A New Way of Being

'Self-Enquiry' and Exploring Our Fundamental Nature - Piers Thurston


Listen Later

What is our identity before psychology?

This episode is about self-enquiry, a process you can do to explore what your fundamental identity is, before psychology.

We tend to have an idea about who we are, based on thoughts about our roles in life, our beliefs, what has happened to us in the past, our relationships, tribal affiliations and so on. navigate the social world we live in - but it is certainly not the whole story. And we overlook this deeper essence at our peril.


My guest is Piers Thurston who skillfully leads people through self-enquiry. He leads me (and you!) through an actual direct experience of self-enquiry at the end of this recording.


There is a second part to this conversation, in which we go deeper and explore the implications and benefits of this process & understanding, and it is available to members of my newsletter group, A New Way of Being.

My debut book - Champion Thinking: How To Find Success Without Losing Yourself - is out this Thursday Jan 18. Drawing on some of my favourite interviews from this podcast over the last five years, I want to challenge our ideas about 'success', and where peace, joy and fulfilment are truly to be found. Flow is a fundamental theme.
