Description

<p>In this episode of The Mind Full Podcast, I’m joined by the wonderful Vaisesika Dasa. Vaisesika is a monk, author, and spiritual teacher who has spent decades studying ancient wisdom - but don’t worry, this isn’t one of those conversations where you’re expected to abandon modern life and live in a cave! In fact, one of the biggest takeaways for me was how practical his ideas are.</p><br><p>His book, <em>The Four Questions</em>, centres around one simple idea: the quality of your questions shapes the quality of your life. We talk about purpose, service, attention, and why most of us are throwing our focus around like loose change.</p><br><p>There’s warmth, humour, and a lot of wisdom in this chat - including one brilliant piece of advice that I genuinely haven’t stopped thinking about since!</p><br><p>You can find Vaisesika <a href="http://www.instagram.com/vaisesikadasa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@vaisesikadasa</a> on Instagram, he’s also on Facebook and gives really interesting lectures on Youtube.</p><br><p>And his book <em>The Four Questions</em> is a lovely, simple and effective place to start if you’re looking for some more direction and fulfillment in your life.</p><br><p>For more information on Vaisesika’s work, and to buy ‘<em>The Four Questions</em>’ visit <a href="http://www.vaisesikadasa.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">​​www.vaisesikadasa.com</a></p><br><p>If you're new to the series, why not take the time to go back and catch up on the wonderful interviews that you may have missed!</p><br><p>Visit<a href="http://www.dermotwhelan.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> www.dermotwhelan.com</a> for more information and don't forget my latest book <em>Busy and Wrecked</em> is out now!</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
