Summary

Danielle LaPorte is an author and poet living in Vancouver, Canada. I’ve been reading her books for years and this is her second time on the podcast--this time we spoke over zoom a few weeks ago about what she’s been learning lately. She has a way of articulating esoteric concepts in a way that goes down real easy for me, always has. This time we got into: how the only way out is through, self help exhaustion and how we don’t need to fix ourselves, how non-duality is a creative act, self forgiveness vs self discipline, , the way I discovered her in 2013 and her memory of that, cycling and syncing with the moon, Krishnamurti on “discipline is a tool that numbs the mind,” on having to stay up late and eat crackers for dinner after you overcommit, what she calls tyrant time vs power time, and how she bends time, her feedback on what makes a good interview and more. Her new book is called How to Be Loving, and I especially love her early book The Desire Map. Let us know if you listen.
