Why you’re constantly zoning out

Ever found yourself drifting away during a meeting? Well, you're not alone. In this episode, I explore tales from Buddhist, Chinese, and Ancient Indian philosophy that shed light on why your dishwashing routine might just be the luxurious break your mind needs. From the serene practices of Zen monk Thich Nhat Hanh to the profound questions posed by Russian author Leo Tolstoy, let's delve into the power of living in the present. We'll also find out how cats, a common household pet, might teach us more about Zen than we think, while a little origami crane or a rogue helium balloon can serve as a stark reminder of life's little miracles. Whether you're racing against the clock for a presentation or just savoring a slice of pizza, this episode invites you to embrace every moment. Tune in to think about the simple pleasures of daily life, and meditate together, mindfully.
