376: How you are living your life, with author and teacher Shane Trotter


Listen Later

We recorded back in late summer, and here is a testament to the power of this conversation: just this morning I was speaking to my teen, and remembering today's guest, Shane Trotter, telling about research on drug addiction. This research was called the "rat playground," in which the positive societies that the rats lived in during the research made it easy for them to turn away from the powerful drugs – like cocaine – that were available 24/7 in the playground.
If you need some hope that things will be okay, THIS is your conversation.
As a young adult, Shane developed a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder called Pino OCD.  And like me with my tendon challenges over the last decade, Shane has found this to be as much a gift as anything else. He wouldn't be who he is today without Pino OCD.
Shane has written a great book, Setting the Bar, which is out just this week and which I know you're going to love. We discuss Setting the Bar, so you'll get a flavor for it. 
There's so much else in here to love. I am excited to share a conversation that I personally found enlightening, inspiring, and so much fun!
