"Self-mastery is the ability to live by choice and not by chance." That line from Eric Brown sets the tone for this whole conversation. We range widely: personal growth, what self-mastery actually requires day to day, honesty in relationships, and what he calls the discipline of surrender, which he describes as submitting to a practice that slowly molds you.
We also get into the quieter tools that do a lot of the work, reading and journaling among them. Eric is generous with his own experience, including the parts he is still figuring out, which is the kind of guest I like having on.
