Podcast: Stress, Digital Toxicity, and the Hero’s Journey with Brian Luke Seaward

“In China, we have no word for stress, we call it opportunity”
-Nien Cheng (Life and Death in Shanghai)

Brian Luke Seaward is one of those wandering souls whose adventures leave me feeling in awe and envious at the same time.  Besides being a best-selling author and international lecturer, he has also taught mindfulness at the White House, won awards as a filmmaker, and photographed some of the most beautiful places in the world.  Brian’s passion to help others live happy, meaningful lives stems from his childhood living with alcoholic, abusive parents.  His ability to inspire us to  transform our lives comes from his own transformation that began as a teenager and continues today.

We cover a lot of ground in today’s podcast, from how to get out of negative thinking loops to how crisis can be transformative.  We also talk about the hero’s journey, digital toxicity, and how to stop being a victim of your life.  I think you will find many nuggets from Brian that could be life changing in both small and large ways.

“This program is a way of life, one which I have adopted successfully, and more importantly one which I have sustained for over one year now. My weight remains steady at 160 pounds (down from 216). My energy levels rival that of someone 20 years younger than me (I’m now 57), enabling me to exercise in any way that I desire, from lifting weights to intense cardio sessions.”
— Michael Little

“After completing my 10-week program, I had a regularly-scheduled appointment with my doctor. Because my cholesterol has always been above the normal range (229 last year) I requested that she test it again this year. I’m happy to report that my total cholesterol dropped to 169, which is in the normal range, and all my other numbers improved as well.”
