Zenlarge Show

Would you like to travel, but think you can't afford it? Think again!

Philip Frey joins me to discuss how he hitchhiked across Europe on just $6 per day! (We say $7/day during the podcast, but our math was bad. It was actually $6/day.) He shares how he was able to visit 10 countries in 40 days, embracing the philosophies of minimalism, frugality, and stoicism. Learn the ins and outs of hitchhiking and couch surfing. Learn the importance of networking. Learn frugality hacks, like how to get free tickets to museums.

Philip's tale is inspirational. Not only do we hear how he stepped outside of his comfort zone to have an adventure, but we get to see a nice window into the kindness of strangers. I left the conversation feeling pride in the human spirit and a warm hope for humanity.

Give the show a listen. You won't regret it!

LET is a method of communication and conflict resolution that enables anyone who has been placed in a leadership position to get better results and to do it in a manner that is pleasant for both the leader and their followers. It is based on the same principals as Gordon’s Parent Effectiveness Training, which of course has been mentioned numerous times on the show.

We live in a world full of people who were traumatized as children. Daniel Mackler wants to heal that world.

Today's show is a replay of a discussion I had with Daniel Mackler a couple years ago about the healing of psychological wounds. I got so much great feedback about this episode that I decided to release it again!  Now new listeners get a chance to hear it. And even if you heard this one already, it's worth another listen. It's that good.  :)

We cover the 4 stages of enlightenment (dissociation, depression, grieving, enlightenment), as well as how positive thinking techniques and psychotherapy could be keeping you from healing your wounds. This conversation goes from celibacy, to minimalism, to world travel, and beyond!  Give it a listen!
