Ep. 103 - Overcoming Control: Discipline, Joy and Letting Go of "Biohack" Mentality
Listen now
Description
Starting off from the recent work—and calling out—of scientist and wellness personality Andrew Huberman, Ethan explores the relationship between trying to control one's biological reality in relationship to controlling one's environment and relationships. Ethan looks at discipline from a Buddhist perspective, and how the practice of discipline leads us—ironically—to let go of control and perhaps, in turn, experience real joy. Check out all the cool offerings at Dharma Moon, including upcoming Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Trainings. Also check out upcoming in-person retreats in May and June. Pre-Order Ethan's new book, Confidence: Holding Your Seat Through Life's Eight Worldly Winds to be released May 21, wherever you get your books.
