There are eight billion minds in the world, and not one of them was made to fit the same cushion.

Description

This week I want to talk about why meditation works beautifully for some people and barely at all for others, and why no single teacher, book or technique was ever going to be the answer for everybody. I tell the story of my own rock bottom at forty, a Saturday afternoon in town with a broken wheelchair and a security guard who said nothing but meant everything. From there to the slow accidental discovery of meditation through As a Man Thinketh, and what it really means to live with an ADHD mind that refuses to sit still. We're all on our own road. The world wasn't designed for you, or me, or any of us. But you can widen your road, push your boundaries, and stop trying to fit into a shape that was never yours.

Key Topics

• Why one meditation method will never work for eight billion different minds
• The night I hit rock bottom, and the kindness that started everything
• Reading As a Man Thinketh by James Allen, and why ten books saying the same thing is hard to ignore
• Neuroplasticity, and how you can widen your road even if you can't change it
• ADHD, dyslexia and finding ways to meditate when your mind refuses to be quiet
• Why accepting yourself is so much easier than trying to change everyone else
