#25 Eric Winters: Building the Skills to Live More Authentically
Description
Eric Winters is a self-leadership coach and author of Swipe Right on Your Best Self which answers the question: how do we avoid the number one regret of the dying?
The book is super straightforward with three hurdles we need to overcome, three ways to prepare the body, three ways to prepare the mind, and seven steps at the end to encourage behavior change towards being our authentic selves. But most importantly to me is that it is evidence-based and offers actionable tactics.
In this conversation we dive into questions I had about the book and actually make a lot of connections to Stoic philosophy.
We talk about how junk values from culture, that we've blindly adopted as our own, get in our way.
We talk about how to use the reality of our mortality to motivate us towards action.
We cover the importance of self-compassion and how it helps us achieve our goals.
We strip away the hippie lingo of mindfulness and chat about why it's such an important tool to train attention.
And, as you could guess, there's a whole lot more.
