This week we talk to Timber Hawkeye

Timber Hawkeye is the author of the very popular book Buddhist Boot Camp. He offers a non-sectarian approach to being at peace with the world. 

His book was created from a series of blog posts and emails that friends encouraged him to publish. The book is a straightforward, plain spoken discussion of ways to live a better life.

 In This Interview Timber and I Discuss...
  • The One You Feed parable.
  • How feeding one wolf makes it stronger and more likely to show up again.
  • The process of creating his book.
  • Fight Club and the Parable of the Two Wolves.
  • Leaving  his corporate job to live in Hawaii and live a simple life.
  • "It's not the table, it's who is with you at dinner."
  • That happiness is not waiting for us in the distance but is available to us now.
  • How exhausting the pursuit of happiness can be.
  • The difference between feelings and emotions.
  • Making our own choices, paying our own prices.
  • We are the victims of our own choices.
  • The suffering we create for ourselves.
  • That pain is inevitable but suffering is optional.
  • Feeling are not facts.
  • Naming our demons and feeding our faith.
  • Going beyond setting intention to setting actions.
  • Explaining our anger instead of expressing it.
  • How quickly we cross the line from discussion to argument.
  • How vulnerability helps us to connect,
  • That your mind is like a spoiled rich kid.
  • How what you will allow will continue.
