Millennial in the Middle

#49: A Calm Mind — James Chadwick discusses his Adventurous Life and 11 Day Silent Meditation


Listen Later

James Chadwick is a British author who has lived all over the world. Always restless, he quit school to hitchhike across Europe and the Middle East, where he rented snorkels in Israel and ran a guesthouse in a Turkish cave. At Oxford University, he studied mythology and utopian literature. Then, for twenty-five years, he worked in more than a dozen countries.

On his travels, he took thousands of pages of notes, hoping one day they would mean something. Then, after a ten-day silent meditation retreat in Java, the patterns in the notes became very clear, and he sat down to write Path.


In today’s episode we talk about his early adulthood, time working across Asia and his meditation retreat! James has become a friend and mentor to Connor as they have connected over discussing what it means to truly be “in the middle.”
