Description
Chapters

It's a wild and crazy world out there. So we'll be going over our ideas on how to tune it out and find some tranquility.

In Episode #340 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: Ryan Holiday's book called 'Stillness Is The Key', Juan's definition involving external influences, a lack of stillness whilst reading a book about it (lol), tech distractions and why it's ok to let some vices remain untouched, 3 particular chapters worthy of note and why you need to be able to say enough (or Genug in German).

Legendary shoutout to McIntosh for supporting the show this week. A ray of sunshine in an otherwise sad puppy vibe :(

As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
