What is a Good Life? #37 - Exploring Before Psychology with Piers Thurston What is a Good Life?
-
- Self-Improvement
On the 37th episode of the What is a Good Life? podcast, I am delighted to have Piers Thurston as our guest.
Piers is the founder of Quality of Mind, where he explores profound realisations that precede psychology, leading to transformative shifts in psychology.
In this episode, Piers takes us on his journey, from exploring counselling, NLP, and other modalities to direct path non-duality.
We also discuss the challenges often faced in personal development rooted in self-identification, breaking free from our addiction to focussing on our psychology, transcending the confines of the mind while fully embracing our emotions, and ultimately, discovering a sense of oneness and ease that can be experienced in life when we let go of our attachment to the separate self.
If you’re frustrated with your personal development endeavours or you find yourself clinging too tightly to your self-identity, at the cost of more fully connecting with others and life itself, this episode offers plenty of food for thought.
It articulates or points to a oneness that you've perhaps long suspected, but resisted embracing, that can have a profound effect on how you perceive life.
