In this episode, we discuss:

Geneen's hellish relationship with food from age 11 to 28
If I had X then I would feel Y thinking (it's a myth)
Working on ultimate contentment and joy
Everybody has challenges... it's challenging to be alive
Losing 30 years of life savings
Focus on what you do have vs what you don't
There's only this moment
What people regret most at the end of their lives
Insight doesn't lead to change
What's not wrong right now?
Very little can't be replaced
Everything ends
Seeing extraordinary in the ordinary
Meeting Eckhart Tolle for the first time
Showing up moment to moment
Stop complaining
When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change
Taking a conscious breath a couple of times a day
The most fabulous thing about being aware of death
Death can happen in any moment
