation will leave you with more than a few life-altering profundities to ponder and practice.

You just make yourself as loyal as possible to those little impulses without any expectation

or anticipation of a specific result and eventually you will live your way into that

1:03.5

life of your dreams.

1:09.6

It seems like it's fundamental to the human condition, to yearn, to seek answers to life's

1:17.3

most profound questions.

1:19.3

And as human beings, we tend to do this in various ways.

1:22.8
