I was supposed to attend a workshop by Bryon Katie in June. I've enjoyed listening to and reading about her teaching. This is an episode on Byron Katie's teachings and the concept of Qadar in Islam.

Well, the 11 years of the bull market ended with this new virus scare. We are officially in the bear market, with >20% drop. What does this all mean? What lessons can we learn?
