Simon Mundie is an author, BBC Sports Reporter, and host of “A New Way of Being” Podcast.

After spending many years covering elite level sports and getting to know many of the world’s leading athletes personally, Simon began to see parallels between what he was witnessing on the sporting field and what he was learning about from the ancient nondual wisdom tradition.

He’s recently published a book exploring this connection, which this interview focuses on.

Expect to learn:

— Why success isn’t always synonymous with happiness and what we would be wiser to aim for instead.

— The key spiritual insights that can be gained from studying the lives of elite level athletes

— The importance of doing things for their own sake, and not being overly fixated on the outcome.

And more.
