  • What we love about Eckhart Tolle's Power Of Now
    Eckhart Tolle's work had a significant impact on the speed and depth of my understanding of how to be in the present moment.  As a mindfulness coach, for all students who complete the course, I will always recommend that they read the Power of now to deepen their understanding and learning of the benefits of mindfulness.  Jonathan is a great friend of mine, mindfulness practitioner and another person I suggest to read Eckhart's book.  This was life changing to Jonathan as it has been for many people and this episode focusses on what we both love about Tolle and how his work impacted us.

  • Mindfulness at work...with my boss, Sean Carroll

    We're back with our first Mindfulnews episode for 2021!  This is quite a special one for me as my guest today, Sean Carroll, is someone I've known for about 13 years.  I would make regular visits to Milwuakee for work and Sean was bar tending at the local watering hole, Mo's Irish pub.  Over the years this friendship grew, and then out of nowhere, he joined the software company I work for and soon became my boss.  Ive been lucky enough to have great bosses, and Sean is right up there with the best. The magic of this friendship really took hold as I introduced Sean to mindfulness.  He had reached out to me following some personal challenges, dealing with anger, frustration, relationships.  He didn't know much about mindfulness but he knew he wanted to give it a go.   Cut to almost a year later, his mindfulness practice is going strong and he is closer to his family and more present to them than he has ever been. The transformation is quite remarkable and a great testament to the benefits of Mindfulness.  We talk about his 15 years of software experience, the loss of his parents, dealing with death and the mental illness of a close friend.  We also talk about the lessons learned from being a bartender, and we dig into the multiple benefits that he now enjoys from mindfulness.
