Barry Kibrick - Between the Lines

It's easy to see why having a mentor is such an appealing concept. Who wouldn't want someone to hold their hand, put their arm around their shoulder, and usher them through life or business? However, if you don’t have such a person you can do it on your own. In this episode we explore what it takes to listen to your guide inside.

“I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore.” Those words from the film Network feel truer now than ever before. However, as prescient as they seem, the truth is we've never lived in a better time. Why the disconnect? That is what we explore in this episode.

William George Jordan wrote The Majesty of Calmness over 120 years ago. However, the message will resonate with us even more today. This book was given to me by Valorie Kondos Field, the great woman's gymnastic coach of UCLA when she appeared on my show. And, even cooler, it was the first book given to her by her mentor, the great coach John Wooden. When I read it I was so moved that I bought dozens of copies for friends and family and now want to share its wisdom with you. This episode is a guide to living a life of fulfillment due to an enlightened personal state of mind, known as The Majesty of Calmness.

I believe so deeply that if you cannot forgive yourself, you cannot move on with a life filled with purpose, determination, and even some joy. 

In fact, not only is it not a selfish act to forgive yourself first, but it is a selfless act because it frees you up to help not only yourself, but those in your life and then who knows where that leads. 

In this week's episode I propose we take this philosophy to heart and do so as soon as we can.

The reason, it is only "good people" that have an issue with this and we need "good people" to be at the forefront of it all

We all want peace of mind, but is it possible to achieve it? Maybe we have been doing it all wrong. In this podcast I delved deep into how we perceive peace of mind and what we need to adjust to obtain it or what we don't need to do to achieve it.

It was time for a change, and I knew what the change had to be. After doing Between the Lines, with guests and their books, for the past 23 years I needed to have a more personal relationship with you. Plus, I felt passionately that I had to delve deeper into many more ideas, topics and themes that were not always in books, but are of great importance during our current times and to our personal lives. My decision therefore is to do solo episodes in order to engage more directly with you, and you with me. I will also explore things such as online chats, podcasts and other resources to connect with you on a more enriching level. I look forward to you joining me on this journey.
