For more visit breakthenorms.com.   Episode Outline:   • A Family of Gurus – Chandresh talks about his childhood and how he grew up in a family of spiritual Gurus.   • The Seeds of Questioning – Chandresh talks about the passing of his sister and a close childhood friend when he was younger, both of which happened within a few years of one another, and how they became a catalyst that planted seeds of questioning in him, particularly about life and death and meaning and how to live.   • Pain As A Teacher – Chandresh shares how we can use the pain in our lives as a catalyst towards our spiritual growth and development.   • Break the Norms – Chandresh talks about the Break The Norms movement and how that began.   • Today’s New Age Spirituality – Chandresh and I discuss today’s New Age Spirituality and chanting Sanskrit mantras, cursing freely, tattoos, veganism and more.   • Just Be You –Chandresh shares a practice he calls “Uncover Your Authenticity”.   • God – Chandresh and I discuss a humorous conversation he had with a Sanskrit scholar in regards to the nature of God, which we explore in greater detail.   • Edging God Out – You have a chapter discussing the ego, which is always a hot topic amongst spiritual enthusiast. I remember even Wayne Dyer humorously sharing about how he couldn’t even keep track of how many times he’s gone back and forth about it, one minute suggesting we befriend it, only to later say we need to destroy it, and back and forth etc. So what is ego from your perspective and what the hell do we do with it?   Recommendations:   Chandresh's Website   Break The Norms Website   Chandresh’s Book: Break The Norms   Other Books: 10% Happier by Dan Harris, Real Happiness by Sharon Salzberg
